Both Putin and Obama are human beings, and they are both heads of state.
It's not clear that the two men have much in common, and they certainly do not seem to like each other very much. Perhaps the one trait they both share is self-confidence. But other than that, it is difficult to see the similarities between President Obama and President Putin. People who dislike Mr. Putin say he is a dictator and tries to repress anyone who disagrees with him. People who dislike Barack Obama say he too is a dictator, but while this is typical rhetoric for partisan Talk Shows, in reality, Mr. Obama is far from a dictator-- he has not jailed his opponents, nor has he stopped the media from criticizing him-- while Mr. Putin has done both of these things.

Are Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama alike?

No, by no means. Obama is an intellectual, a civil rights and Constitutional law attorney. Obama rose fast within US politics. Putin is also an intellectual (so perhaps one similarity), but is a former KGB operative. While little detail exists regarding his 16 years of service to the Russian secret police, it is not likely that civil rights were high on his agenda. Putin rose slowly within the adminstration of the new Russian government. Obama comes from a protected childhood and adolescent development. Putin comes from a legacy of kill or be killed.
