It is apparent these political races are important to President Obama to maintain his forceful take over of health care in America! But, my question in this election season is how can the President of the United States congradulate the Afganistani President on his election victory when the main challenger backed out of the final round of voting because of the current administrations control of the election process and the fact that the President of Afganistan had 1/3 of his votes tossed out due to corruption? Is this who President Obama wanted? Is this the best way to see how democracy works? If corruption can cause a legitimate challenger to drop out WHY NOT IN THE IRAQI ELECTIONS COMING UP? Is the President of the United States so steeped in Political Corruption from his time in Chicago that he does not see CORRUPTION AND BAD AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY WHEN IT IS STARING HIM IN THE FACE? This is the fastest way for the HARD FOUGHT GAINS BY OUR MILITARY TO BE GIVEN UP! America stands for freedom around the world, but now many will see us as weak! Why? Because we are weaker under this policy and administration!
