The Foreign Leaders Conservative Media Wish Were In Charge Here

International incidents are a prime opportunity to daydream about foreign leaders who'd make better presidents than Barack Obama, at least inside the conservative media bubble. David Cameron has now joined Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu on the right's list of foreigners they'd rather have in the Oval Office than the man the nation elected.
On August 28, President Obama delivered remarks on the U.S. military's approach to the rising terror threat from the Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) and recent developments in Ukraine. Right-wing media figures responded with disdain, accusing the president of failing to view the Islamic State as a threat and even suggesting it's understandable to think Obama sympathizes with terrorists. Yet when Cameron deliveredsimilar remarks on the Islamic State's threat to the United Kingdom the next day, the right's response was much different -- Fox News contributor Erick Erickson tweeted:

Can we borrow David Cameron? He fights.

Russian President Vladimir Putin
Right-wing media have repeatedly championed the Russian president as a leader who is superior to Obama.
In 2013, when the two heads of state supported opposing factions in the Syrian civil war, conservative outlets praised Putin as "the leader of the free world" and a "real He-Man" who demands respect, unlike the "gutless" Obama. Rush Limbaugh even appeared to take Putin's side in the conflict.
Earlier this year, when Russian forces invaded Ukraine in violation of multiple international treaties, Rudy Giuliani took to Fox News to praise Putin as "what you call a leader," in contrast to Obama. Other conservative outlets fawned over shirtless photos of the Russian leader while complaining that Obama wears "mom jeans" and is weak on foreign policy.

keep in mind this is coming from the party that claims it's Americanism and yet they want those they have said were evil and are war crazed now the Russian were suppose to be our geo-political enemy according to the guy they tried to put in the WH Romney, but now these guys that said the same words about the same subject as Pres. are fit to be Potus's or is this just an Obama bashing opt for republicans?

they want to replace your Pres. with foreign entities with war on their minds and the minds on war.  how much more American is that not!  vote for them and somehow they sneak Iran's Ahmadinejad in the WH SERIOUSLY.
