BSD were the brains behind much of this, and are quite definitely market leaders in creating mass movements. You think some GoDaddy or AT&T executive in a suit will give better advice? ...or be less after growing their own business? I think not. I don't see anything wrong with this! C'mon,

The delegation made sense for several reasons, including the vast amount of digital talent that had been assembled. However, we couldn’t understand why Blue State Digital was in Iraq? This was a company that unlike AT&T, Twitter, Google, MeetUp and Wired, was relatively unknown and not an industry leader in really anything.It was then discovered that Blue State Digital is the official digital arm of the Democratic National Committee, Obama for America, and countless other liberal organizations, trade unions and political candidates. So why did they merit the distinction of serving in this delegation over say, GoDaddy.com executives, or other non-partisan website developers? Hoping it wasn’t about securing government funded contracts and business for a political pal, we waited to hear the reason. Today we have an answer.

Hera's a policy Obama has,"Embrace Americas' enemies, and condemn Americas allies." That blue state digital is just marxist, left wing, Soros funded, propaganda that will undermind Americas' interest with Iraqi government. Why would anybody think Obamas' track record would be any much better from now on?
