Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a telegram on Thursday to his old sparring partner, former U.S. President George W. Bush, wishing him a quick recovery from heart surgery.
It may have been coincidence that the Kremlin released details of the telegram a day after Barack Obama pulled out of a planned summit with Putin, but little is left to chance in Russian politics.
The warm words to the man who once said he looked Putin in the eye and got a "sense of his soul" highlighted how different the relationship is between the leaders in the Kremlin and the White House now.

How bad is it when AMERICANS find something to like, and prefer, a lifetime Communist KGB man, to what is in the Whitehouse! When our political enemies start looking good in comparison to our own leaders we have admitted the bigger enemy is right here. For the love of G-d, somebody stand up and lead/unite us to save this country!
It’s very simple really.
Putin loves his Country, Obama doesn’t love ours.
Out of the two, Putin is the Patriot.
Agree. He at least respected Bush as a leader and important global player. Obama’s basically a pop-culture creation...a sham... and everyone knows it.
Crazy, isn’t it. I find myself perplexed that at moments like this I secretly root for guys like Putnin.
Bush and Putin - 2 men
Obama and Putin - 1 child and 1 man
That is all the difference you need to understand..
A sham that the corrupt MSM covers and lies for in their ongoing effort to deceive the American public. The corrupt MSM excoriated Bush day after day, but they fiercely love and protect Obama the proven failure and incompetent.
You can believe what you want, but I wouldn't classify myself as a "Bush fanatic". I liked Bush, but not everything he did. (The bail outs come to mind.)
But you'd have to be ignorant of history not to acknowledge that Reagan made a mistake on not insisting the border be secured BEFORE amnesty was passed.
Or maybe just a Reagan fanatic. ;)
I think you nailed it exactly right.
Obama blames Bush and the Bush fanatics blame Reagan....
Of course Reagan made a mistake regarding amnesty...You’d think people like Bush would have learned from that many years later...
But the fact is, Bush never had any intention of protecting or securing our borders...
No?
Or are you just a Bush fan....(fanatic)
Thanks much for posting. Bush got it right. And I thank God that he was President on 9-11.
Thanks for the quote in proper context. Bds is still alive and well on Free Republic.
Knee jerk - My knee jerk opinion of GWB 20 years ago was, this guy’s ok. After watching and thinking about him for 20 years my considered opinion about him is - putz.
I am sure he is disgusted with Obama.
To Putin, Obama is nothing more than a useful idiot who will further the Soviets goal of world domination. The problem Putin has is Obama also a useful idiot to Islamofacism which also has goals of world domination. The other problem Putin has is Obama is a useful idiot to the Agenda 21 initiative, whose goal it is to also dominate the world.
What all three ideologies have in common is they need to destroy the US and the only thing that is stopping them is the 2nd amendment. The latest attack on the US was the NSA. Basically our command and control for electronic espionage had been disrupted.
Funny thing about all of this is everyone needed a patsy. Someone who would be protected from personal attacks, who could give a good speech yet was dumb as a bag of hammers.
Obama is the Manchurian Candidate on steroids.
Security experts from around the country expected our borders to be very secure on 9/12....They never were...
In fact several years later, during wartime, millions of illegal aliens were so embolden by Bush, there marched though our cities and towns, pushing foreign flags in our faces while making demands and threats.
Dallas Texas 2006...500,000 illegals march through downtown Dallas making demands and threats. All this while Bush celebrated Cinco De Mayo up in the White House.
In fact, AFTER 9/11 Bush allowed in more Muslims into the U.S., than the previous two decades
Putin ought to offer a trade, Snowden for Soros.
I’d be very glad not meeting with barry
Apparently DU is not the only place where you find ignorance in abundance!
These marches have been going on for years....way before Bush ad 9-11. You’re an obvious bush basher. Have a nice day.
