A Question Of True Leadership
Call him what you want but Putin has a grasp on HIS countries values. As most of you over the age of 50 understand Russia was/is our enemy, maybe not at cold war standards, but still a geo-political enemy.
It goes against everything I was raised to believe that Americans should trust Russia, that being said, Putin seems to be more worried about his country than Obama cares about his. He may be a tyrant, maybe even holds true the values of communism, but he is a leader. Whether you can trust anything he says is irrelevant, he is a strong leader, something we are sorely lacking in todays America. And I agree with this graphic, Obama could learn a few things from him.
Don’t mistake my praise as admiration, it is not, it is simply a perception of leadership, right or wrong the man is decisive.

Putin’s a hunter & warrior, Who means exactly what he says and isn’t afraid of the consequences.
Obama’s a limp-wristed procastinator who generates plent of hot air but fails to deliver.
Which one would you perfer to have watch your back in a firefight.
Barack?…….NYEHT
Vladimir……DA
Toejam – Putin in a fire fight, I wouldn’t have time to locate where Bambam and Reggie were playing cards.
Toejam +1.
I’ve never understood why people come here to get away from something in their country of origin, and then immediately try to change America to be like the place they just left. If you don’t like America the way it is then either stay the hell away or go back to where you came from.
Tim – I guess they like running water and electricity with their Sharia.
Ok, I’ll bite here. What place did YOU come from, CenTexTim?
BD – I don’t know where Tims ancestors are from, but he is all Texas all the time, and that is a good thing.
BoatDriver – I was born here, but my father’s family came over from Poland in the early 1900s (and I don’t take offense at Polish jokes, so hit me with your best shot).
He was the only one of 13 brothers and sisters who was born here – the rest were born in the Old Country. They got off the boat speaking no English, with no job waiting, no friends, no relatives – the whole immigrant story. Granddad went to work in the western PA coal mines, followed by his sons when they were old enough. They learned English, became citizens, worked hard, saved their money, and generally became productive members of society. They didn’t try to remake America into Poland – they assimilated (IOW, they improvised, adapted, and overcame).
I have absolutely no problem with people moving here from another country. What I do have a problem with is people moving here from another country and then demanding that we change our laws, language, customs, and traditions to accommodate them>.
I’m not suggesting they abandon their heritage. Look at the Irish and the Italians, for example. They still retain a strong sense of their heritage, but have also blended into (and added to) the national fabric. That’s the model I wish more immigrant groups would follow.
Tim – Well said my good man.
arghh … stupid HTML…
