  1. Putin may be mean but I haven't heard him called stupid.


  2. He might...

    But I sure do.

  3. (Preface:  This is exactly the kind of question the Yahoo police will yank, claiming it is not a legitimate question, so if I were you, I'd add some detail to protect your question)

    Putin is counting on Obama to be a "useful idiot" (the term supposedly used by Lenin to refer to gullible, naive "anti-war" people in the U.S. who would be oblivious [or even ambivalent] to Communist infiltration).  Putin would play Obama for a fool.  He'd prey on his biggest weakness: Obama's desire to look Presidential, be popular, and inspire people to think he is a great leader.

    This is exactly what Gorbachev attempted with Reagan.  In Reykjavic, Gorbachev promised Reagan an unbelievable list of concessions:  he'd massively reduce the Warsaw Pact military force threatening Western Europe, get rid of ALL ballistic missilesby 1996, eliminate bombers, and concede to Reagan's demands for absolute verification of all terms.  Then, Gorbachev pulled the rug out from Reagan:  Gorbachev would concede all these things as long as Reagan stopped SDI (Star Wars) research.

    Reagan was left with a choice:  he could become the most massively popular and respected leader of the 20th Century, and be praised throughout the world by accepting Gorbachev's offer.  Or, Reagan could do what he knew was the right choice:  walk away from the bargaining table.

    Reagan made the tough choice.  He passed up on instant "stardom".  He would have had parades in his honor.  He'd be assured a place of reverence in history.  Instead, he did what he knew was in the best interest of America.  Can you imagine Clinton passing up a chance for popularity?  More pointedly, can you imagine Obama passing up an opportunity like that?

    Oh yeah, Putin will play Obama like a puppet master.

  4. What a mean thing to say about clowns!

  5. he thinks bush and mcsame are clowns when bush looked into his eyes and saw his soul i believe he was looking up something else

  6. He most likely considers him another Jimmy Carter.
