GWB just wanted to say something nice. If you care to equate Obama with Bush, then why the need for a “reset” button?
Obama is literally physically frightened of Putin and Putin knows it. Obama has done everything he could to avoid being alone with Putin.
Bush was exactly the opposite. He went out of his way to speak privately with Putin and Putin respected him for it.
As far as Georgia is concerned, they was over before anyone really had a chance to react to it. Georgia also has other problems like a small but nasty population of rabid muslims.
