Op-Ed: Better Putin Than Hillary
Putin's actions pale before Hillary's hushed-up scandals.

They keep telling us that, despite everything, Vladimir Putin is supported by 80 percent of the Russian population.
No doubt the 20 percent are in Siberia.
Putin’s big numbers are what you’d expect from a more or less totalitarian regime. But hold on.
The Jewish vote for Obama, the first time around, came to 86 percent. We are talking about the United States of America. We have no Siberia.
We do have useful idiots.
The second time, Jewish voters in America saw the writing on the wall and it was not Hebrew.
So they decided to teach Obama a lesson but the same number still went to the polls in favor of Obama, only this time, taking tips from the Wise Men of Chelm, they drove more slowly. American Jewish voters disprove the maxim that you cannot fool all the people all the time.
The Black vote for Obama, first time, was 98.9 percent. Those are Kim Jong-un numbers.
Four years later and this time, seeing that Obama was no miracle worker, the African American vote plunged to 98.8 percent.
All things considered, we are Americans but we vote like Russians. All in for one guy. We vote like cattle at round-up time.
Parenthetically, Putin, according to all the evidence, is no anti-Semite. He tolerates no Jew hatred in Russia, counts Lubavitch leaders as his friends, gets emotional when talk turns to his Jewish teacher Mina Berliner and his Jewish coach Anatoly Rakhlin, Putin’s “second father,” whose death moved Putin to tears.
His backtracking on the S-300 Surface-to-Air Missile System for Iran suggests (to me) that openly or secretly he admires the spunky Jewish State, which contains a large number of Russian Jews who still think fondly back to the old Motherland. The feelings may well be mutual so far as Putin is concerned.
Moving on -- I used to think the Israelis had a cockeyed system for choosing their leaders. They vote for parties rather than individuals and then it all gets sorted out. There could be dozens of different parties to choose from and it sounds chaotic, but at least there are multiple choices.
In America we have two parties and we are stuck with whatever they want to give us.
This time the Democrats have chosen Hillary Clinton to be our glorious leader. Out of a population of 320 million, apparently this is the best there is.
Hillary is running – without competition from within her own Party -- because no matter how unqualified and corrupt, it is time, they tell us, for a woman to be president, and the woman must be named Clinton. Yes, she is crushed by scandals galore, but shut up, they tell us, we know what’s good for you.
We gave you Obama, didn’t we?
The latest scandal is a whopper and it is all over the front pages, about her raking in multimillions from overseas donors even while she was Secretary of State.
Her loyalists are untroubled by this. Did she prostitute her office? Who cares?
But back in 1958, President Eisenhower’s Chief of Staff Sherman Adams was forced to resign in disgrace for accepting a vicuna coat as a gift
This is not your father’s America.
Now read this for everything the news media won’t tell you about Hillary and the whores and schnorrers who run our world and our lives.
On Israel, Hillary is Obama Part II. She has referred to the Jewish State as an “occupying force.” Jewish voters along with all other Democrats will vote for her no matter that from day one she runs as damaged goods. Pray for a Republican, any Republican, even Vladimir Putin, who is far more trustworthy for Israel and even for America.
