The microphone was hot, and this time, President Barack Obama was happily aware that he was being recorded.
During the opening of a speech he gave to news editors in Washington, Obama took a light jab at the media for reporting sideline discussions he had with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Seoul that were, unbeknownst to the pair, picked up by press microphones.

“Feel free to transmit any of this to Vladimir if you see him.”
