Obama meddling in foreign affairs endangers US troops

I suspected as much. The Constitution says a person can be fined and also imprisoned for three years for interfering in foreign governments. It is unthinkable anyone would want him to be president after reading this.

I totally agree! I think this should definitely be investigated and prosecuted if that is what happened.

Whatever plans are in the works for withdrawing troops is irrelevant in this case. Obama overstepped his authority and tried to influence a foreign government in a time of war. It is illegal whether the USA is at war or not. Obama is a traitor and should be prosecuted. Period.

Right, but Bush is the the guy in charge, not a presidential candidate and U.S. senator. The issue at hand is that Obama, if he did in fact do this, did not have the authority to do so and dealt with a foriegn government, concerning a matter of war, acted under military authority he did not have and circumvente4d the commander in chief in doing so. It is a very serious charge.

I don't think this will be the last of it. If someone doesn't step up and prosecute this crime, I think it could be the focus of an "October surprise" that has been rumored is in the works.

lol, we can hope. but you know how it goes, authorities will procecute, based on actual and apliable law and people will scream and cry foul. racism, election bias, partisan attack and such, no matter how solid the law is.

considering Nancy Pelosi is right now 3rd in line for president, she too should be investigated, but I'm pretty sure it won't happen

I would hope to think that it would be investigated - especially since this person is running for President. He obviously already thinks of himself as such and is definitely overstepping his bounds!

One other question; why are the Obamites not weighing in on this one? Could it be some of the blinders have fallen off? (Oh, darn, that's two questions)

When someone has egg on their face they don't want to be seen. I hope you are right they are seeing the truth about Obama now.

That is a good point but I think time has run out for those who want to vote for a candidate only for what they can get out of it. All those promises if free money are going to be forgotten soon enough. I don't think Obama is going to win, but he also could never deliver the things he has promised the American people. It is just not doable.

lol, you may be on to something there with the lottery thing, seriously. But it's sad when we have to use that as incetive to vote isn't it.

I agree. He is only trying to promote himself. I don't think he cares one bit about America and its welfare.

I am thinking the same thing. He is trying to make the right-wing politicians look bad and portray himself as a problem solver in international affairs. I could never trust Obama to take care of our foreign affairs. Not before, and espically now after he has broken the law by meddling in international affairs and tried to put our troops in harms way by prolonging their stay in the war zone.

Thanks for posting this, rodney. I am relieved that his meddling is known to the government and not a secret only posted in blogs on the internet. There must be some kind of repercussions from this. It is illegal, and if it doesn't lose Obama the nomination at this point, it should at least be publicized so the American people can see what a dishonest scoundrel he really is. The best thing would be for them to prosecute him as a deterrent for other would-be meddlers in international. There have been several others in the past who have done it and bad mouthed the USA to other governments. Nancy Pelose, Jimmy Carter, I'm sure there are a host of others who have done this. They should be called to prosecuted as traitors.

Good point. I guess he thinks desperate times call for desperate measures. He has made no secret that he considers himself a citizen of the world, not just a citizen of the USA and he is trying oh so hard to appear presidential to the whole world, as if that will help his chances of being elected here. Surely no one will be fooled by such arrogance. He is a lawbreaker and doesn't care who he steps on in his climb to the top, even if it is soldiers who are risking their lives every day defending the USA.

I agree with your thoughts on Obama. His actions in this instance and a lot of others are completely indefensible. He continues to lie and decieve the American people. It's no wonder this discussion isn't getting any responses from MyLot's staunchest Obamites.
