Blackwater USA handled Barack Obama’s security while in Iraq, Paul Bedard of US News & World Report reports. What did the Illinois senator think about the security firm?

What’s more, Obama was overheard saying: “Blackwater is getting a bad rap.”

Karl’s having a field day with that quote. Who gave it a bad rap? The same Illinois senator who “said they run amok and erode the core of our military’s relationship to the nation”?
