For those of you with broken video players [pffft!], this is what we got from politico.com:

ABC’s Jake Tapper writes that Obama “joked that he’d have to discuss Michael Jackson in order to get media coverage of the U.S.-Russian summit.”

And I assume at some point people will start focusing again on things like nuclear weapons.”
