Pres. Obama has made Putin Leader of the Free World
WDTPRS ^ | September 12, 2013 | Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

Sometimes it seems that I am living in a Salvador Dali landscape: clocks melting of tables and all that.

Even as I hear about unions turning on the First Gay President over Obamacare, I find an op-ed in today’s Hell’s Bible (aka NY Times) by former KGB colonel and present Leader of the Free World, Vladimir Putin.

I read the op-ed against the backdrop of Syrian dictator Assad, in a politically deft move, saying right on schedule that it was not the Pres. Obama’s resolve for a military solution that moved Charlie Brown’s football down the field, but rather Putin’s and Russia’s involvement. Well-coordinated. Sly.

Here are a couple points from Putin’s op-ed.

A Plea for Caution From Russia
What Putin Has to Say to Americans About Syria

[...]

The potential strike by the United States against Syria, despite strong opposition from many countries and major political and religious leaders, including the pope, … [!]

[...]

My working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust. I appreciate this. I carefully studied his address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States’ policy is “what makes America different. It’s what makes us exceptional.” It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation. There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. [He's is talking to Obama's liberal dem base! But a KGB officer would know how to do that.] Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord’s blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.

You don’t get to be on the top of the pile in Russia by being either stupid or a nice guy. This was pretty slick.

Putin invokes the Pope.

Putin affirms Obama’s determination to undermine American exceptionalism.

Putin invokes our creator, who “created us equal”, which point Obama has been systematically excluding from his references to the Declaration of Independence.

Pres. Obama has made Putin Leader of the Free World.

One of the Fox and Friends hosts did an excellent comparison of Putin and Obama this morning. Sorry I cannot find the transcript. Essentially he held the two up reminding viewers that Putin is a communist and trained killer vs Obama who is a recipient of the Nobel Peace prize. Yet, Putin is the one defending the Syrians while Obama is the one sponsoring the Muslim Brotherhood. It hit home.

And, in related news, Pravda actually contains a great deal of truth, and your best source of US News resides in UK websites.

Before you post pictures of deliberate Russian propaganda, I would suggest googling “Putin action photos.” If your dumb enough to believe Putin is a Harley rider, big game hunter, black belt holder, deep sea diver, formula one race car driver, tiger tamer, polar bear killer, horse rider, shirtless fly fisherman, airplane pilot and whale hunter with a crossbow then your mind falls easily for government deception.

Any man who made Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago required reading in Russian schools can’t be all bad.

I guess action pictures of the leader of the Free World are more to your liking.

Black belt judo in action

Big game hunter

F1 driver

As Ann Coulter said, longing for the time America was hated instead of ridiculed.

Putin pulled Zero out from the corner he painted America into.

You post deliberately staged Russian propaganda and now you think I am going to defend Obama?

The fact is that Putin did ride in front of thousands of bikers in the international gathering of bikers in Crimea and he chose AMERICAN, not Japanese, Italian or German bike to ride. It was not photo op in the studio or behind closed doors.

As far as I know, unlike almost everything else made in China, Harleys are still made in the U.S. of A. and bring bread to the table to people making and selling them.

"Commie" working for the benefit of American economy, what an irony.

The biggest take-away from the Putin's op-ed is this: like it or not, for better or worse, he seems to have a better understanding of America/Americans that the so-called "president" himself.

But who could possibly be surprised at that? (yeah, rhetorical question.)
