McCain Responds to Obama's Reported Undermining of the Commander-In-Chief During Wartime [Andy McCarthy]

The McCain Campaign has issued a statement responding to the report from Amer Taheri (see today's web briefing) that Sen. Obama secretly negotiated with the Iraqi government regarding U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. McCain spokesman Randy Scheunemann stated as follows:

At this point, it is not yet clear what official American negotiations Senator Obama tried to undermine with Iraqi leaders, but the possibility of such actions is unprecedented. It should be concerning to all that he reportedly urged that the democratically-elected Iraqi government listen to him rather than the US administration in power. If news reports are accurate, this is an egregious act of political interference by a presidential candidate seeking political advantage overseas. Senator Obama needs to reveal what he said to Iraq's Foreign Minister during their closed door meeting. The charge that he sought to delay the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq raises serious questions about Senator Obama's judgment and it demands an explanation.

Indeed, I missed that story.

Politics does make for strange bedfellows, however I can not think of a time in our history when more politicians have hunkered down for the night with terrorists.

I realize nothing will happen to the Chosen One over this, and that p*sses me off more then what he did.

This article traces Obama’s recent connections with terrorists, it's very detailed and connects the dots. It's disgusting that our tax dollars are used to defend these murderers, all the while, allowing them in and out of our country at will. Obama should NOT be a US Senator, let alone the President.

In any case, neither one of them are good at it.

I would feel more like the truth were being told if the Iraqi official revealed us what took place rather than Hussein! He is a compulsive lier!

I agree, but I sense something else in play.

Think of it in the context of the Hostages being rleased from Iran AFTER President Reagan was sworn in. How is Carter remembered? The failed attempt to rescue the hostages. He failed. A failed Presidency.

It would be the ultimate insult from the left to President Bush. It is an attempt to write the history books. “Bush’s War” “The Bush War that Obama ended”

Not only does the left harbor an irrational, rabid hatred for Bush, they want to define him for the ages.

That sick scumbag Obama should be tried for treason and hung.

I hope there's a cellphone video like with the other Hussein, kicking and squealing like the pig Obama is.

“Yes, it is. But senators aren’t subject to laws like the rest of us peasants. McCain should have quoted the law and charged Obama with violating the Logan Act.”

That's the term I was looking for - the Logan Act. Obama is in Clear violation of the Logan Act and should be subject to prosecution under same.

Reprehensible.

The financial news and MSM’s determination to favor Obama will bury this.

Looking at the new McCain ad, it’s more likely that his appearances on morning shows will be to address the financial crisis, not Obama’s treason.
