No doubt. You'd have to get-beyond your spelling-problems, first.
Why is it rediculous? obama was a law school graduate from harvard. He broke the law you would think he would have known better after all he was magna cum laude. Its the little things that shows how much a person knows.Good lord drop it, plenty of legitimate complaints about Obama's inadequacies as President without the ridiculous.

He did NOT break the law, he was sitting on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. I suggest you learn what it iis they do and what authorization they have, because authorization is the key

rather than waste all your time arguing about whether Obama was born in the United States or whether he violated the Logan Act, why not make an attempt to constructively work with the president to try to fix the problems that confront this country?
\Do you hate America? I think you do. Lets all go suppoort Castro, or chvas I am not work with the POS If he fails America will be saved

What part are you missing? Did President Bush send obama to request that the Iraqi President delay any agreement to a troop withdraw until after the 2008 election. It doesn't matter what committee obama was on he was not the commander and chief he was not authoerized to nogatiate any thing dealing with the military. So I guess you would say it's ok for any senator to go to any country and strike a deal.

The Logan act does not specify that they have to be sent by the president, only that private citizens cannot do this. Obama was not a private citizen.

Actually the law reads ANY citizen, not private citizen, but it also read without AUTHORIZATION. What it does not specify is what an AUTHORIZED agent may or may not speak about. And therein lies the problem in proving Obama broke this law. He did not.

I read the law, and then read it again. Nowhere does it delineate between a private citizen and a public servant.
It simply refers to "any citizen".

I do not believe there is any federal law that anyone, regardless of their trade, is exempt from.

Reread the law. IF you are an authorized agent of the USG this law does not apply to you. IF this were not so, how did Bill Clinton, as a private citizen, go and meet with the N Koreans to negotiate the release of those hostages? Oh, it's because he was authorized to do so.

Once authorized by the USG, there is no need to be authorized about what you can and can't talk about. That's just stupid to think otherwise...
