Putin defends Obama on spying, drones, Occupy

[TNF]

“At a certain point we saw the police cracking down on the Occupy Wall Street activists. I won’t call the actions of police appropriate or inappropriate,” he said. “If there are people who act outside the law, then the state must use legal means to impose law in the interests of majority. That’s the way it’s done in the U.S., and that’s the way it’s done in Russia.”

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Considering Putin's dictatorial demeanor, he probably thinks Obama hasn't cracked down enough. Putin is really more of a Bush type.

LOL!

Bipartisanship!

[H. Ross Peron]

Probably a political move to either improve Russo-American relations or a cynical Machivellian maneuver to weaken the credibility of the Obama administration at home via this endorsement.

I endorse you.

Unlike the dictator Putin, at least Obama appears to be against school uniforms:

What's with you and school uniforms?  Is that the only issue you choose your candidates on?

It's not the only issue, but it is a litmus test. I WILL NOT support candidates who favor mandatory school uniforms.

Remember when Bush looked into Putin's eyes and fell in love?

What do you mean by "mandatory"? Mandatory on a school level, a state level, national?

Mandatory at any level (unless it's a private or charter school).

You and I must have different interpretations of "legal means".

[Lief 🗽]

Generally I interpret policies that have been ratified by all three branches of the federal government as "legal means." Not sure what your definition is.

And next week:

Kim Jong-un endorses Obama!

Don't most municipalities have some sort of vagrancy/squatting laws? I know mine does and that was used as justification to remove them.

Vagrancy laws were ruled unconstitutional 50 years ago.

Obama fell in like. He's a moderate hero like that.
