There is some truth to what you say..................
Tito of Yugoslavia and Ataturk of Turkey are 2 benevolent dictators that come to my mind...

Benevolent dictatorship is the most effective means of governing. The hard part is maintaining benevolence.
So the better question is, who is more benevolent, Putin or Obama?

I take it that means you are going to allow poverty to persist there so you can continue to suck dicks here?

For the dictator. Otherwise it's just the most efficient form of government. Benevolent dictatorship is supposed to be the best form of government, but n dictatorship is even close to 100% benevolent.

Comparatively maybe, but just ask the Kurds and Greeks about those two and you'll find plenty of unkind words about their "benevolence". Estimates are Tito alone killed half a million people in internal genocides.

Surely the greatest dictator would be the one who best avoided the people recognizing him as such--whether explicitly or otherwise. Call Putin a dictator and you might be sent to Siberia; on the other hand, Obama's race and the touchy-feely terms in which his totalitarian agenda is couched have been generally effective in keeping the D-word from crossing anybody's mind, let alone their lips. True villainy must always involve an element of deception (cf. Iago--"I am not what I am"--and Satan himself, aka "The Prince of Lies").
Obama: hands down.

I searched for a source to support this claim; but couldn't find it...I am not saying it isn't true, but if you can source it for us, all the better....until a source is cited, call me skeptic.
Thanks.

100%? I would not consider that a realistic goal. I imagine rewards would be reaped before hitting 50%, but it would be hard to measure.

The only true test of a Dictator's Power is, after all of his efforts, you choose not to see things his way, and he simply says, "put him against the wall".
I certainly do not think either of these men have that power, but I do think either would take it if given.
President Obama would be more subtle about it, but you would be just as dead.

Now that's a solution.
