Well, Obama just gave the RW their reply to "Etch-a-sketch." I understand what he means, good grief, look at the crap that got thrown around with the START treaty. But still... now they will fill in the blanks with whatever lurid fantasies their imaginations can conjure. And believe me they have plenty of fantasies that are demonstrably false but they maintain them anyway. When confronted with Snopes' documentation about falsehoods that they spread, they reply by saying that Snopes has become a left wing mouthpiece ever since Obama was elected, lol. This election just got a lot more repulsive.

President Obama got caught in private conversation with a hot mic today in Seoul, South Korea, telling outgoing Russian president Dmitry Medvedev that Vladimir Putin should give him more "space" and that "[a]fter my election I have more flexibility."

Jake Tapper has 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, and I stand with you."
