During what he apparently thought was a private huddle with his Russian counterpart at a nuclear summit meeting in Seoul, South Korea, President Barack Obama was caught in a hot-mic moment, giving Dmitry Medvedev an election-year pointer on the delicate subject of missile defense. —KA

These comments and the media storm created about it are an utter non-event. At worst they are Obama’s Etch-a-sketch moment.
Realistically they are just Obama saying that Putin should not make a stink over the missiles during the coming 6 months unless he wants to increase the chances of the next president of the USA being named Romney.
As far as relevance goes it scores right up (or down, depending how you look at it) with the outcry over Obama not thanking god in his thanksgivings speech (which he then turned out to actually have mentioned in his actual speech, plus hardly being the first president not doing so (including both Bushes and even god’s replacement on earth, Reagan).
There really are more important things to get upset about than this.

The crazy thing is that if the Republicans get in we will have three wars lined up and ready to go.
And they will attack Social Security and Medicare with a fever - not to end them but to reduce the payouts and increase the collections.
Those things are a given.
Not sure whether the Democrats will do same or not.
For four years now I have asked about getting together and forming a Coalition of Independents, the only viable plan to unseat our unethical, immoral, corrupt Government.
But no takers. Is there some insanity infecting our voters?

@ William
It is most likely not a question of if.
When he gets re-elected, I anticipate he will call a press conference and explain that what he is about to do is in fact the reasonable course of action sighting some sort of committee or other, and remind us that there really is no other choice if we want to preserve whatever blah blah blah.
Then he will take his pants down, perform a squat, and shit all over Social Security as we know it.
Congress and pundits will applaud loudly and hail it as a momentous occasion. Chris Matthews will personally eat the shit and lick his lips for more.

“This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.” This statement defines the danger of term limits and of electing a lame duck. All politicians are opportunists. Take away that opportunism and they are dangerous. Obama is saving his most unpopular moves for his second term because he can’t run again and has nothing to lose. Think Social Security. What are our alternatives? We surely don’t want the wolf without the sheep’s clothes, after all, we need some “space” for illusion and the Repugs are really worse. I wish we had a strong, progressive independent candidate.

European Missile defense is a blatant fraud. The small SM-3 missiles we are deploying haven’t half the range needed to hit high arcing missiles from Russia or Iran. There is an expose about this at G2mil.com, but no one seems to care.

What is sad is that Obama is no different than the
Report thispeople who he will campaign against. Just the names are
different. He was able to rally up many Americans
because people actually thought he stood for change. Unfortunately when you reach that level of power and
politics the “people” no longer are your concern. He is
only worried about getting reelected and then who gives
a damn what he does? He will be replaced 4 years from
now. By a republican? By another democrat? it doesn’t
matter they both play to big money and big money plays
with power.
