From Jake Tapper:
At the tail end of his 90 minute meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev Monday, President Obama said that he would have “more flexibility” to deal with controversial issues such as missile defense, but incoming Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to give him “space.”
The exchange was picked up by microphones as reporters were let into the room for remarks by the two leaders.
The exchange:President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.
President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…
President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.
President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.
When asked to explain what President Obama meant, deputy national security adviser for strategic communications Ben Rhodes told ABC News that there is room for the U.S. and Russia to reach an accommodation, but “there is a lot of rhetoric around this issue, there always is, in both countries.
A senior administration official tells ABC News: “this is a political year in which the Russians just had an election, we’re about to have a presidential and congressional elections, this is not the kind of year in which we’re going to resolve incredibly complicated issue like this. So there’s an advantage to pulling back and letting the technical experts work on this as the president has been saying.”
Translation: After Obama is re-elected, he will not be restrained by any concern for what the American people actually think…. about much of anything. He will try to do all the things he’s held back on so far, out of concern for the election. Since he hasn’t held back all that much on many issues, I think that means we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
In the meantime, how much play and followup will this story get in the major media? About as much as Obama’s other incendiary comments have gotten, i.e., not much. The major media know their duty when they see it, and it’s to get their man re-elected.

You are about to enter… the twilight zone.
WHERE ARE THE GIRLFRIENDS?
I hadn’t thought about this – but where
are Obama’s past girlfriends – surely he had at least one? No past
girl friends popping up anywhere? Strange – strange to the point of
being downright weird!
OK, this is just plain old common sense,
no political agendas for either side. Just common knowledge for
citizens of a country, especially American citizens, who know every
little tidbit about every other president (and their wives) that even
know that Andrew Jackson’s wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused
of adultery, or that Lincoln never went to school or Kennedy wore a
back brace or Truman played the piano.
We are Americans! Our Media vets these
things out! We are known for our humanitarian interests and caring for
our ‘fellow man.’ We care, but none of us know one single humanizing
fact about the history of our own president.
Honestly, and this is a personal thing …
but it’s bugged me for years that no one who ever dated him ever
showed up. Taken his charisma, which caused the women to be drawn to
him so obviously during his campaign, looks like some lady would not
have missed the opportunity….
We all know about JFK’s magnetism, McCain
was no monk, Palin’s courtship and even her athletic prowess were
probed. Biden’s aneurisms are no secret. Look at Cheney and Clinton-we
all know about their heart problems. How could I have left out Wild
Bill before or during the White House?
Nope… not one lady has stepped up and
said, “He was soooo shy,” or “What a great dancer!”
Now look at the rest of what we know… no
classmates, not even the recorder for the Columbia class notes ever
heard of him.
Who was the best man at his wedding? Start
there. Check for groomsmen. Then get the footage of the graduation
ceremony.
Has anyone talked to the professors? Isn’t
it odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or
lived with him.
When did he meet Michele and how? Are
there photos? Every president provides the public with all their
photos, etc. for their library. What has he released? Nada – other
than what was in this so-called biography! And experts who study
writing styles, etc. claim it was not Obama’s own words or typical of
his speech patterns, etc.
Does this make any of you wonder?
Ever wonder why no one ever came forward
from Obama’s past, saying they knew him, attended school with him, was
his friend, etc. ? Not one person has ever come forward from his past.
This should really be a cause for great concern. Did you see the movie
titled, The Manchurian Candidate?
Let’s face it. As insignificant as we all
are… someone whom we went to school with remembers our name or
face…someone remembers we were the clown or the dork or the brain or
the quiet one or the bully or something about us.
George Stephanopoulos, ABC News said the
same thing during the 2008 campaign. Even George questions why no one
has acknowledged that the president was in their classroom or ate in
the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus.
Stephanopoulos was a classmate of Obama at Columbia-class of 1984.He
says he never had a single class with him.
Since he is such a great orator, why
doesn’t anyone in Obama’s college class remember him? And, why won’t
he allow Columbia to release his records?
Do you like millions of others, simply
assume all this is explainable – even though no one can?
NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA
Looking for evidence of Obama’s past, Fox
News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when
Obama claims to have been there, but not one remembers him. For
example,Wayne Allyn Root was (like Obama) a political science major at
Columbia , who graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, “I
don’t know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all
know me. I don’t have a single classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at
Columbia … EVER!
Nobody recalls him.
Root adds that he was, “Class of ’83
political science, pre-law” and says, “You don’t get more exact or
closer than that. Never met him in my life, don’t know anyone who ever
met him.”
At our 20th class reunion five years ago,
who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of
Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who
writes the class notes, who’s kind of the, as we say in New York , ‘the
macha’ who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever
met him.”
Obama’s photograph does not appear in the
school’s yearbook, and Obama consistently declines requests to talk
about his years at Columbia , provide school records, or provide the
name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia .
How can this be?
NOTE: Wayne Allyn Root can easily be
verified. He graduated valedictorian from his high school,
Thornton-Donovan School , then graduated from Columbia University in
1983 as a Political Science major in the same ’83 class in which
Barack Hussein Obama states he was.
Some other interesting questions.
Why was Obama’s law license inactivated in 2002?
Why was Michelle’s law license inactivated
by court order?
According to the U.S. Census, there is
only one Barack Obama – but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80
aliases.
WHAT!?
The Social Security number he uses now
originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived.
No wonder all his records are sealed!
Please continue sending this out to
everyone. Somewhere, someone had to know him in school…before he
“reorganized” Chicago and burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic
Convention and made us swoon with his charm, poise, and speaking
pizzazz.
One of the biggest CONS this country has
ever seen, and getting away with it. Go watch the movie The Manchurian
Candidate, with Lawrence Harvey ! Good movie!

How can this be re-posted on FB? I too, have asked all these questions. Hard to figure, isn’t it?

Wasn’t he a fairly decent basketball player in high school? Why is there a void after all of that?
April 21st, 2012 12:12 pm
Because he was playing in small-time semi-pro league in outer Mongolia that no sports writers ever covered.

I caught the meaning of this the instant I heard it said—yet, why aren’t others seeing it, or why are they ignoring it? Just wait—-so much is yet to come.
