Mar 26, 2012 6:17am President Obama Asks Medvedev for ‘Space’ on Missile Defense — ‘After My Election I Have More Flexibility’
SEOUL, South Korea — At the tail end of his 90 minute meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev Monday, President Obama said that he would have “more flexibility” to deal with controversial issues such as missile defense, but incoming Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to give him “space.” The exchange was picked up by microphones as reporters were let into the room for remarks by the two leaders.
The exchange: President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space. President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you… President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility. President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.
When asked to explain what President Obama meant, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications Ben Rhodes told ABC News that there is room for the U.S. and Russia to reach an accommodation, but “there is a lot of rhetoric around this issue — there always is — in both countries. A senior administration official tells ABC News: “this is a political year in which the Russians just had an election, we’re about to have a presidential and congressional elections — this is not the kind of year in which we’re going to resolve incredibly complicated issue like this. So there’s an advantage to pulling back and letting the technical experts work on this as the president has been saying.”
A sane and reasonable mind would want to eliminate nuclear weaponry from the planet as SOON as possible.. However the modern and insane Republican Party is made up of nitwitted NNTP assholes who want WAR and are not willing to SUPPORT our President --- as he seeks to insure PEACE.

I know bud!
Then everyone can field massive armies again and nations can formally declare war on each other without the fear of a weapon that can wipe thier army off the planet.
Russia can walk in and start curb stomping all over the Europe, China can get some payback against Japan, as well as take care of those damn rebels in Taiwan.
Won't that be fun!

One surely needs 'something' when dealing with the lefty's mental disorder!! They have all but shredded the constitution by 'forcing' their 'mental disorder' on the rest of society under the guise of 'choice'...'race'....'terrorism'.....'fear'....and 'mob rule'!!
The lefty's are un-american, un-patriotic, pro-death(babies), promote socialism/facism...etc......and they have the lame stream media to spew their agenda! imho

In a thread that's about Obama discussing: “more flexibility” to deal with controversial issues such as missile defense" after an election... Bumbler's reaction is about: ~ Shredding the Constitution, ~ Forcing their 'mental disorder' on the rest of us, ~ Choice, ~ Racism, ~ Terrorism, ~ Fear & Mob Rule, ~ un-american, ~ un-patriotic, ~ pro-death(babies), ~ promote socialism/facism.

I'm curious as to what you find 'controversial' about this missile defense shield we wish to install
The problem with Obama saying and doing what he did shows a position of, not only great weakness, but of total arrogance. How does he know he's getting re-elected? This is the second time he has said this. More flexibility about what? What the hell has Russia done for us other than 'object' to everything we have put in front of the UN Security Council?
Medvedev is just a puppet of Putin. Putin is VERY dangerous and not to be screwed around with, and he sure as sh*t DOES NOT respect Obama.
