Oh, man. You'd think after Joe Biden's "big fucking deal," President Obama would be a little warier around microphones. The press pool overheard him telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to ask Vladimir Putin for some space on missile defense until the elections are over.
Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it's important for him to give me space.
Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you...
Obama: This is my last election…After my election I have more flexibility.
Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.
The Republican blogs are about to have a field day with this.
