BOTH PUTIN AND OBAMA HOPE TO ADVANCE THEIR AGENDAS BY USING FALSE CLAIMS. THEY ONLY REAL DIFFERENCE I SEE BETWEEN THESE TWO MEN IS THAT ONE IS OPERATING FROM A POSITION OF STRENGTH WHILE THE OTHER IS A MERE WEAKLING WITH LITTLE OR NO SPINE. 
JUST YESTERDAY IN A SPEECH IN THE NETHERLANDS BARACK OBAMA TOLD US HOW HE REALLY SEES THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENT, VLADIMIR PUTIN. SHOCKINGLY HE TOLD THOSE GATHERED THERE THAT RUSSIA WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A REGIONAL POWER AND WAS OPERATING FROM A POSITION OF WEAKNESS IN CRIMEA. TALK ABOUT SPIN! EITHER PRESIDENT OBAMA IS A UTTER FOOL OR IS JUST LYING TO HIMSELF IN THE VAIN HOPE THAT THE LIE WILL PREVAIL AND IN THE END BECOME THE TRUTH. PERHAPS HE WAS LIVING IN THAT SAME ABSURD WORLD WHEN HE TOLD AMERICANS THEY COULD KEEP THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE AND THEIR DOCTOR. DOES BARACK OBAMA HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT HE'S SAYING OR DOES LYING JUST COME NATURAL TO HIM. AT ANY RATE SAYING THAT PUTIN IS WEAK AND RUSSIAN ONLY A REGIONAL POWER GOES BEYOND STUPID OR IS JUST A TRIP TO THE LAND OF THE UNICORNS. IMAGE BY AFTERMATH
THERE IS LITTLE DOUBT THAT ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN IS SEEN AS A STRONG LEADER OF HIS NATION WHILE PRESIDENT OBAMA IS SEEN AS A WEAK LEADER. PUTIN IS A RUSSIAN NATIONALIST WHO WANTS TO SEE RUSSIAN RESTORED TO ITS OLD POSITION IN THE WORLD ORDER WHILE BARACK OBAMA DOES NOT BELIEVE IN AMERICAN EXCEPTIONISM AND COULD CARE LESS IF AMERICA'S POSITION AS A WORLD LEADER DECLINES. BOTH MEN ARE SOCIALIST AT THE VERY LEAST AND PERHAPS EVEN COMMUNIST. PUTIN HOWEVER, PUTS THE INTEREST OF HIS COUNTRY FIRST, WHILE OBAMA'S IDEOLOGY TRUMPS AMERICAN NATIONALISM. 
IT WOULD APPEAR THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA IS OVER-MATCHED AND A TOTALLY UNWORTHY OPPONENT FOR THE FORMER KGB LEADER OF MOTHER RUSSIA (VLADIMIR PUTIN). BUT WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM A WIMPY EX-COMMUNITY ORGANIZER. AFTER ALL WHEN PRESIDENT PUTIN WAKES UP IN THE MORNING HE KNOWS HIS COURSE IS SET AND TRUE, WHILE BARACK OBAMA DOESN'T KNOW WHICH SIDE OF THE BED TO GET OUT OF. OUR WOULD-BE LEADER IS THE MOST WISHY-WASHY MAN TO EVER SIT IN THE OVAL OFFICE. LORD HELP US FOR THE NEXT 3 YEARS. CARTOON BY JERRY HOLBERT
