Man to Man? Not!

There have been several - well, many - comparisons of Putin to the Kenyan regarding their leadership styles and personalities.  I think that's a fascinating study.  They both share a commonality in that they are tyrants, true, but one leads forward, the other backward.  Putin's stated goal is to restore Russia to its former power and glory as it was under the USSR.  The Kenyan on the other hand, likes to say he's "leading from behind" as he enacts his own stated goal of "transforming" the US into a limp, has-been, broke-down banana republic.  Both are doing a splendid job of achieving those goals.  But to endeavor to raise up a country is noble, even given its dubious level of democracy.  To tear one down is not only ignoble, it's evil.

To compare Putin, a man, to the Kenyan, a pantywaist, is ludicrous.  I can see why Putin rates so high in polls both here and abroad.  Whatever his politics are, and they're not in keeping with this writer, he's clearly and undeniably a man.  He's been photographed shirtless riding horses, notably strong and capable; the Kenyan's been photographed in baggy Bermuda shorts on a golf course, his weak spindly legs attesting to his lack of physicality.  Putin is a proponent of the reestablishment of Christian Orthodoxy in Russia; the Kenyan is a CINO (Christian In Name Only), attends a radical anti-American church but wears Islam on his left finger and in his heart.  Both are authors: Putin wrote a book on the history of Judo, and is an accomplished martial artist; the Kenyan wrote a pseudo-biography as an ode to the father he never really had, and his narcissism and hate turned him into a "community organizer".  The Kenyan celebrates and promotes homosexuality; Putin decries and bans it.  Putin has a mistress who is a very hot lady; the Kenyan seemingly has no interest in females.  Putin is a helicopter pilot; the Kenyan operates electric golf carts.  Putin just annexed the Crimea; the Kenyan "sanctioned" seven Russian citizens. 

Don't accuse me of being orgasmic over Putin.  I'm most certainly not.  But he is such a contrast to the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, both as a man and as a leader, that the difference is glaring and cannot be ignored.  As left wing presidents go, Roosevelt was a cripple and Carter was a wimp. The Kenyan is all that and more.  Think about it.  Side by side, notwithstanding shared political positions, which would you pick to be your leader?
