Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev said Wednesday that Russia will target the American missile defense system in Europe with its missiles if Moscow cannot reach an agreement with Washington and NATO on how the system will be built and operated.

"Unfortunately, the United States and other NATO partners have not demonstrated serious readiness to move,” he said in a televised address. 

Today President Barack Obama stated in an open mic conversation with President Medvedev, “On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him (Vladimir Putin) to give me space.  This is my last election.  After my election, I have more flexibility.” 

How sad that the current President of the United States believe he is not able to work with Russia and our NATO partners and solve criticial international problems facing our nation  because he is so fearful such action on his part will jeporadize his bid for re-election as President of the United States.

Our country needs and deserves a President who has the courage to work in the best interest of the American people at all times regardless of whether or not it is an election year.  America needs a President who will speak openly and honestly with the American people regarding critical international issues.
