This is getting dangerously close to ruining McCain;s “clan” campaigner rep. Let Obama go overseas and to Iraq and watch the inevitable gaffes occur. That’s all…

First McCain opposes his own immigration bill, now he’s flip-flopping on everything. Why don’t we have a REAL Republican in this race? This guy is worse than Kerry!

Uh, pretty sure anywhere politicians go, it’s political.

For John McCain, the phoniest political construct of modern media hype to claim that he’s anything but political is total garbage.

He waffles this way and that, telling the media what they want to hear, all for the political spotlight.

For anybody to pretend McCain is about integrity or his beliefs instead of politics just needs to look at his record of breaking the laws of his own legislation and now being against legislation that had his own name on the bill… all because Republicans now need him to be more conservative in order to run for president.

This very statement by McCain is about politics.

So let’s stop pretending… hmmm McCain and Fox News.

Politicians are about politics. Those who say otherwise are lying… probably just because they aren’t all that sophisticated at what they do and need the help of the media to fair and balance things out for them.

Senator Mc Cain your recent trip to colombia and Mexico were just fact finders right not photo opportunities. You and your team even has a calendar up complaining that Senator Obama has not gone to Iraq and now that he takes the initiative to go you complain because you know the top of the line press corps is going along? By top of the line I of course leave out Fox since they just seem to be hired Republican guns or is it goons. Barack Obama has been calling for us to focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan since forever and now George W. and Senator Mc War are concurring amazing? No just par for the politics as usual crowd.

As a decorated Vietnam veteran who’s son an 82nd Airborne paratrooper just returned from Iraq I am confident that there are enough Americans wanting theright thing to happen in effect us getting our tails the hell out of Iraq and putting more heat where it always belonged in Afghanistan.

VOTE BARACK OBAMA YES WE CAN AMERICA SI SE PUEDE

DOES MCCAIN ALWAYS WAKE UP GRUMPY FROM HIS NAPS???… HE’D BE BETTER OFF GIVING ALL HIS PRESENTATIONS ON RADIO, HE DOESN’T LOOK HALF AS OLD THEIR, UNLESS YOU’RE STILL USING YOUR VICTROLA!!

Of course both are political trips…Obama by giving his impressions of Iraq BEFORE he left signaled completely that this “fact finding” mission was not at all a fact finding mission but simply to ’show his face and meet the military”…(that group of people he really does not truely respect)….and “completely political’ as Patton said in the movie…..and the trips else where in europe are 110% political. Obama is the most two-faced politician in american history……his manuvers are so obvious and calculated to reflect a complete far left liberal who will change his stripes easily before and after an election…you thought you could trust him…..well you are looking at someone who changes with the polls and is an example of a variety outward observations but with no integrity….How can anyone expect in the future to trust what ever Obama says. And worst yet, by making opinions and impressions before all the facts are in makes for a extremely dangerous manager of any type let alone president. The American voters MUST SEE THIS for the ruin of our nation will affect all for many years to come.

Obama’s trip to Europe will draw thousands and will prove that he can not only unite Americans, but the world. Just imagine thousands of Europeans throwing flowers at Obama. If McCain went there, it wouldn’t be flowers they would throw, but it would be a great photo op. I dare Mccain to go to Europe.

Of course these visits are political….Obama signaled to all that message when he gave his impressions and conclusions BEFORE he left to go to Iraq…..thus all visits are truely political and not “fact finding’…..if they were truely fact finding he would reserved his conclusions for after the visit. This reminds me of the Patton view of a meeting with english general as being…’strictly political”. Obama will meet with the military but he truely has cast away any idea of learning anything…by saying it is fact finding with already made conclusions Obama has totally disrespected those military commanders….Obama does not care what he hears…he already stated he did not support the surge and believes iraq is but a back-water to the war on terror. Obama has truely become clueless about the fight on terror.

Political? Nooooo! How could it be? Good grief, are people losing their minds? Any overseas trip by ANY politician is both fact finding and photo op. The right wing elite press has their panties in a big twist over Obama and the fact that their arch enemies from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN (insert your favorite network to whine about) are covering Obama and less so for McCain’s trip. And how, may I ask, is this instantly perceived and determined as “biased”?

Fact is, it’s Obama’s first real foray into this arena and not McCain’s. I am sure the press will be looking just as hard for Obama gaffes as they are good reactions that hosts will have. But I know it just eats at the right wing press to be feeling left out of the party. So quit whining and send Britt Hume, for crying out loud. Now that wasn’t so hard, was it. Or send that pinhead ambush guy that O’Reilly trots around.

