re: Hat's off to Putin - he knows what he is doing

So you respect Hitler for the same attitude?

Hitler was a monster of the highest order, yet he was able to convince legions of people he had a path. His ability to sway people to his twisted view does deserve some respect in the way I respect the devil because he does the same thing. Do not confuse respect with admiration.

Nope, but since Obama skips his I guess we are even on that score. I do have an understanding of people that seems to escape Obama. I mean look at the people he has associated with and has allowed to influence him and the ones he has dealt with - be it Hugo Chavez, Wright, Ayers, Putin - Obama has a problem recognizing good people from bad. Or maybe his definition is off...
