Similarities between Putin and Obama

Since President Obama has shown extreme weakness in addressing international incidents, particularly in all the Middle East conflicts where Red Lines have been crossed almost daily, President Putin believes he can do whatever he wants and not have to worry about any real threatening response.  That is why he is helping Iran with nuclear development,  Assad in Syria and went into Crimea with only rhetoric from our president.  So, every time Putin can stop laughing, he moves his undercover troops into Ukraine to create unrest and eventually use the ruse that he must protect the ethnic Russians in these countries so he will send his troops into Ukraine.   

Now the similarity is how President Obama deals with issues at home.  He believes with the spineless republican leaders in both houses of congress, he can issue executive orders and ignore the constitution since he will only receive the usual Boehner/McConnell rhetoric, but nothing else.  Nothing to fear here.  Just like Putin sees inaction in the Middle east and Ukraine, President Obama sees he has nothing to fear whether it is the allegations of corruption throughout all the government agencies or ignoring the constitution.  Just move along, nothing to see here.  Putin learned quickly on how weak his opposition is and President Obama has done the same here.  Of course, if the clueless voters remain clueless, we will see more of this throughout his term.
