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.

Why doesn’t the RepublicRAT front runner incorporate this massive bit of treason into his anti-Obozo campaign?

Actually the Drudge links on this story are coming from ABC News.

I have the feeling some in the Democrat establishment are getting very, very nervous, and are exploring avenues to kick Barry to the curb.

Ah, but will the American people hear this story on ABC news this evening via television? If not; it never happened.

It's surprising that AllBS actually reported this at all.

The height of arrogance or is Obama so sure of his voter fraud machine that the outcome of the election is not in doubt. Hopefully, the Stupid Party will use this audio and video to nail this Marxist.

As bad as the audio is, the video is far worse. Obama patting Medvedev on the arm as he lets the Russians know that he will be giving them some concessions is one of the most disgusting and disturbing things I have ever seen a President do in public. If this doesn't sink Obama, nothing will. An absolute disgrace.

‘After My Election I Have More Flexibility’

Translation: After my election I will ignore Congress and do what I want.

Either that or someone was more interested in getting the scoop than kowtowing to his Master and Dear Leader and is even now getting his/her butt chewed.

The Manchurian Candidate

Obama The Illegal Alien tells the world (and US voters) that he plans to continue bending over for Russia and weakening the USA even more if he can just get re-elected, and our Obama-Butt-Slobering major media ignores it.

I notice that the ABC video leaves out this part of the transcript:

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…

Either they don't have it or they are trying to remove the context of Obama's remarks, i.e., missile defense.
