President Obama in an interview Sunday hit back at Russian President Vladimir Putin, who recently dismissed the idea of American “exceptionalism” and criticized Obama’s threat to use military force in Syria.

“I don’t think that Mr. Putin has the same values that we do,” Obama said in an interview that aired Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” “And I think obviously, by protecting Mr. Assad, he has a different attitude about the Assad regime. But what I’ve also said to him directly is that we both have an interest in preventing chaos; we both have an interest in preventing terrorism; the situation in Syria right now is untenable.”
