Holy sh**t, just listen to yourself. Putin is an elite, buddy.
-He is an Eisenhoweresque establishment figure. He turned against some of the elites (e.g., Berezovsky) in the early 00s. He is certainly not bought, like Romney was.
Putin is a paternal autocrat who's used his position to enrich himself and his friends at the expense of democracy and the Russian people. Eisenhower was a decorated General who won WWII and never had massive wealth. Nor did he create an oligarchy.
Come on, man, please just look at what he's doing.
