A YouGov/Economist survey of 1,000 adults interviewed March 8-10 found that 78 percent view Putin as somewhat to very strong leader. Just 45 percent see Obama the same way. Worse, more Americans, 55 percent, view Obama as a weak leader.

He was democratically elected same as Obama. At least Putin goes to his Parliament to get permission to use the military.

Great quote taken from the comments on Yahoo.
"Quit your complaining this is what Blacks, Homosexuals, Dead people and Obese College Girls voted for, the fundamental transformation to a 3rd world country."

"His" being the operative word there. He'll just call for new elections if they disobey. Being the President in Russia is being a dictator with a better title.

Putin has "little man's syndrome". Invading another country is the only way he knows how to prove his manhood. The fact is that there are no countries clamoring to become part of the Russian Federation. Being authoritarian and imposing your will makes you look powerful in a crude sort of way - like Saddam looked to Iraqis before his downfall.

You're right Putin's election was probably more honest than Obama's. There is no ACORN in Russia.

Throw some glitter on him and he's leading a pride parade. Russians have an odd sense of macho.

Big12fan: Obviously Putin is an a-hole dictator, but he's no idiot. He's taking advantage of a good opportunity.

Obama should have been on a Unicorn while wearing the skinny jeans.

Its about the method. He lacks the ability to entice otherwise. How else was he to acquire Crimea? He has to rely on force and propaganda because he has nothing else to offer.
