Republicans Criticize Obama for Talking to Putin

“…The perception that Obama has rolled out the red carpet for Putin is a key part of Republican candidates’ complaints about current U.S. foreign policy, as Jeb Bush noted on Twitter: “Obama allows Russia & Iran more influence in Syria & Iraq. Not good for US, Israel, or our moderate Muslim partners “

Well that changed seemingly overnight.

But not really. Putin has something of a cult following amongst many conservatives.
