Obama Faces Protests Over Pakistan Remarks
The Swamp:
Sen. Barack Obama's splash in the debate over terrorists seeking refuge inside Pakistan still ripplles, with protests from Pakistan to Chicago, where the Illinois senator is heading to a rally this afternoon in advance of the AFL-CIO candidates' forum at Soldier Field.
The senator suggested that, if Pakistani leaders will not take action against al Qaeda leaders hiding in Pakistan, the U.S. should. Obama's rival candidates and Republicans alike have criticized him for the comment, and it has sparked protests among Pakistanis.
