I like PM, and ex-president, Putin's style of leadership. He is honest, and gets his ideas and work done. He can be respectfully assertive. I guess those years in the KGB taught him alot. Last, he has accepted the new free market system, with limited democracy. I respect and trust him. In a way, he would a good big brother.

Second try at this message, first time the system crashed. PM, former President, Putin is honest, respectfully assertive and sarcastic. He gets things done, one way or another. Last, he has also accepted free market economics and a limited democracy. The United States and other nations need a person like Vladimir Putin!

I hope prime minister putin will help bring about a safer and more honest world. He appears to have a caring quality and very strong leadership abilities. I believe he is more a doer than a talker. Lets all hope he does good things that are positive for everyone worldwide.
