Who do you trust more? The president or Vladimir Putin?

I know he's ex KGB and would like to re-assemble the Soviet Union. But there is a certain respect about him that makes me think he's not all bad in that part of the world.

    Both are liars, both hate America, and both are intent on destroying it. The only difference is 1 is on the outside, and 1 is on the inside.

    I trust neither.

    He's a commie scumbag. It cracks me up that people who have spent the last 5+ years calling Obama a socialist have their lips planted on former KGB agent's posterior. He's been in power too long. Russia is reverting towards what it used to be.

    I never saw so many stupid answers I just read here. Putin is able to take decisive action because his parliament approves whatever he suggests. Obama has the opposite problem and it is more complicated in the U.S. But I am not sure about trust, trust to do what? I cant answer unless I know what they are supposed to be trusted to do.

    Trust a politician? I'd rather sit on a bed of hot coals for an hour while being stoned by an angry mob.... Being paid to lie and cover up must be a sweet gig if you can get it...

    Neither of them deserve the public's trust.

    As an insignificant citizen of a large country I trust neither. The trouble with Obama is that anything he says is subject to parsing, lying or misdirection. On the other hand Putin says what he means and does what he says. LOL

    Putin can be dealt with, he's nothing more than a bully that is full of himself. Obama doesn't have the balls to deal with him though.

    The President Barack Obama because he was elected by a majority of votes by the American people.

    When they vote for Vlad he gets all the votes, he's the only one on the ballot.

    I trust Putin more because he is a mad man who does what he says

    and what he says really isn't good. "Trust" is probably the wrong word

    here, maybe "afraid" would be a better word as far as Putin is concerned.

    Putin is a plutocrat and the last thing he wants to do is reassemble the Soviet Union.

    For bare chested soft core porn for conservatives, it's Putin by a mile. Otherwise it's Obama.
