Oops, the camera was rolling when Obama assured outgoing Russian Medvedev in Seoul to be sure to tell Putin he would go easy once the 2012 election was over.<\/h1>\n

Putin (Left) – Obama (Right) – Obama re-assures Vladmir Putin through outgoing President Dmitry Medvedev of Russia that after he’s relected in 2012 Putin can expect good things coming his way from him and his administration because he won’t have to worry about consternation from the American people. He won’t have to be concerned about reelection.\u00a0 Scary though, aye?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

SEOUL (Reuters) – President Barack Obama<\/a> was caught on camera on Monday assuring outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he will have “more flexibility” to deal with contentious issues like missile defense after the U.S. presidential election.<\/p>\n

Obama, during talks in Seoul, urged Moscow to give him “space” until after the November ballot, and Medvedev said he would relay the message to incoming Russian president Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n

The unusually frank exchange came as Obama and Medvedev huddled together on the eve of a global nuclear security summit in the South Korean capital, unaware their words were being picked up by microphones as reporters were led into the room.<\/p>\n

U.S. plans for an anti-missile shield have bedeviled relations between Washington and Moscow despite Obama’s “reset” in ties between the two former Cold War foes. Obama’s Republican opponents have accused him of being too open to concessions to Russia on the issue.<\/p>\n

Leaning toward Medvedev, Obama was overheard asking for time – “particularly with missile defense” – until he is in a better position politically to resolve such issues.<\/p>\n

“I understand your message about space,” replied Medvedev, who will hand over the presidency to Putin in May.<\/p>\n

“This is my last election … After my election I have more flexibility,” Obama said, expressing confidence he will win a second term.<\/p>\n

“I will transmit this information to Vladimir,” said Medvedev, Putin’s prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and long considered number two in Moscow’s power structure.<\/p>\n

The exchange, parts of it inaudible, was monitored by a White House pool of television journalists as well as Russian reporters listening live from their press center.<\/p>\n

Russia strongly opposes the U.S.-engineered bulwark being built in and around Europe against ballistic missiles.<\/p>\n

The United States insists it is intended as protection against a missile attack by countries such as Iran, but Russia says it fears the system could weaken its nuclear deterrent.<\/p>\n

The White House, initially caught off-guard by questions about the leaders’ exchange, later released a statement recommitting to implementing missile defense “which we’ve repeatedly said is not aimed at Russia” but also acknowledging election-year obstacles on the issue.<\/p>\n

“Since 2012 is an election year in both countries, with an election and leadership transition in Russia and an election in the United States, it is clearly not a year in which we are going to achieve a breakthrough,” U.S. deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said.<\/p>\n

“Therefore, President Obama and President Medvedev agreed that it was best to instruct our technical experts to do the work of better understanding our respective positions, providing space for continued discussions on missile defense cooperation going forward,” he said.<\/p>\n
