| #11 To be fair, Putin is picking up the pieces from the Obama team's screw-up. That just takes a certain amount of cunning and an ability to recognize opportunity. |

| #10 There are dung beatles in the Egyptian desert which could outsmart Obama. All Putipoot had to do was sit back and wait for Champ to f*#k it up. Not even a long wait. |

| #9 O outstupided everyone, so Pooty won by default. Everyone. I can't think of anybody he can't outstupid. Except the American voter. Even the dead ones. |

| #8 This country seems so afraid of an alpha male. I still say Romney should have sent a gift of a fine horse to Putin. What a strong signal to be sent. The Russians love their horses. A sportsman or woman like Sara Palin scares the socks off the left. They want he-she's or she-he's with an emphasis on the she part. Confused and weak people to run the country. Back stabbers the lot of them. Can you see a vision for this country?. Do you see us leading in anything?. This is why I call the left regressive progressives. They talk of a third party. Now is time. Both parties have abandoned the people. Pander to minorities. There are many in both parties disenfranchised. The democrats will run out of other peoples money as is happening now. Minorities will not pay the bills. |

| #3 That's a pretty low bar; even a microphone has outsmarted The Won. Wonder how he would do against, say a fork? |

| #2 Garry Kasparov, yes I have not heard that name in years. Putin is many things but he is a strong leader. He has energy, new wife, great wealth and strong mind. Such a vast country with so many different peoples. His people do not want war. They want consumer goods. Money and good living standards. They will always fear the cold Russia of the past. If he can do those things he will win over many in his country to pursue his goals. You can fault him on many things but he is a much better leader that the one. The only people Obama can push around are his own countrymen and I still don't think of him as one of us. |

| #1 Hardly takes a Garry Kasparov to figure this one out. Putin knows the Champ will back the Broederbond either directly or indirectly. The perfect vacuum is then created. The Russian moves, we lose. I might have done the same thing. |
