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:

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.

This administration doesn't look into Putin's soul. Instead, it offers him post-election "flexibility."

Obama was not looking at Putin's soul, because he was too busy checking out Putin's package. IMO

Hey Obama! My eyes are up here.
