Putin to Obama: CrimeaRiver
Christian Post, CP Opinion ^ | April 9, 2014 | Ron Hart

It has been interesting to watch Putin gain in popularity as he outwits Obama. Since he invaded Crimea, Putin's approval ratings in Russia have gone up 10 points. In another of his historic "firsts," Obama has done what no other president has done: make Putin look better.

As the Obama administration argues over which symbolic, empty gestures it plans to use next, Putin smiles (or sneers, I'm not sure which; with him, it's a creepy yet subtle distinction).

Hillary and the O-bots did what they do best: made speeches on the matter, one even comparing Putin to Hitler. To be fair, all Putin did was take back part of a bordering country that used to be a part of the Soviet Union and probably wanted to re-join Mother Russia anyway. It's not like Putin forced all the citizens of a country to buy expensive, government-mandated health insurance he deemed they needed -- or go to jail.

For those keeping sanction score at home, so far Obama has only gotten Putin kicked out of the meaningless G-8 meeting. Don't underestimate this; it means Putin doesn't get his 2014 G8 T-shirt or the handsome tote bag with Angela Merkel's picture on it.

LOL - funny stuff - thanks for posting.

In every online poll, Putin is the most popular leader on earth. He routinely gets 90%. Western leaders are lucky to even break 10%. Life looks coming up roses for Vlad, sanctions included.

Obama seems powerless to do much about the macho Putin.
Putin pumps iron, while our presidents don't even pump their own gas.

Barring Obama's impeachment, Putin has two years eight months to install an alternate currency to the petro Dollar for oil future transactions, and it doesn't have to be the Ruble to guarantee a descendent US economy.

And that's assuming the US doesn't elect another Rat.

You got the order right, and likely if Putin sees Obama and all his S**t disturbin' DemoRat buddies go to prison, he will quickly lose interest in the Americas.

Saudi Arabia won't be so lucky.

When Russians look at Putin, they believe even better days are ahead for them.

The Obama ignoramouses are already accusing Russia of using gas prices to control Ukraine.

In their world everything should be available for free. If they can supply gas for cheaper than what Gazprom charges to deliver to Ukraine, good luck!

They haven’t a clue.
