A day after the White House announced that it would scrap a planned bilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president sent well-wishes to former President George W. Bush via telegram following his heart surgery. Russian media outlets were told about it promptly, and the news quickly spread.
The move is already being seen as a veiled slap at Obama, whose frosty posture toward the Kremlin is a marked contrast from the congenial reception Putin received from the Bush administration.
'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,' a Reuters report said, 'but little is left to chance in Russian politics.' on Facebook

Veilled?
I'd like to see Putin haul off and give O'Barry a mighty Putin-backhand and knock him flat on his @$$,
I’d entertain him for a bit. We’d spend time at gun and archery range and maybe some roping.
I wonder...did obammy sen Bush a get well card? Probably not.
Alternate theory:
Obama is giving Putin everything he promised, now that he has the “flexibility” provided by the election.
The little spat between them is a nice diversion, just like the “drama” of Obama vs. Hillary at the Deomcratic convention, which turned out to be scripted for ratings purposes.
Putin no doubt vetoed Obama’s planned support for the Syrian “rebels” with a phone call. there will be plenty of other areas (mostly involving things we don’t see like intelligence “sharing”) where having the cover of a pretend icy relationship will be important.
But why would Obama support somebody as anti-gay as Putin?
Hmmm. That makes complete sense.
No. There was a story on Drudge a day or two ago pointing out that Putin had contacted Bush but Obama didn't bother to call.
“It appears that the leader of Russia would prefer dealing with a Republican President rather than a democrat one.”
No, not necessarily a Republican, but a man with gonads. He knew Bush would beat his butt if he messed with our country. There was mutual respect between them for each knew the other held power and would use it if their country was threatened.
Putin despises the weakness of a freaking Muslim, homosexual pushing, piece of bovine scatology, half white Hussein.
Spot on.
I wonder...did obammy sen Bush a get well card?
Not even a phone call. No class loser.
Putin is a commie....but he is a man who looks after the best interests of his country. Right or wrong, Putin is a great leader.
Obama is the idea new American male. He is a sissy. He is weak minded. If he ever had a thought of his own it was by accident.
.” Obamugabe has street thugs to apply rules”
Yeah. True. But he’s working on the treasury part also. He has his tricks and his ways of shuffling money and making it happen.
Does that mean Vlady miss W probably ROFL
I propose that thuggery is all he knows that “works”.
For now, yes, it works but once he gets into international thuggery, he is a rank novice and will get “played” like an unmarked deck of cards. At this point, Putin knows that Obamugabe isn’t a “made man” but an “owned man”.
I only hope to the Lord almighty that the citizenry will “wake-up” to this reality.
Putin and Bush seemed to enjoy their time together.
I never in my wildest dreams thought I would like the tyrant in charge of russia better than the would-be tyrant of the US!
We were talking about this on another thread. Isn’t it just sad? We’d prefer the polonium poisoning Putin over our own president? At least Putin is straight up who he is.
I could imagine Putin and Jay Leno riding Harley near Burbank just sayin ROFL that good one
