Here is something that the media should focus on. In the debates tonight, Barack Obama said that even Henry Kissinger agreed with Obama that on a presidential level a diplomatic meeting with as rogue a leader as Iran's Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a good idea. McCain immediately said that this was not true, but the issue wasn't further addressed in the debate.
Well, now Henry Kissinger himself is attempting to set the record straight. Kissinger says that Obama was wrong, McCain was right. Stephen Hayes of the Weekly Standard has a short post to this effect on his TheBlog entry.
Kissinger Unhappy About Obama
Henry Kissinger believes Barack Obama misstated his views on diplomacy with US adversaries and is not happy about being mischaracterized. He says: "Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality."
Well, that about answers to that Obama lie....

The Friends have mentioned it showing Kissinger’s statement several times this morning.
I love that graphic.
My thoughts exactly.
Must have been a nice room!
I give Kissinger a lot of credit for this. Thank you, sir.
Hello pMSNBC. McCain didn't kiss his ring either. Or kneel in his presence.
Was he somehow "supposed" to?
Now Now Now, what’s a little white lie if the person saying it truly believes that it’s true.
If I say something is true, it’s true for ME therefore it should also be true for you.
Why do you prove Sen Obama a liar all the time. He didn’t tell a lie. He spoke the truth the way he understands the truth.
According to Alinsky and Marx, that is. [SARCASM reigns supreme]
They did in the earlier hours...Steve read the statement, posted on a graphic, in his Henry Kissinger voice. Later Peter Johnson Jr. was on and referred to it. They also played the clip quite a few times.
I read last night that it came to the CNN anchors within minutes of the debate.
Who is going to refuse Kissinger an appearance on their show, if he demands one?
The kid is wet behind the.......EARS.

Calling Obama a kid is disrespectful...to kids.
lol. You’re right.. :-)
Obama has training wheels on his bicycle. He is totally unfit to be president.
Most people who plan to vote for Obama don’t even know who Henry Kissinger is. They probably think Dr. Kissinger is a professor at Columbia, where Obama got his undergraduate degree. Which reminds me ....... there has never been a president who graduated from Columbia. Let’s keep it that way!
(Both Roosevelt’s attended Columbia Law School, but didn’t graduate.)
