Obama declines comment on Afghan election
Afghanistan's election commission declared President Hamid Karzai a re-election victor on Monday after challenger Abdullah Abdullah pulled out of a scheduled runoff for this coming Saturday. The development capped a fraud-marred election that comes just as Obama considers sending more troops to Afghanistan. Obama was asked for his reaction to the election as he ended a meeting Monday with economic advisers at the White House. He said: "I'm sure I will have some comments in the weeks to come." But Obama said the purpose of his meeting was about creating jobs. 2009-11-02 17:34:47 GMT
