There are several posts in the last few days (almost all from right wingers) about how "strong" Putin seems to be and....of course.....how "weak" in comparison Obama is viewed.
Throughout these posts there never seems to be an admission by these same right wingers that Obama's "weakness" is perceived by the Russians PRECISELY because of the hate-filled attitudes and statements made by these same right wingers.....including the louder voices by right wingers in congress.....and such does NOT go unnoticed by the Russian leadership.
What should be kept in mind by these right wingers is also the very real fact that we......unlike Russia.....are a much, much more open society when expressing and accepting of criticism of our leaders than Russia.
So, this "new found love" (and in some cases even longing) for the likes of Putin, is contingent and correlates to the "hatred" of Obama by many....on this forum....and, much more importantly, by our electorate (and media) in general..
