There is a video.

Medvedev graciously says he will transmit this "message" to Putin.

I wonder if the president can TELL the American people what he has in mind?
I suppose he meant that now before the election he has to play the tough, nationalist guy in order to appeal to the voting mob back home (the same thing Putin and many other leaders do before elections by the way).
After the election he can negotiate a solution with the Russians, who are in my opinion right when they consider NATO's missile defense plans unacceptable.

Essentially every single component of the political agenda he was originally elected for. As we saw with Healthcare reform, the Republicans are willing to reject and attack even their own ideas if they are also supported by this President. They are willing to scuttle the economy if they believe it might help them defeat him this fall.

Freed of the need to worry about reelection, he can be more aggressive in essentially everything he does, from letting the Bush tax cuts expire to negotiating arms agreements.

This is obvious. What about it confuses you?

He still won't have the authority to do anything without the approval of the Congress. Barry will be a "lame duck" and ignored from Day 1. He will have sit in the corner with a grape soda and sign what the Congress sends him.

Nothing about it confuses me. I wanted to hear you come forth and proclaim that you support every aspect of Barack Obama's agenda....even if that means making a deal with the Russian Devil. I always knew that Democrats were pacifists. Thank you for wholeheartedly confirming that you never intend to question Barack Obama's policies. You came through as magnificently as expected.

I'm sure your undying and unquestioned support for Barack Obama is much appreciated.

SLEEPER CELL!

He speaks as if his selection process is already in the bag, and that he has to biden his time before the next phase of destruction begins.

Not with the NDA Act and revised improved Patriot Act.

Russian devil?! You are somehow stuck in the past it seems. Russia is not more of a devil then the US is. Both are countries ruthlessly ignoring other countries' interests.

Now is not a time to be lulled to sleep. Russia and the US are the Evil empires of the world.
