Obama is a pathetic, small man.

Over at Moonbattery, there is a post up contrasting the respect and perhaps affection between Jorge W. Bush, and Vlad Putin, and the disrespect expressed by the small and mean little Obama, our current president.

Nearly in full:

  "Despite his disastrously liberal domestic policies, George W. Bush was at least a strong leader on the world stage. Consequently, other leaders respect him:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has wished former US President George W. Bush a speedy and complete recovery after his heart operation earlier this week, the Kremlin said Thursday.

In contrast, Putin and Obama are not on speaking terms, despite Obama’s policy toward Russia of abject capitulation.

In another contrast,

White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters that President Barack Obama was briefed on Bush’s procedure and “obviously wishes him well.” He didn’t believe Obama and Bush had spoken, Carney said.

Maybe if they wheeled his hospital gurney onto the set of the Tonight Show, W could have well wishes bestowed upon him directly by the Weenie in Chief."

So Obama has time to preen on the Tonight Show in front of Jay Leno, but he hasn't the good manners to take a minute to call former president Bush on his heart surgery. It could have easily been done from the Green Room while waiting to go on Leno. Meanwhile Putin can take the time to call from halfway around the world.  

This is simply typical of the poor manners displayed frequently by our "leader,"his lack of concern and empathy for others,  and a reason, among many, why he is not respected in any fashion overseas. 

Both Bush and Putin have severe faults, for sure, but I would take either over the America hating, smooth talking communist currently in the White House.
