Obama tried to sway Iraqis on Bush deal
Washington Times ^ | October 10, 2008 | Barbara Slavin

At the same time the Bush administration was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the president shouldn’t be allowed to enact the deal without congressional approval.

Mr. Obama’s conversations with the Iraqi leaders, confirmed to The Washington Times by his campaign aides, began just two weeks after he clinched the Democratic presidential nomination in June and stirred controversy over the appropriateness of a White House candidate’s contacts with foreign governments while the sitting president is conducting a war.

Seems like everyone in DC has forgotten about this. It was an actual successful move by a candidate to collude with a foreign government. He successfully undermined the sitting US President. This is another example of Obamas collusion, like his infamous "flexibility" hot mic comments to Medvedev that were caught on video/audio.

I’m shocked, shocked! that a Demonrat presidential candidate would make concessions to foreign enemies while undercutting a sitting President.

It’s like Anne Coulter says, you find out what Demonrats are up to by what they accuse against Republicans.

Mueller was head of the FBI then. He didn’t seem to have a problem with it when obama was president.

Good catch. That’s a nice little coincidence, isn’t it?

And this illegal collusion is the direct cause of the vacuum in Iraq that lead directly to ISIS.

well, it’s about time it got in print. Freepers have been jumping up and down over this for almost a year now while the MSM played stupid.

It’s a documented, open, brazen version of what they accuse Trump of without a shred of proof. It didn’t take a rumor from a retired British spy to find this Obama collusion. A retired British spy who was -paid- to produce a damaging innuendo based report.

This was a story from 2008, before he was elected. This has been well known. That’s why it’s amazing to watch this Mueller carnival.

The way I see it, even if Trump would have negotiated with foreigners in a way to get an advantage, this seems to be ok when democrats do it.

Exactly. After he was elected, both parties decided “The First Black President” must never be seen doing wrong, even while he was obviously doing wrong. The “poor black boys and girls” MUST have a perfect role model, even if reality itself must be bent to make that happen.

Why was Bush ever nice to Obama? And what about John “you have nothing to fear from a President Obama” McCain?

Thank God we now have someone who stands up to the left!

The Clintons colluded with enemies, sold technology which was classified, and killed people who got in their way to get themselves and friends filthy rich. Obama and democrats just do it because they hate.

This treasonous “collusion” cost us many hundreds, if not thousands of American lives, not to mention those of decent Iraqis of all religious persuasions, and led to the rise of ISIS.

If this isn’t “treason”, then what is?

Time for a special military tribunal to investigate (convict and execute) the traitor Obama.

My son fought to free Iraq from tyranny. Obama fought to impose it. There is a difference.

Time to pay the piper, Obama, you stinking commie Son of A Bitch.
