Hey, I have many Russian friends that I have made over several decades and through Amateur Radio. I respect them and some of them are as close to me as brothers. A few moved here and to Canada after the Soviet Union collapsed. You sound a bit like Chekov on Star Trek I. :-)
What I said is the truth. We are special people pal... we always have been. We are special because of how we decided long ago to live together and under what kind of system that would govern us. Our first coinage had on it “Mind your own business”. The problems that we have today are caused by an out of control federal government that has grown too large and too powerful and violates the tenets under which we were founded. We will return our republic to its righteous path.
You show me any document that is as touched by GOD HIMSELF as our Constitution is. Yes the Russian people have made many accomplishments and if they had not had the iron boot of stalin on their necks, there is no limit to what they could have done.
WE are not always talking about how special we are... PUTIN BROUGHT IT UP and I pointed out that Putin does no know why we are exceptional. He got it wrong in his ny slimes editorial. obama is not exceptional... our federal government is not exceptional... they have grown evil and corrupt and are trying to morph into what the Russians threw off through their revolution. Conservatives are trying to reverse that trend and return our country to it Foundational Principles.
I think that if you read my post again, I make several respectful remarks to the Russian people. I wish we were allied in many efforts including a manned mission to Mars and the eradication of radical islam and terrorism. We should have backed the Russians in Chechnya... we should work with them to turn them away from iran and to stabilize the ME.
As far as my message to Putin... it was an olive branch but a warning to not think that America’s best days are behind us. Look at the million plus individual Americans that showed up in DC this week... no organization... no formal group... no one financing and paying them... that is an example of American Exceptionalism. Show me where the citizens of any other country have done the same and did it without a single incident of violence or destruction.

Everyone with an IQ above 80 realizes that Obama was played. 
"Does the Putin thingy mean I can get back to playing golf?"
===============================================
Mmmmmm......I keep having wonderful daydreams, trying to guess who, among his sycophants, Obama lacerated for the debacle.
Was it Pelosi---who talked up Obama's "strength"? David Axelrod (now at CBS---egging on Ohaha in a sap-happy tweet to media). The Black Caucus suck-up? Susan no-brain Rice's "advice"?.... Maybe Dragon Lady Valerie? Jay Carney? Crazy Joe Biden? Brain-dead John Kerry?
I'm guessing it was greedy Michele.
"Forget the new diamonds and the Vineyard house, Michele.
Our war profits went kaput when that dam Putin weighed in."
