Repubs are big fans though. Maybe they just like to watch shirtless men wrestling bears (whichever meaning of bears)

And yet, GWB still manages to beat out Obamaā€™s disapproval ratings among Russians themselves. And for all the Putin chest-pounding morons that love this guyā€™s machismo, including so many here in the GOPā€¦Pew had this to add:

In all regions of the world, Putinā€™s image fares quite poorly compared with public perception of U.S. President Barack Obama. Three-quarters of Europeans have confidence in Obama to do the right thing in world affairs. Only 15% have such faith in Putin.

Isnā€™t it true that Republicans like Putin and his manly man boobs more than they like President Obama?

What are the comparable numbers for the US now? Itā€™s usually not very good.

Based on these poll numbers, Putin should definitely enter the Republican Presidential primary race.

Heā€™d fit right in.

Itā€™s not necessarily Russia they hate, but what Putler has made Russia represent.

But Trump will get along with Putin very well. They can drink vodka and compare notes on all the losers who criticize them.

Doubt the China and Wen are thought any better of.

True, except the Russian people had the upper hand at one time. But being uncomfortable with self-rule caved to a demagogue when things got tough.

Umm, didnā€™t you see the part about how 3/4 of the Europeans have confidence in Obama?

Yes, GOPers regularly express admiration for Putinā€™s macho, despotic tendencies. Trump just said how well he thinks he could get along with Vlad. Well, why wouldnā€™t he? He doesnā€™t believe in democracy and he takes everything for himself and his buddies, and so does Donald.
