What? We should want a strong Obama?

Here’s something that should surprise no one.

A recent poll indicates that a majority of Americans think Putin is a stronger leader than Obama:

Maybe it is the photos of him posing shirtless on horseback, or his military push into Ukraine, but Americans in a new poll believe Russian President Vladimir Putin is a much stronger leader than President Obama.

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.

For that one thing at least, we should be grateful. His weakness is what keeps Obama from getting ever more tyrannical things done. Like gun control, or doing whatever he might think it takes to prevent Global Warming.

And why would anyone be surprised that Putin is stronger? Of course Putin is stronger. He is a dictator, and Russians love dictators. You might almost think that Americans want a dictator.

I am reminded of a political compass test I saw yesterday.

I hope Obama stays weak. The weaker the better.

    Here’s how I’ve seen Obama since he became POTUS. Almost every action, or inaction, he has taken or not taken has led to diminishing what is left of the strength of this nation. Now, this can be viewed as weakness or strength, depending on one’s expectations for Obama’s presidency. Frankly, since I see Obama as a marxist, his term has served that ideology well in increasing the power of the United States government over its people domestically, and reducing the influence of our republic in foreign affairs, the latter effectively shifting more influence to our traditional enemies of freedom.

    While Obama is certainly weak on the international stage, by design I think.
    I think he thinks that America should not be meddling in other places, he does not understand the lesson we learned in 1941.

    But.,,,,

    He’s also greatly expanded the power of the office of POTUS.

    Look at what he’s done all while ignoring all laws, the Constitution, the truth and common decency.

    I don’t see how what he’s done could be worse.

    Arguably more than any other president in modern history, he’s using executive actions, primarily orders, to bypass or pressure a Congress where the opposition Republicans can block any proposal.

    He’s siccing the EPA on all and sundry, even used the freaking Coast Guard to intimidate a Wash Times journalist who wouldn’t shut up.

    We have a Chicago-machine politician running our gov’t the way Daley or Capone would.

    Finally a conservative intellectual speaks the god-awful truth about Putin.

    While Vladimir Putin, Stalin’s spawn, ponders what to do with what remains of Ukraine, remember: Years before the January 1942 Wannsee Conference, at which the Nazis embarked on industrialized genocide, Stalin deliberately inflicted genocidal starvation on Ukraine.

    It’s the hardest hitting piece he’s ever written. Please, read it.
