Obama is a lame duck. No longer useful to the Russians. He is a useless idiot now. Just like the Watermelons pushing Global Warming. The Russkies started it, used the movement to curtail Western oil production, and then pulled the carpet from underneath the idiots legs with the climate gate email hack. That is the way the Russians roll.
This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility. That statement tells us much about the presidents mindset.
The specific mention of missile defense is worrisome enough. Mr. Obama has retreated from the missile defense plan that was negotiated with European allies during the George W. Bush administration. Apparently, he is signaling Moscow that he intends to retreat further. The clear implication from the presidents comments is that he cannot tell the American people before the election what he plans to do after the election.
In addition, there is the phrase on all these issues, implying more is at stake than just missile defense.

When it comes to keeping America safe, we shouldnt be too flexible:

I seriously suspect there's more going on there than meets the eye. Obama and Putin are indeed in bed together. Both (Chavez and the ChiComs, too) seek a "new world order", with them all being stronger and the US being (substantially) weaker. The Russians are masters of deception. They play 3D chess while most of us, unfortunately, suck at simple checkers.
