Obama on Flexibility with Putin: Its Hard to Negotiate Additional Treaties When I'm Off Campaigning

President Barack Obama said the reason he told Russia’s Dimitry Medvedev back in March--more than seven months before this year's presidential election--that he would have “more flexibility” after the election to work with Russian leader Vladimir Putin was because he was too busy campaigning and doing other "stuff."

“The discussion there very much just had to do with the fact that it’s hard to negotiate additional treaties when I’m off campaigning and doing all kinds of stuff,” Obama said on Friday, explaining his open-mic comments with then-Russian President Dmitry Medvedev earlier this year.

The president’s latest comments came during an interview with News 4 KRNV in Reno, Nevada in which the questions were sent in from audience members.

Yeah. Right. There are about 46% of Americans, sad to say, who’ll believe any such bullshit you throw out. Of course, they’re idiots.

That’s the thing about the state of my country that truly disturbs me the most, when all is said and done.

Nearly half of a once-great country will buy such bullshit from a Muslim Socialist.

Obama did not say he was too busy or didn’t have enough time. He said that he would have “more flexibility” after the election. That is entirely inconsistent with his cover story. It is consistent, however, with an attempt to delay an action which would be unpopular with the American people until after they voted.

The man is utterly contemptible; a liar, shameless, uneducated, crass, crude, and vulgar.

What an embarrassment to our nation.

If you’re too damn busy marketing your lies, to actually attend to your responsibilities, then you’ve already disqualified yourself.

Imagine spending January through November telling everyone in your office, what wonderful plans you have for December....and the expecting to be rewarded in January....

he was too busy campaigning and doing other "stuff." """....

How Presidential!!/s

Vocabulary as this is not presidential.

"STUFF"?. How juvenile. and He has never stopped campaigning since 2008.

As much as I dislike Slick Willie, he would at least term it as "I am doing the business of the American People", that is a term I was disgusted with, but it sounds better than, "doing other STUFF".

Well at least he didn’t call Russia “our number one geopolitical enemy.” Even if you think it, you don’t say it if you expect to negotiate anything useful.

And apparently that extends to protecting the lives of 4 Americans.

This guy can’t chew gum and walk at the same time.

Ditto. Sadly.

"What an embarrassment to our nation."

Which will be compounded if he is reelected.
