Blackwater Got the Gig Securing Obama in Afghanistan
Sen. Barack Obama has not been a fan of private police like Blackwater in war zones, and some news outlets even reported that they were spurned for his trip last week to Afghanistan and Iraq. But Whispers confirms that Blackwater did handle the Democratic presidential candidate's security in Afghanistan and helped out in Iraq. What's more, Obama was overheard saying: "Blackwater is getting a bad rap." Since everything appeared to go swimmingly, maybe he will take firms like Blackwater out of his sights, the company's supporters hope.

Another liberal in the tradition of Ted Kennedy
He's extremely cautious about weapons ownership and self-defense by citizens, but not when it comes to his own safety.
Kennedy's personal bodyguard was arrested for attempting to enter a Senate Office building with a concealed illegal submachine gun.
Ted, of course, used every form of intimidation to prevent his own thug from being prosecuted, by claiming the bodyguard was armed "on my instructions" - despite the absolute local (D.C.) ban on private gun ownership, and the absolute Federal ban on weapons in the building.
Obama Hearts Blackwater
Future newspaper headline:
"Obama: 'This isn't the Blackwater that I knew!'"
