Putin Bringing Back USSR

Short and sweet. But people better pay attention.

Hey folks,

As I keep telling you, we live in dangerous times. They are getting more and more dangerous as time goes on. This is why it is so important to have a true leader in this country. One that our allies trust, and one that our enemies fear. One that understands reality. One that is resolved to the goal of bringing America back to a leadership role in the world. One that our enemies will believe will do ANYTHING they need to do to fulfill their number one job. Keep America safe and protect our allies.

As you know I have been following Putin for years. I have been telling you what he is all about. He is all about Mother Russia. He misses the cold war. He misses the USSR. He wants Russia to be the great superpower it once was. Now that he is President again, he is taking steps to bring this about. Just read the following. Short and sweet. But people better pay attention.

(Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin named seven former cabinet ministers as aides on Tuesday, in a move expected to weaken Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev's new government and shift power to the Kremlin.

Putin, in a decree issued a day after the government was formed, also confirmed loyal ally Sergei Ivanov as his chief of staff while Nikolai Patrushev stays on as secretary of the presidential Security Council.

One name missing from the list of appointments was that of Igor Sechin, Putin's energy 'tsar' in the previous government, who had been expected to maintain control over the oil industry after Putin returned to the Kremlin.

The appointments indicated Putin, who was inaugurated for a six-year presidential term on May 7 after four years as prime minister, may use his administration as a center of power separate from the government headed by Medvedev.

Among the former ministers Putin brought to the Kremlin as aides are ex-Economy Minister Elvira Nabiullina, former Health Minister Tatyana Golikova, former Natural Resources Minister Yuri Trutnev and former Transport Minister Igor Levitin.

Putin named former Interior Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev, whose term was marred by police violence, corruption and abuse scandals, as a deputy to Patrushev at the Security Council, an influential advisory body.

Romney is going to be a busy President. He has to deal with the World, AND fix all the stuff Obama messed up. It's going to a hard job. Made even harder by all the failures and missteps of Obama.
