President Obama is getting a little spanking from Russia.
Just before meeting with Obama, Putin communicates with and thanks President Bush for his grace, hospitality, and understanding... this after sending Obama a not so subtle message that he feels pretty sure that he knows where his feet are and doesn't need Obama lecturing him on the current state of nations.
Our president is finding that not every one in the world bows when he speaks?
Putin Praises Bush
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin praised the hospitality and openness of U.S. former President George W. Bush in a telegramme sent hours before meeting his successor Barack Obama.
"During the last years we have been working on strengthening Russia-U.S. cooperation. Although there were differences between our countries, I always valued your openness and sincerity," Putin said, congratulating Bush on his 63rd birthday on July 6.
"With special warmth I recall your hospitality in the Crawford ranch and your family estate in Kennebunkport," Putin wrote, referring to their 2007 meeting at the Bush family vacation home when the two leaders went fishing and ate lobster.
Putin rebukes Obama
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Friday rejected U.S. President Barack Obama's charge that he was mired in Cold War thinking, setting the scene for a stormy first meeting at a Moscow summit next week.
In a pre-trip interview, the U.S. leader told the Associated Press that Putin needed to "understand that the Cold War approach to U.S.-Russian relationship is outdated" and that Putin had "one foot in the old ways of doing business."
Putin -- who once described the collapse of the Soviet Union as "the greatest geo-political catastrophe of the century" -- hit back, saying Russians were standing firmly on both feet.

Our prezz should think about what he says before he attacks mighty world leaders, man that looks arrogant written on paper describing Putin as stuck in the cold war....there are ways to get respect and not bash someone.
