When George W. Bush first met Vladimir Putin in 2001, Bush said that he “got sense of [Putin’s] soul.”
As one “senior administration official” is quoted as demonstrating, no situation is ever too dire to avoid taking a swipe at George W. Bush:
Asked if Putin is listening, sr admin official: "We in this administration have not made it a practice to look into Vladimir Putin's soul."

SAO w/ a Bush burn: "We in this administration have made a practice of not looking into Vladmir Putin’s soul so I can’t speak for him."

A pitiful and juvenile shot coming from “Team Re-Set Button”:

In theory, once Hillary pressed the reset button it erased everything Bush may or may not have done w/ regards to Russia. Yet… blame Bush!

@AliABCNews really classy to attack a guy who has made it his mission not to attack them. Plus what does Bush have to do with their reset?

The comment about Putin's soul was telling. Admin officials sounding very defensive. Easy jabs at Bush not a sign of confidence, assurance.

Hows that working? RT @BBCKimGhattas: US officials says in this admin have not made it a habit to look into Putin's soul- jab at Bush admin.
