I wonder if Obama and Karzai shared stories of how they each won elections by getting the opponent off the ballot. Maybe Obama has even told Karzai the story of how Obama became a Senator.

If Obama’s folks had just kept their mouths shut and let Karzai pad the votes a bit, the election would have been over and done with. Now, we’ve twisted Karzai’s arm to 1) recount; 2) admit fraud; 3) hold a runoff; and 4) not hold a runoff.

Can’t anyone here play this game?

The Seattle Times, and NPR, and all similar camp-followers, were all just two days ago desperately insisting that with Abdullah-squared going offstage, the West’s hopes were all doomed and shattered. Did the DNC really finance an overwhelming campaign to buy public opinion in Abdullah’s favor as a savior? And now Obama’s telling us that Karzai’s doing his job and we’ll live with it?

This goofy non-foreign-policy by Chicago crooks posing as ‘community organizers’ is a national disaster, worthy of tar and feathers for every one of the crooks.

Obama’s statement is bizarre. He and Gibbs were singing a different tune only a few days ago. Karzai was illegitimate then, but since Abdullah quit the run-off, every thing’s just fine and dandy. What’s up with that?

I think Obama’s been smokin’ them funny cigarettes.
