If you were given a choice between risking being assassinated and making a deal with a company you do not like, what would you do?

choosing a company that outraged him, if in fact he was actually outraged, is clear hypocrisy....there are ALWAYS choices....

No matter how crooked Blackwater may be, even if they got the contract through underhand means, they are the ones doing most of the Afghan security for the US. So it would be natural for Obama to choose them wouldn't it?

I went to school with Barack, he is a total jerk and a-hole.  Nobody liked him in school and he didnt have many friends.  We all just tried to stay away from him if we could.
