Both Obama and Biden have flat out denied that Obama said this. The question was, would you meet during your first year in office without precondition the leaders of Iran, Syria, etc. Obama's answer was, "Yes, I would." It's one thing to clarify your answer and spin it in a positive way. But to say he never said it is just a flat out lie and dishonorable coming from someone that is running for the Presidency.

I agree. Joe Biden is a slimy, washington establishment opportunitist who prior to becoming Obamas VP, sd Obama lacked experience, he sd Obama played politics when he voted "against" funding the troops and lets face it, Biden is on tape, several times praising John McCain for his courage, his bi-partisan record and his understanding of the war....he even sd he would be proud to run "with" him. Obama can run but he can't hide from the truth. MCCAIN/PALIN 2008

Look at the hypocrisy of Obama. I voted him in for change but what I got was a continuation of Bush policies: the bailouts, the wars, the abdications of our civil liberties with the NDAA. This time I won't make that same foolish decision. I'll be voting for actual change. I will be voting for Dr. Ron Paul, even if that means writhing him in in the ballot box.

Ron Paul 2012!

Obama actually continued nearly every single Bush Policy.
