Compare and Contrast
Compare and contrast this paragraph
...with this paragraph from later in the same story:
So it is true.
Obama was freelancing, engaging in his own personal foreign policy without co-ordinatng with the executive branch. Indeed, according to his own spokesperson, he was engaging a foreign government in actively trying to subvert and sabotage the foreign policy of the United States.
If this is true, then in my view, it is potentially grounds for impeachment.
It proves, also, that Obama does not have the maturity to be President of the United States. He certainly does not respect the constitutional role of the executive in formulating and carrying out foreign policy.
Legislators should not be visiting foreign governments and actively trying to weaken the hand of United States negotiators. Period. Obama wouldn't stand for it if he were president, either.

Barack Obama's White House campaign angrily denied Monday a report that he had secretly urged the Iraqis to postpone a deal to withdraw US troops until after November's election.
...with this paragraph from later in the same story:
In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a "Strategic Framework Agreement" governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said.
So it is true.

He's not the first - remember Nancy Pelosi and her trip to Syria - and I'm sure he won't be the last, especially if McCain wins in November. Why don't they prosecute people for this??
