Treason, Obama does NOT speak on behalf of the US! (yet)

Paris:

Some breaking news:

“At the same time the Bush administration was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the president shouldn’t be allowed to enact the deal without congressional approval.”

It seems to me that “treason” is the word of the day.  The gist of this article is simple, Obama is conducting negotiations on behalf of the United States behind the President’s back!  This behavior negatively effects agreements between the United States and Iraq, jeopardizes vital interests of the United States in securing our country, halts improvement of security forces in Iraq, and most importantly,  it directly undermines our president.  This is treasonous!

Our armed forces should not be taking orders from a bunch of bickering civilian senators.  Our military has a Commander in Chief for a reason!

I don’t mind it if he does all this after he becomes our president.  But Barack Obama has some nerve to to do this while our President is still in office.  His term is not over yet.

This seriously raises some questions.  Who does Obama think he is!?!  He does NOT speak on behalf of the United States. He does NOT even speak on behalf of Congress!  Simply put, he was speaking on behalf of himself.  And he ran his mouth a little too much on this one.  The arrogance is astounding and should rouse some deep feelings about how a presidential candidate should act.  This is unacceptable.  It is treason.

I’d like to respond.  Mainly because Paris seems to be exaggerating.  We all know that Paris is quite… outspoken… about his feelings on politics.  In contrast, I try not to let media sway my decision.

Let’s get this straight, plenty of presidential and vice presidential candidates have conducted numerous talks with leaders of other countries.  This is not any different.  And no, they have NOT been tried for treason.

With that said however, Obama’s behavior astounds even me.  I have to agree somewhat that this does directly undermine the presidency.  Check and balances are instituted in the system.  A cliche term, I know.  But I can’t help but feel the Barack Obama has over-stepped his bounds as a United States Senator in this regard.

In the end, I am severely disappointed.  I was just getting used to him becoming our future president.  But future is a key word here.  He is not the president yet, his administration is not in power yet, and thus, he should not be behaving in this manner.  Treason?  No.  Unacceptable?  Yes.  Please respect our president.

Crap Obama, now you’ve gone and made Jacks cry.  She was rooting for you and couldn’t wait to vote.
