Since they say Obama is their leader.
Honestly, though, why didn't they call for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, McCain. Palin, Bachmann, Graham, Cruz, North, Kristol, Christie, Perry, Paul or the rest of their highly touted 'better than Obama' crew to go? Who did I leave off the list? And where was Putin when the French needed him? 
Few people had heard of Vladimir Putin when Russia's then-President Boris Yeltsin appointed him prime minister in 1999. But the stern-faced former KGB officer triggered a love affair with the Russian population — by starting a popular second war in Chechnya later that year. Soon after hostilities began, the man who later became president surprised the country with the first of what became known as "Putinisms." He issued a threat to Chechen rebels using slang terms usually heard only in Russia's notoriously tough prisons. "If they're in the airport," Putin said, "we'll kill them there... and excuse me, but if we find them in the toilet, we'll exterminate them in their outhouses." http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90083829 Doesn't that just warm your heart? Faux wants him in the White House. Whatever... |
