What did Obama mean by having "more flexibility" after the election?

I can tell you one thing: It was a far cry from Ronald Reagan's "We begin bombing in five-minutes." 1984 misspeak while he was doing a sound check prior to an address to the nation.

Many are asking just what US President, Barack H. Obama was trying to say to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev on Monday when he thought the microphones were turned off.

The answer is simple: as he should, most assuredly, loose the election, he probably means that he will be able to relocate, as many of us had planned to do when we retired (but before the housing crisis preempted our plans), and perhaps move to Russia as most liberals have threatened to do in recent years.

He was correct on one point in this quote however: this is his "last election."
