Obama did not do the bad things Putin did and still does. Obama also did not return his country to a position of economic strength or to a sense of national confidence or a sense of wide spread unity or a sense of worth and pride in our principles. Obama did his best to appear unprovocational in the world, while the foreign entities where he could wield influence went up in flames. Obama began with apologies regarding America's strength in the world. During his administration, his supporters and it's media made a point of claiming any success in America was not do to it's citizens hard work. Remember, "You did not build that." The outcome of all these years is Americans being afraid to express pride in who they are, the accomplishments of the nation, and the strength of America. America has been weakened and severely divided as a result. That doesn't make Putin a good guy but with regards to leadership Putin led his people to a much better sense of self worth and accomplishment than Obama did. Just the facts jax.

Koan please practice your experiments somewhere else. The US is the first system that worked best for the most people in history. If you don't like that you are free to move somewhere that provides free-lunches.

Please note your lunch isn't free if it is paid for by the forced noblesse-oblige of indentured resident tax-payer slaves. Your acceptance of the free-lunch makes you a moocher and the person providing it a looter.

Also please note cars, planes and phones does not make one civilized or even advanced. Civilized is the act of climbing down a tree, standing upright and walking on your own two flat-feet.

noblesse-oblige
The inferred responsibility of privileged people to act with generosity and nobility toward those less privileged.

Don't you understand we are light years beyond Marx for Christ's sake. We are only about 20 years away from a human singularity. No one is thinking like Marx. No one! Unless they are brain dead. We are trying to figure out how to form welfare states (democratic socialism) that work best for everyone. We are still in an experimental stage. How in the hell can we figure out the appropriate social systems when we still don't even know what the human species is about? Marx, 1885, good lord this is 2013. We didn't even have cars, planes and phones in 1885.
