In wishing Bush well, Putin has message for Obama

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.

I suspect Putin had/has a level or respect for Bush

I tend to look at it as a "warrior's" respect....something Obama will NEVER qualify for.

Apparently DU is not the only place where you find ignorance in abundance!

Apparently not. ;)

Is Obama wearing a black sport coat with brown trousers?
Strike One.
Is he also wearing black socks with brown trousers?
Strike two.
And it looks like he’s wearing black shoes as well.
Sigh.

These marches have been going on for years..

BS....That's absolutely false.

Never in our history had so many millions of illegals and their supporters marched though our towns and cities waving foreign flags and threatening and making demands. All during war time yet. All embolden by Bush as he aided and abetted these epic marches, while celebrating Cinco de Mayo up in the White House

These massive, insulting marches involving *millions* of illegals, all occurred during the open border Bush years...

Bush in turn threatened Americans and called American border volunteers who'd had a belly full of this invasion, "Vigilantes"

Ya think we all forgot about this Ms. Sacajeweauu?

I’d trade Obama, Clinton and Pelosi for Putin; straight up. Hell, I’ll throw in a slightly used nuclear submarine, to boot! (USS MIAMI)

Is that Putin adjusting the electronic device on Bush’s back that tells him what to say? /s
