Dealings With Russia

Our press seems to be preoccupied with the former National Security Advisor's contacts with Russia before he was actually in office and could act as a government official.  I remind them of a President Obama who left his microphone on live while talking to Dimitry Medvedev.  He reminded the Russian lead that he was involved in national election and would not be able to discuss certain matters until after the election was over.  He said he could be more flexible then.  The hypocrisy of the loyal opposition is beyond any of us.
