U.S. economy surges, Russian economy falters, in large part due to sanctions by the west, yet Obama's approval rating is in the dump, and Putin's approval rating is high.




Gruber was right about American voters, apparently. He forgot to mention Russian voters were stupid, too.

Washington (CNN) -- While the U.S. economy surges in 2014, posting the biggest jobs numbers in 15 years, the Russian economy is tanking straight into a recession after a bludgeon of Western sanctions.

I guess Russians are willing to suffer economically if it means getting to play empire. Seems like a lot to give up over Ukraine.

Dude, Barack Obama's approval numbers are anywhere between 44% to 48% right now. What are you even talking about?

ETA: That's near or tied with Reagan's numbers at this point in his presidency. I mean, you didn't even bother looking at the approval numbers before you posted this?

Running Russia into the ground is part of Putin's brilliant chess strategy.

That's because Russians ain't pussies. They don't give a frick about the economy. They don't need to be pampered and live luxury to survive. Here in the United States if the economy were to fall, half the country would starve, the other half would probably kill itself. Lord help us all if we ever hit a depression.

Russia is doing bad because of the price of oil via OPEC and the Saudis.

Our economy has been in the tank for 8 years, the worst recovery ever, because of a Marxist POS named Obama.

Not sanctions, fracking! Russia's economy is headed down the tubes in direct proportion to the price of oil.

What are you talking about? They elected Obama. Twice. Are you contending that was a stupid move? or just when they take CNN polls?
