Wink wink, nod nod.

Today CNN reported that an open microphone caught the following exchange between President Obama and President Medvedev of Russia. 

"In a private conversation about the planned U.S.-led NATO missile defense system in Europe, President Barack Obama asked outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for space on the issue.
'This is my last election,' Obama told Medvedev. 'After my election I have more flexibility.'"  Medvedev replied, "'I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir,' Medvedev said, referring to incoming President Vladimir Putin."  Wink wink, nod nod!

This is what we allow to pass for governance in this country.  This is clearly an example where the self-serving interests of the President trump the interests of the Nation.  He is more concerned about his re-election than he is about doing his job.  Isn't one of the primary jobs of the President national security?  However, he would rather tackle the issue after he is re-elected because then he will have more "flexibility," wink wink, nod nod.
