"EXPOSED, FLASHBACK, 2008: Senator Barack Obama Sends Emissary To Iran To Tell Mullahs Not To Sign Deal With Bush"

Uh Huh.
Why am I not surprised?

Quote:
Excerpted from Breitbart: President Obama set his Vice Presidential attack dog on the forty-seven GOP senators who dared send their March 9th letter to Iran’s leadership warning them any deal signed with Team Obama may be short-lived when a new president comes to office.

But Biden, like his boss, fails to do his homework before making outlandish statements or else chooses conveniently to overlook the facts.

Livid over the GOP letter, Biden proclaimed: “In thirty-six years in the United States Senate, I cannot recall another instance in which Senators wrote directly to advise another country.”

Directing his venom at the Senate’s Republican majority, Biden claimed the GOP letter was “expressly designed to undercut a sitting President in the midst of sensitive international negotiations…(an act) beneath the dignity of an institution I revere.”

Biden need not go back that far to find a senator who sent advice to a foreign power when similar “sensitive” negotiations were ongoing. Seven years back is far enough.

According to Pajamas Media columnist Michael Ledeen, in 2008, a Democratic senator sent a personal emissary to Tehran encouraging the mullahs not to sign an agreement with the outgoing Bush Administration as negotiations would take on a much friendlier tone following President Bush’s departure from office.

That senator’s name was Barack Obama.

No evidence whatsoever, it is a propaganda radio show by some unknown right wing weirdo.
Nobody ever heard about it, only 'well' informed right wingers have the info, no article on the mainstream media .
Do you have any serious link ? No right wing links !!

When you follow the links, it takes you to a page that claims this was a secret trip that Obama did while campaigning and leads me to believe that we shouldn't believe everything we read just because it is on the internet.

What I find curious is that this allegedly happened in 2008 and no one said anything until now.

Dumbest post I ever read. Like someone had to cut a deal with Iran to get Reagan elected. My father is dye-in-the wool democrat since birth. Even HE voted for Reagan to get moron Carter out of the WH.

Every action in politics has an equal and opposite reaction, whether or not it happened.

What I find hard to believe is that Obama actually DID SOMETHING while Senator.

That alone makes me suspicious that this might not be true.

Actually the article that is being quoted was written in August, 2014 by Michael Ledeen.

That old wives tale of GHWB in Blackbird has been thoroughly discredited.

Ok. Why did it take until 2014 for Obama's action to be exposed? Certainly something like that would have been of great interest to the media and an opportunity for headlines, and the Republicans could/would have used this information to their advantage (especially in the 2012 election cycle).
