Aww, c’mon, man! Can’t they give the president a break?!? He works so hard and the problems just keep coming; never a chance to bask in the glow of his “accomplishments.” Maybe he needs another vacation. You wouldn’t begrudge him that, would you?!?
Hope Vlad’s ready for another sternly worded letter.
Given what’s happening in Iraq Putin sees this as its golden opportunity.
It’s quite easy to overwhelm this “president”.
Putin must be thinking, “This is too easy”.
You'd know it. It wouldn't be three either.
Quick, somebody hashtag that!
So THIS is what obama meant:
President Obama was caught on a hot mic telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday that if given “space,” he’ll have more flexibility “after my election” for negotiations on issues like missile defense. “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space,” Obama told the Russian leader.
“Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space,” President Medvedev replied. “Space for you…”
“This is my last election,” Obama observed. “After my election I have more flexibility.”
“I understand,” responded Medvedev. “I will transmit this information to Vladimir.”
The White House responded to the leaked correspondence, saying:
If anything Russian military doesn’t operate T-64s for a couple decades.
It was a Ukrainian-build tank at the time, Ukraine still builds it and it is still in their inventory.
Obama was so angry when he heard this that he sliced his tee shot into the trees.
