"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.
There. Don't you feel better now that you know "Vladimir" is up to date on President My Little Pony's intentions?
Translated to Russian, "more flexible" means "I grab ankles."

Posted by: JD at March 26, 2012 5:43 PMEither way, as a second-termer or as a lame duck, he'll have flexibility. In the latter case he'll have to shoehorn it in with the rest of his agenda.

The only saving grace of this day is that now we have on tape the evidence carrying Barry across the tape in the "worst president EVER" race.
I never thought I'd see a day when a sitting president would collude with a dictator for domestic political ends. And sound like he knew he'd get support.
I'm a little freaked out. Not as badly as the Israelis, Poles, South Koreans, and Japanese are, but still freaked out.
