Obama Spokeswoman Offers Non-Denial on LoganGate

Everyone seems agreed, mostly, that Obama deliberately interfered with the constitutional exercise of the president's treaty-negotiating power.

1 More important to the election issue is that Obambi was trying to delay troop withdrawals for political advantage.

2 how much power do Senators on the Foreign Relations committee have with issues like this? any?

Are you questioning Obama's patriotism? Clearly, he was concerned that a too-rapid withdrawal of troops would lead to unpleasant jet lag, and wants to take a much more leisurely pace for the comfort of our American soldiers, that just happens to exactly coincide with his political ambitions.

A Democrat cynically using the American military to try and garner political advantage? Say it ain't so, Joe!

4 "as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial."

Freudian slip?

5 was trying to delay troop withdrawals for political advantage.

Contra his public plea to withdraw troops now. Sort of like how he headfaked his nutroots followers on his Wiretap vote.

6 And we don't even get a non-denial from McCain on his support for the gang of 20.

Thank you sir. May I have another?

7 This can be devastating once normal people (meaning non-political junkies) hear about this. I'm sure the McCain team, once Carla Fiorni (sp?) is safely tied, bound, and placed in a broom closet, will get right on that.

8 So why have a law, if its never enforced. Oh wait, the law doesn't apply to Libs. My bad.

9 The Obama camp's statement is very damning and should be made into a McCain ad ASAP. Obie must know that Zebari had the meeting recorded and can't outright deny it without getting busted in a very embarrassing manner. With McCain's fortunes looking better these days, the Iraqi government might not feel as much need to cover for Obama if they're convinced McCain will win.

I think this issue is quite serious.

Obama was potentially placing the lives of our troops in danger, and he NEEDS to be charged criminally under the Logan Act.

Posted by: rrobin at September 16, 2008 04:41 PM (XWJh5)

Kinda hard to deny it when he fucking admitted to it, although that is par for the course. From MSNBC no less:

"Obama spoke briefly (about 10 minutes) with reporters about his telephone conversation with Zebari. He said he was encouraged by the progress made in reducing the violence in Iraq, but believed troops should be withdrawn, and they should do so carefully.

Obama also told Zebari, he said, that Congress should be involved in any negotiations regarding a Status of Forces agreement with Iraq. He suggested it may be better to wait until the next administration to negotiate such an agreement."

12 This surprised me, he basically confirmed what the Iraqi government said. I was skeptical of the Iraqi report, because it's always best to doubt what you hear from governments of that region but Senator Obama just came out and admitted what he did.

13 But wasn't he pretending to be the President at the time?

Posted by: Lemmiwinks at September 16, 2008 05:33 PM (E6GUg)

14 Wow amazing that how many houses McCain owns has gotten more play that this. Truly disgusting!

Posted by: David at September 16, 2008 05:47 PM (HAdov)

15 As I have repeatedly said, and have made clear time and again, my first concern is patriotic support for the troops whom I have consistently said should be brought home from this titanic blunder Bush made in Iraq, and brought home as fast as possible but without the reckless abandon that a swift withdrawal would entail, therefore we need to delay the prompt return of forces as we maintain a prudent military presence as a deterrent against the forces of Al-Qaeda in Iraq which remain a grave threat but are entirely unrelated to Al-Qaeda in Places Not Iraq, so that we may withdraw with all expediency as quickly as feasible except when we must do otherwise as events on the ground allow, or in the air, or on the seas.

No one has been more clear and explicit about this matter than I, unlike John McCain who can't use a computer or a vending machine, or a hearing aid. And he says his wife is a cunt.

You've already asked more than eight questions, please direct further enquiries to my staff of 300.

16 Just wait til you see how much press the "McCain invented the Blackberry" comment gets.

Posted by: Christopher Taylor at September 16, 2008 06:18 PM (0+Ggj)

PLEASE READ COMMENT 11 AND THEN GO TO THE LINK

screaming now complete...just needed to have a tiny tantrum. But really, pls do read the link at comment 11. Instead of all this jabbering, how's about looking to see what Obama said on June 16, 2008 regarding his conversations w/ Iraq.

And then plaster that link all over the internet.

Posted by: jmb at September 16, 2008 06:24 PM (GaQF2)

18 Remember--running for president qualifies you to be president. And it also entitles you to having your foreign policy implemented without having won an election.

Obama claims he's not demanding anything by demanding that Iraq wait until after the election to make a plan with us. Huh?

And then he blames Bush for "kicking the can down the road"--which is exactly what he's demanding.

This is getting to be the Full Monty Python-esque weird.

Posted by: Noel at September 16, 2008 10:10 PM (4gHqM)

19 Of COURSE Obama broke the law. When has he ever shown any concern for the law?

Of COURSE Obama lied, when has he not?

Of COURSE the MSM will cover for him, when have they ever done otherwise?

Obama's about as likely to be prosecuted as one of the thousands of vote-cheaters in Chicago.

That doesn't mean he shouldn't be.

Others suppose that there is a single Oyster watch. But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner. Since then the Oyster has further, particularly advanced. Many Oyster watches today are omega Watches perpetual-self-winding, in other omega watches words, it does not require to expose the mechanism to the outside world in order to wind it.
