#1 Traitorous narcissistic scum. It's all about him and his reelection. He throws missile defense of Americans and allies out to save his skinny ass.

THIS is s BFD

#3 Gee does this mean that you probably can't trust anything he says on this issue between now and November?

Of course that would make it just like every other issue wouldn't it?

#4 As Frank G said this is a BFD. The President is telling the Russians that he will be more willing to do something after the American people have judged his actions and determined he was worthy of re-election. What is it he would do that he must defer until after that judgement?
Obviously it is something that would be detrimental to his prospects of re-election, and hence cannot be considered beneficial to those whom he serves.
Gee, can you get any more clear evidence, out of his own mouth in an unguarded moment, of what a liar, and disingenuous man we have in the office?

#5 Does this mean, give me more time so I can get re-elected in a rigged election such as Putin had? And then this missile deal that we have can be pulled off?

Buggered by communists and a Manchurian candidate.

I agree with Frank G.

#6 Ya know, if I were a die-hard supporter of, or even more so a booster, obama I would be banging my head through a basement wall at the sheer incompetence of such a lazy and rookie mistake.

#7 I think what he means he will have a lot of time on his hands after the election when a new President takes over and if Russia needs a savior they need just ask.

#12 Personally, I'm more interested in the Bammer inference that post-2016 OWG Mighty USSA = OWG Weak USRoA may still be dealing wid VLADVEDEV-IAN RUSSIA.

* "Detrimental to his re-election" > IOW, the state of the tote US Economy leading up to November.

No US-Iran ground war = Iran will get its Nukes = POTUS Obama will likely have to "Spend Spend Spend" on GMD-TMD during his second term + NOT make any serious compromise wid Russia. IFF ANYTHING, NUCLEAR IRAN + by extension poten NUCLEAR RADICAL ISLAM/TERROR = IT'LL BE RUSSIA WHOM ACCEDE TO THE US ARGUMENT.

#13 OWG Caliphate-happy Nuke-armed Shia Iran + OWG Caliphate-happy Nuke-armed Taliban, MilTerr-controlled Pakistan + Ditto? Nuke-armed/capable? wannabe? pro-Islamist ME Muslim Govts = trouble for Moscow + Beijing.

#14 It's all about him and his reelection.

He'll push for it whether he's re-elected or a lame duck. The difference is that, if it's the latter, he'll have to shoehorn it in with the rest of his agenda he wants passed before inauguration day.

#15 nice thing about that, Pappy is the Filibuster. While he and the Dems haven't felt restrained in the past by constitutional limited powers, they would then. What I find extremely interesting is a "Pardon Pool". Perhaps I'll start one up. First on the list? Holder

#16 Question is, if nobody brings charges against Holder until after Obama leaves office, can he still be pardoned ahead of time?
