Of course that does beg the question: why did Putin warn Soetoro about the Boston Marathon bombing?
**********
Three possible reasons: The threat posed by the brothers was of no real significant geopolitical interest to Putin, the warning helped cast him in a benevolent light, and it was a quid pro quo with U.S. pertaining to the useful exchange of info on terrorism. Aside from that, Putin has much bigger plans that transcend the bombing IMO and has Obama where he wants him.
KGB trumps community organizer every time.

You can take that to the bank. Good post.
he doesnt deserve to be compared to Obama

Why not? Both were leaders of their respective countries, neither had experience in foreign affairs, they favored policies of appeasement, and weakened their country’s defense capability. Neither was suitable to deal realistically with a dangerous world.
Sufficient parallels from a historical perspective to serve as a basis for a comparison.

I thought it was a par four but after reaching across the the aisle in a bipartisan attempt to resolve the crisis my colleagues agreed it was a par two. Let me be clear.
