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.
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."

Just another oopsie to hurry up and explain away. He didn't really mean it the way he meant it, ya know.
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.
