Jodi Evans, a founder of the radical anti-war group Code Pink and "bundler" for Barack Obamas presidential campaign, met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Wednesday.
Its rare for a head of state to take time during an official U.N. visit to meet with the peace community, especially in a situation where the host governmentrepresented by the Bush administrationis so hostile, Evans said in a statement. The fact that the meeting took place and was so positive is, in itself, a major step forward.
During the Democratic primary Obama came under fire from both his Democratic and Republican foes for promising to meet with Ahmadinejad without preconditions if he became president.
At the meeting Evans and fellow Code Pink founder Medea Benjamin offered Ahmadinejad a plan to build a peace park in Tehran and invest funds in Iranian businesses that produce green and sustainable products, such as bicycles.
Evans signed on to become a bundler for Obamas presidential campaign last June. As a bundler, she has pledged to raise at least $50,000 for his campaign.
150 other peace group representatives also attended the event which was held at New Yorks Grand Hyatt Hotel. Ahmahdinejad was in the city to address the United Nations.

Are you sure the author didn’t misspell “bungler”?
Wasn’t she one of the crazies that tried to interrupt the G.O.P. convention?
And the condemnation coming from the NObomba camp is . . .?
Let me be the first to say:
THIS IS NOT THE JODIE EVANS I KNEW.
paging ms. evans.
Isn’t this a treasonous act? After all, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pretty much threatened us again yesterday
Useful idiots.
Between the Mennonites, the code pink crowd and general loony peacenik demonstrators, ... Ahmadinejad will go home with a bigger head then the one he arrived with. Im sure that he believes the bat fringe in the US are the majority, considering they are the only ones that are willing to meet with him. ;-)
No doubt the Logan Act was violated. Where are the indictments?
Ooooooooooooooooooooooo
How speshell
ROFLMBO
Does she think meeting with a mugger would prevent her from being mugged?
Communists in the post-Communist era.
“Does she think meeting with a mugger would prevent her from being mugged?”
No, but she believes it does keep the flies off her watermelon.
Wow... beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes to the bone!
Ahmadinejad met with you because he hates America and Americans and he understands that you and your group do also. So it is not surprising that he met with you.
We used to call them “The Fifth Column” during world war II and “Fellow Travelers” during the cold war.
Aid and Comfort to the Enemy... anyone??? I would meet with him long enough to call him a sawed off little POS.
where oh where is the political ad showing footage of this freak charging Palin?
And then meeting Mr. Holocaust?
And wasn’t she with Obama at that Hollywood dinner?
Are there photos of her with Obama?
Please tell me there are photos of her with him!
