Putin's role model: FDR

Putin has routinely invoked FDR as his role model. "Roosevelt laid out his plan for the country's development for decades in advance," he gushed at a news conference last fall. "At the end of the day, it turned out that the implementation of that plan benefited ordinary citizens and the elites and eventually brought the United States to the position it is in today."

And Bush never invoked Jesus:

Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

Come on, what did you expect, Stalin? Ivan the Terrible? Catherine the Great?

Still, FDR was even more popular than Putin. FDR won 98% one time in South Carolina.
