Democratic presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama (Ill) denied he did anything wrong in his negotiations with Iraq in July. “The assertion that I asked for a delay in troop withdrawals is a lie,” Obama complained. “I merely suggested that such a decision be deferred until I take office in January.”
Obama also took issue with the claim that his actions violated the Logan Act (a law barring private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments on matters of state). “I am not a private citizen,” Obama said. “I am a US Senator and the next president of the United States. By starting early I was giving the American people the benefit of my presidential services prior to their having to pay me for them.”
In related news, Obama characterized the American people as “basically decent, but not very smart.” “They get confused watching the wrong TV shows and listening to the wrong radio programs,” he said. “When I’m president, I will take action to help break them of these bad habits.”

I said that as sarcasm. No he said "Democratic presidential nominee, Senator Barack Obama (Ill) denied he did anything wrong in his negotiations with Iraq in July. “The assertion that I asked for a delay in troop withdrawals is a lie,” Obama complained. “I merely suggested that such a decision be deferred until I take office in January.”"

By his own admission, negotiation with Iraq is in itself a violation and he should be charged.
