"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."...

"No biggie, right? Scott Johnson has a plan:

The man has big plans for us — the kind of plans he won’t be sharing with the American people. Not yet.

Something tells me this next election is a big one. Let’s kill Obama’s “space” program.

Update: I think I along with others have missed the bigger question:

Why does Obama feel the President of Russia is entitled to know more about Obama’s plans than the American public?"

3/26/12, "Obama to Putin: I'll Surrender America After Re-election," Breitbart.com, Joel B. Pollak

"President Obama has repeatedly backed down on missile defense in the face of Russian demands, most famously abandoning American promises of cooperation with Poland and the Czech Republic in 2009.

Republican opponents warn that Obama will follow an even more radical course in his second term than his first, because he will no longer face the same electoral pressures that saw his party lose control of the House of Representatives in 2010."
