Obama did not contact the Canadian Government ... HILLARY CLINTON DID!

The damage done to Barack Obama is enormous. And only the Canadian government that started this firestorm can put it out. The story has been twisted and posted in every corner of the United States and now it is up to a responsible Canadian government to make it right. A few thousand dollars and a well written explanation in every major paper should just about lay this to rest. (I'm not even demanding a few drops of blood from the decapitated bodies of the two wanna-be big shots that set this up)

Ok, that's it. Make it happen. Or I will continue to post for as long as my fingers can hit a keyboard.

PMO: Canadian officials only got briefing from Obama campaign - not Clinton

We don't know what happened and this attempt to protect his Chief of Staff and kill the story doesn't change that. There is going to be an investigation into both the Obama controversy and the Clinton phone call controversy, how real it will be, we shall see. To date, we still don't know what happened re the Chief of Staff's comments.

4. Why should they do that just because Barack lied?

6. Then let them say so unequivocally under their own flag.

5. Looks like the only way to settle this is a CBC "Fifth Estate" investigation.

They will get to the bottom of it.

7. DAMN good idea! I hope they do take it on....

that will be the only way we will find out what really happened and why it went the way it did! I have my own ideas on what happened and it is nothing like what has been reported unless one reads ALL the information out there on this.
