While I understand any skepticism around Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari claiming Obama tried to delay an agreement on Iraq, the fact is - it was reported at the time.
While the Bush administration would like to see an agreement reached before the summer’s political conventions, Mr. Obama said today that he opposed such a timetable.
“My concern is that the Bush administration, in a weakened state politically, ends up trying to rush an agreement that in some ways might be binding to the next administration, whether it’s my administration or Senator McCain’s administration,” Mr. Obama said.


Obama used to be a community organizer, so now he wants to be promoted to world organizer. What kinds of things do community organizers do? Things like this (from the Detroit Free Press):
"The majority of the problem applications are coming from the group ACORN, Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, which has a large voter registration program among its many social service programs. ACORN's Michigan branch, based in Detroit, has enrolled 200,000 voters statewide in recent months, mostly with the use of paid, part-time employees.
"There appears to be a sizeable[sic] number of duplicate and fraudulent applications," said Kelly Chesney, spokeswoman for the Michigan Secretary of State's Office. "And it appears to be widespread."

Oh ooh. I saw the Acorn story and rushed to put it up here, Dan. Didn't notice you already had it up. Haste makes waste. But at least I got the world organizer crack in.

I think people need to know more about this issue. I heard on Rush L. that they had checked into it and Obama did do this. Shouldn't more people like Hannity and O'Rielly be airing this story???
I find it appalling how arogent Obama is to ask something like this when he is just running for office. Boy, does he think he is something special???
