I'm surprised I haven't seen reference to this on C-D, unless I'm not going back far enough. Another OOOPS moment with an open mic. Maybe these guys should start checking the mic before they make "off the record" comments.

Obama explains Medvedev open mic incident

Obama explains Medvedev open mic incident - POLITICO.com

SEOUL -- President Barack Obama offered an extended explanation here Tuesday of the hot mic moment that caught him asking Russia's president for some "space" and "flexibility" until after November's election.

"The only way I get this stuff done is If I'm consulting with the Pentagon, with Congress, if I've got bipartisan support and frankly, the current environment is not conducive to those kinds of thoughtful consultations," Obama told reporters following a meeting with the presidents of Russia and Kazakhstan. "I think the stories you guys have been writing over the last 24 hours is pretty good evidence of that."

The sig under your username is repulsively smug and makes you instantly unlikable to most reasonable people.

Just an FYI, don't care about the story. Have a great day.

I'm not here to be liked. I figure if someone is petty enough to judge by the signature isn't interested in a healthy debate.

Here: Obama open mic with Medvedev: "I'll have more flexibility after election"

Looks like this just got bumped up.

That's a perfectly reasonable explanation (not that he needed to explain himself imo)

The whole thing is much ado about nothing.... predictably taken in the most ludicrous "evil conspiracy" direction by the Obama-haters.
