Because some people, like the OP, insist on making this partisan issue by including this in their post:
Especially considering it's a lie to begin with.
Seems Boston was bigger than what people think it is currently odd the the Potus would be thanking Putin, and not the men and women of Boston who have worked so diligently this evening, and for the past week.
President Barack Obama spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin Friday evening and thanked the Russian leader for unspecified cooperation in the investigation into the Boston Marathon bombings
National Security Staff Spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden told The Cable the White House won't say what kind of cooperation the Russians provided.
So you're accusing Obama of not thanking the men and women working to hunt down these culprits? You're saying that not once did he thank the police men and women, the agents, working out there?
Answer was this a lie?
Seems Boston was bigger than what people think it is currently odd the the Potus would be thanking Putin, and not the men and women of Boston who have worked so diligently this evening, and for the past week.
And that's the spirit you've displayed in recent days. When doctors and nurses, police and firefighters and EMTs and guardsmen run towards explosions to treat the wounded, that's discipline. When exhausted runners, including our troops and veterans, who never expected to see such carnage on the streets back home, become first responders themselves, tending to the injured, that's real power. When Bostonians carry victims in their arms, deliver water and blankets, line up to give blood, open their homes to total strangers, give them rides back to reunite with their families, that's love.
Boston police, firefighters, and first responders as well as the National Guard responded heroically, and continue to do so as we speak. It’s a reminder that so many Americans serve and sacrifice on our behalf every single day, without regard to their own safety, in dangerous and difficult circumstances. And we salute all those who assisted in responding so quickly and professionally to this tragedy.
So did Obama thank Putin and not the men and women working hard and risking their lives to hunt down these culprits
Do you even try to tell the truth anymore?
And you make another complaint that he took too long to come out with a speech after the second culprit is caught.
A 'whole' two hours,
. First this lie from you, and then another post. Can you just take a break from your anti-Obama rhetoric in one thread for once?
It's not all about Obama hmmk?

What?
Obama thanks Putin for "help" in Boston?
So they helped out with the identification and/or location of the two?

When doctors and nurses, police and firefighters and EMTs and Guardsmen run towards explosions to treat the wounded -- that’s discipline.
When exhausted runners, including our troops and veterans -- who never expected to see such carnage on the streets back home -- become first responders themselves, tending to the injured -- that’s real power.
When Bostonians carry victims in their arms, deliver water and blankets, line up to give blood, open their homes to total strangers, give them rides back to reunite with their families -- that’s love.

FBI interviewed Boston bombing suspect in 2011: source Email Share 0 Reuters 8:22 p.m. EDT, April 19, 2013 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI in 2011 interviewed the elder of the two brothers who are suspects in Monday's deadly Boston Marathon bombings, acting at the request of an unidentified foreign government, a U.S. law enforcement source said on Friday. The FBI's dealings with Tamerlan Tsarnaev - who died overnight in a shootout with police - did not produce any "derogatory" information, and the matter was put "to bed," said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity. Topics FBI The revelation is the first indication that Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother, Dzhokhar, were known to U.S. security officials prior to Monday's bombings, U.S. authorities said.
Will Wikileaks tell us who said these guys were terrorist in 2011? Was it Russia calling them terrorist then when the Republicans found out they said the guy is with with us he is part of the Chechnya Rebels who were sponsored by the US to fight the Soviet Union? Just like Osama Bin Laden. And they are doing the same thing right now with MEK. The Iranian group that hates Iran and moved to Iraq and attacked the Kurds with chemical weapons for Saddam.

Chechen Terrorists and the Neocons April 19, 2013 The revelation that the family of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings was from Chechnya prompted new speculation about the attack as Islamic terrorism. Less discussed was the history of U.S. neocons supporting Chechen terrorists as a strategy to weaken Russia, as ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley recalls. By Coleen Rowley I almost choked on my coffee listening to neoconservative Rudy Giuliani pompously claim on national TV that he was surprised about any Chechens being responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings because he’s never seen any indication that Chechen extremists harbored animosity toward the U.S.; Guiliani thought they were only focused on Russia. Giuliani knows full well how the Chechen “terrorists” proved useful to the U.S. in keeping pressure on the Russians, much as the Afghan mujahedeen were used in the anti-Soviet war in Afghanistan from 1980 to 1989. In fact, many neocons signed up as Chechnya’s “friends,” including former CIA Director James Woolsey. Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. For instance, see this 2004 article in the UK Guardian, entitled, “The Chechens’ American friends: The Washington neocons’ commitment to the war on terror evaporates in Chechnya, whose cause they have made their own.”

It's not uncommon for one country to thank another in helping to apprehend a criminal. I really don't see the problem here. - Lee
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert joined forces on Thursday with a leading Kazakh industrialist and an Israeli entrepreneur to launch a new high-tech venture. In an interview with The Associated Press, Olmert said he would serve as chairman of the advisory board of Genesis Angels − a venture capital firm focusing on early stage investment in startup companies. The firm looks toward innovations in robotics, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and other cutting edge technologies. Olmert, who was prime minister from 2006-2009, refused to speculate about his future political plans, but he said the foray into high-tech meshed with his vision of promoting Israel as a high-tech powerhouse.
