Republicans see Obama as more imminent threat than Putin
WASHINGTON —
A third of Republicans believe President Barack Obama poses an imminent threat to the United States, outranking concerns about Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
A Reuters/Ipsos online poll this month asked 2,809 Americans to rate how much of a threat a list of countries, organizations and individuals posed to the United States on a scale of 1 to 5, with one being no threat and 5 being an imminent threat.
The poll showed 34 percent of Republicans ranked Obama as an imminent threat, ahead of Putin (25 percent), who has been accused of aggression in the Ukraine, and Assad (23 percent). Western governments have alleged that Assad used chlorine gas and barrel bombs on his own citizens.
Given the level of polarization in American politics the results are not that surprising, said Barry Glassner, a sociologist and author of “The Culture of Fear: Why Americans are afraid of the wrong things.”

And I say that carefully. Enough b.s. has passed, they've had enough time to recognize facts from fiction, and even given the 'ownership' of msm, and dumbing down of education, people SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE their BRAINS. Repugs DON'T, and 'top' repugs like mc connell take advantage of that.
