Obama slips up to the Russian President

   Joelipooposted 12 years ago

   Did anyone hear President Obama mention how he cannot wait to be reelected because "after my election, I will have more flexibility"?  He said this to the Russian President when he might have though the mics were off.  I think Obama needs to answer for this.  Did he mean that he can be more radical once he doesn't have to care about being reelected?  Does he think he will be able to do whatever he wants if he gets elected to a second term?

      So? Candidates always use the term, "...when I'm elected (or reelected)...." all the time.

         The goal of every first-term president is to get a second term.
         
         If Obama gets what he hopes will be his second term, he'll feel free to screw up the country even more than he already has.
         
         God help us if he gets that chance.

      I guess he just had a Joe Biden moment.
      Surely he wouldn't intentionally actually be making plans with Russia behind the backs of the American people?!  Oh no not the great Obama.  How dare anyone question him, ever.  His perfectness cannot be questioned, ever. 
      
      By the way, on a common-sense note, has anyone heard if Obama's tried to 'splain this away at all?
      Or is everyone still skeered to ask him to ever explain his actions?
      
      I checked the White House website, which produced nothing on this subject.

   "A look at the pentagon budget for this upcoming year shows they have dedicated plenty of resources to financing reserve troop units inside the United States. This does not mean they are preparing to put average Americans into FEMA camps as feared by many. To the contrary, they are preparing for a mass round up of cabal agents and proxies, according to pentagon and CIA sources."

   This article states that Obama will now honour his promises to the Russians and ditch any promises he makes to the American electorate

   Simple answer is just don't re-elect him, but you might have the same problem that we do over here in the UK, which is that once they get elected they all seem to be exactly the same anyway

   Or could it be part of a Global initiative- a good one! and obviously International leaders speak to other International leaders, its kinda part of the job
   
   New Zealand is contributing $500,000 towards a US-led project to send highly enriched uranium from Uzbekistan back to Russia to be securely stored, Prime Minister John Key has announced.
   
   Mr Key is attending the Nuclear Security Summit in Korea, which aims to secure nuclear materials worldwide.
   
   "This project reinforces our support for the securing of vulnerable nuclear materials worldwide," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
   
   "We are not immune to the risks posed by nuclear terrorism."
   Mr Key says since 2004 New Zealand has committed around $6 million to global partnership projects to make nuclear material secure.
   
   (Copied from a local newspaper, I am sure other Western Countries are al part of the effort-and it will be necessary to communicate with Russia)
   
   P.S It is a big deal for NZ to be supportive ,since our country does not support nuclear powered ships in our ports)

   OH, it figures....
   
   Here's what it's all about: The START treaty with Russia!! You know--Common Sense...working towards nuclear disarmament...started by that Commie Reagan!
   
   "The Senate Republicans turned the bipartisan-backed New START treaty into a major political clash in a way that had never been done before. Given that this pack is even stronger in the Senate these days, it is no wonder that Obama would tell Medvedev that any arms control initiatives would be quite difficult to manage in the months prior to the 2012 elections. With New START, Republicans demonstrated they were willing—even eager—to politicize such issues. Kyl threatened torpedoing the treaty if the White House didn't spend billions of dollars more on the nuclear stockpile. (Though he got his money, he went ahead with this threat.) McCain and Graham denounced ratification in hyperbolic terms (while signaling their votes for a treaty governing world-destroying weapons could be procured if Obama dumped his Don't Ask/Don't Tell repeal).
   
   Obama skillfully navigated the Republican intransigence with New START. But the episode showed how hard it is for the White House to deal with the Senate GOPers on this critical front. And with Romney and other Republicans decrying Obama as a weak-kneed appeaser and apologizer—who kowtows to Russia—Obama is right to conclude that this is not a good moment to pursue the hard work of US-Russia arms control. There is indeed little political space available for this important endeavor, and the Republicans outraged about Obama's hot-mic remark are responsible for that."--David Corn
   *****
   
   Once again: Determined to ruin Obama, as they treat him like DIRT, the big baby GOP twists the truth and smears the president, who is trying to do HIS JOB.

                              I get the impression you're not too much younger than me so I have to ask where were you during the Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II administrations?
                              
                              Respect is something earned, LMC. Obama hasn't come anywhere near doing that with me and a lot of other people. So much so that if the man walked up and offered me his hand to shake, I would turn my back to him. I would have done the same with Carter and Clinton. Still would, especially with Carter. That man is an idiot. And with Clinton, God only knows where his hand's been lately.
                              
                              As for his birth certificate, at this point, it makes no difference to me. IMO, the man isn't an American in his heart or in his way of thinking so who cares where his moma was when she plopped him out.

However, my bride and I both have friends that are and were SEALs and, while NONE of them expect it, they certainly DESERVE the credit for getting the job done. That's all I want.

      It makes you a citizen, at least according to the hundreds of thousands of anchor babies plopped out by illegal south-of-the-border mamas. So it makes no difference where these guys' parents were born or even if they were legal. That is, of course, if we're going according to the Liberal Play Book.
