Putin love

When Putin co-pilots a plane to dump water on wildfires, Freepers get on his jock:

La Lydia is pretty excited:

What a man! What a guy! You might disagree with some of his policy goals, and methods, but you have to admit he is not a girly man like someone who shall remain nameless.

Noamie pays him the ultimate complement:

Putin is ... kind of like an Atlas Shrugged character... except for his innate evilness...

RS_Rider remembers how manly Regan was:

The roles are reversed.
The Russian people admired Regan because he was patriotic and unapologetic.
Now the US people have to look to Russia to see a leader.

What a shame.

ArrogantBustard knows Obama couldn't pull this off cause he's too girly to sit in a cockpit:

I’m not sure whether this is leadership or publicity stunt.

I’ll concede that Putin can pull it off without looking ridiculous. Zero would look like a punk kid, such a stunt on his part (if he even had the guts to try) would be met with howls of derision.

ottbmare also harps on Obama's lack of manliness:

The symbolism here is so obvious I have to refrain from commenting on it directly.

Why can’t WE have a man for a president? It doesn’t even have to be an actual functioning male. Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir were both tough. A lot tougher than that whining little limpwristed girl we have in the Oval Office now.

Taffini:

I’m gonna’ start cryin’

Where are the men? look at all of them. Rahm, Gibbs, Guietner...Metrosexuals or something
