Obama may not have read it. The Constitution of Iraq already anticipates the federation.
Further, if Obama really believes that we can't impose this plan on Iraq (we don't have to, as above) then why is he now expressing doubt whether Malaki should be allowed to continue in his post as elected representative. You either believe in democracy, or you don't.
Obama is merely repeating the plan that Presidential Candidate Joe Biden and Leslie Gelb have worked on, acting as if it's his own ideas. I mean, come on. I don't want a president that's going to act as if he takes credit for all the good stuff that others have worked on. That's wrong, on a fundamental level that is wrong. Thank you for posting this.
I am not voting for Obama since he picked Joe Biden instead of Hillary. Obama hates Hillary Clinton. My vote goes to John McCain.

Obama is full of such crap.
Here he is trying to talk like he knows about the Biden/Gelb plan.... but doesn't even get it right.

He gave biden and gelb credit. Listen carefully 18 seconds into the video is where he gives credit.
Biden 2008!
