Vlad, can I call you back in mid November?
President Obama had a hot mic yesterday when he was talking election politics with President Medvedev at the Seoul Nuclear Summit.
While we don’t have the whole conversation available to us, it sounds strangely like President Obama is suggesting that he would like to discuss an arms treaty with Team Putin, but it needs to wait until after the election.
If it has to wait until after the election, Dr. J. strongly suspects that he is looking to make deep cuts in our arsenal, something that might not resonate well with moderates and can’t be demagogued with class warfare tropes.
It’s not like he’s worried about losing the security hawk vote…
