In 1984 Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson met with Cuban president Fidel Castro and later described a ten-point agreement the two had reached. His negotiations with Castro may have violated the Logan Act, but Jackson was not prosecuted.

Ted Kennedy fed the russians info in an attempt to hurt Carter during their primary race. Seems that treasonous acts are standard fare for democrats looking to get elected.

But, Barry has BELIEVED he was already president-in-waiting, which in his mind is the same as being president, since he beat the Beast for the nomination. So, in his feeble mind, he is president. I bet the @$$hole stands in front of the mirror at night and practices his swearing in, with MamaObama doing the Chief Justice bit.

ah, guys...you get the feeling that a “switch” got turned on after Palin’s debate? Seems that it’s open season on BHO. I don’t think Barry new what hit him and I’m not sure he take the pressure.

If W had the huevos, he would have the DOJ get an indictment and that would be the end of it. Sure, some race riots will happen - but whatever happened to the Rule of Law?

I would say we have had quite a few October and September surprises.

First Pelosi is over in Iran when Bush requested she not go; now Obama is doing it.

This guy keeps digging the hole deeper and deeper.

ORIGINAL ACCUSATION

[... according to Iraq’s Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Senator Obama in June told visiting Iraqi officials that President Bush’s government was in a ‘”state of weakness and political confusion’” so the negotiations (for troop withdrawal) should be postponed until after the election...]
