Limited choices compelled me to vote for the positive. In reality I'm at a loss. On one hand Obama seems a weiner (Gitmo open, national failures), on the other he seems to be doing some things right in the Near East (Iran) and in Cuba (we can visit China but not Cuba, why?). Likewise, Putin seems to be doing some things right (Syria), but he was a KGB colonel. Tough read for me. Obama seems to be a national failure, but may be remembered for foreign success, while Putin is inexplicable to me.