Senator Obama said he was going on this trip to LISTEN to the commanders and the troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan. What is wrong with that?? McCain calling Senator Obama’s trip to the various countries political is crazy since his own trips to Canada, Columbia, and Mexico were political. My goodness, he even called Senator Obama a flipflopper!! Actually, McCain was campaigning in these countries; didn’t he discuss job outsourcing and trade with the Colombian President?? Why is he discussing these issues? He is NOT the President! And what business does McCain have demeaning his oponent on foreign soil?? McCain is one confused dude. Senator Obama in his 2002 speech was totally against going to war in Iraq, none of the terrorists that attacked the towers were from Iraq; there were NO proven WMDs; the inspectors had been there and had found nothing, however, bush and cronies insisted there were WMDs decided to attack anyway. Our troops have found no WMDs, weapons yes, WMDs no. Senator Obama oulined the consequences of going to war in Iraq. You know, if you google Senator Obama’s 2002 speech and compare it to what has gone on in Iraq and how our country has been negatively affected by this war, you will find the good senator from Illinois was right on target on what he foresaw before the war even started. You know what I call this? Wisdom and Vision. McCain, on the other hand, predicted the war would be easy and that it would be over in days, he stated this when we attacked. Yes, knocking Saddam out of power was relatively easy, and the administration did not plan nor did they prepare for what happened after Saddam fell. later in 2003, McCain again predicted the was was almost over and that it would be over in weeks or a few months. In 2004, McCain predicted the war would be over very soon. My question is: Where was McCains wisdom and Vision? He had none at that time, and he has none now. First it was that we’ll stay there for 100 years or however long it takes; then he said a few weeks ago, that the war would be over in 2013 and our troops would be home in 2013. The latest is that he will bring our troops when he decides when the war is over and will bring the troops home after he makes that decision. Flippity, floppy, flipflop, anyone?? McCain simply cannot be trusted. Oh, he recently said he knew how to fight wars!! Really, where did he get that experience? By being shot down and becoming a POW??? Umm. In his addled mind, that’s what he apparently believes since he keeps talking about it.

Of course these visits are political….Obama signaled to all that message when he gave his impressions and conclusions BEFORE he left to go to Iraq…..thus all visits are truely political and not “fact finding’…..if they were truely fact finding he would reserved his conclusions for after the visit. This reminds me of the Patton view of a meeting with english general as being…’strictly political”. Obama will meet with the military but he truely has cast away any idea of learning anything…by saying it is fact finding with already made conclusions Obama has totally disrespected those military commanders….Obama does not care what he hears…he already stated he did not support the surge and believes iraq is but a back-water to the war on terror. Obama has truely become clueless about the fight on terror.

Didn’t you folks read the article on Senator Obama having 300 people giving him reports on the world’s happenings, includting what is going on in Iraq and Afghanistan? Senator Obama is on top of things, he is not blowing hot air!! He is keenly aware of what is happening in these two countries. Based on this specific knowledge and awareness, he gave his Iraq and Afghanistan speech a few days ago. You really do not get it, do you? This man is extremely intelligent, smart, and informed. Sure, he makes some gaffes, but doesn’t everyone?? Senator Obama is a human being just like the rest of us, noone is saying he is perfect! He himself has said “I am not a perfect man.” So really, it is the folks that do not like him that call him the Messiah and expect perfection of him. It does not take much for these bigots to find fault in him, they’ll berate him if he crosses his eyes! Enough said. Other than McCain and his campaign are being hypocritical.

You Republicans complained about Obama not going to Iraq and now your complaing that he going to Iraq. STOP THE WHINNING!!!! OBAMA is going to have 5 times the press coverage that MCBUSH had when he went to Mexico and Colombia. You Republicans are HATERS!!!!!!!!!!

GO OBAMA 08

Political or not, in Europe HE is the one we want to see elected as the next president of the USA!!
The world is fed up with mr. W-ar and his successor mr. mcWar.
At the end the American people will decide but it’s no crime to say our thoughts BEFORE we
get another disaster coming our way.
Time for some POSITIVE thinking and REAL negotiations instead of fear and donkey tactics we have seen for the past 8 years.
David (Belgium)

I wonder why there’s a boatload of press going with Obama on his little political stunt trip, but no news media went with McCain the times that he went. The liberal bias in todays media is disgusting, disgraceful and highly unprofessional. It makes me sick.

David…The “thoughts” that Obama professed BEFORE his trip were political views based on inaccurate information and completely skewed by his very political position and that of Soros, moveon.org crowd and other far left wingers…it was not based on anything other than politics…THAT is the BIG difference between having an open mind and one that is COMPLETELY CLOSED BY POLITICS and your BASE. Like staring into the mirror and saying I against NAFTA but telling the Canadians…don’t worry..we really are OK with it,…or I will fillabuster the surveillance bill and then vote for it or I will accept campaign financing/oversight and then say no I am not. The continued makeover by the liberal media for this inexperienced leader…strip changer…far left winger (trying to look middle of the road), associator with un-american persons/terrorists knows no bounds…the media is so in the tank for this changling….maybe they will have explaination for all the position changes he has already and in the furutre. However, to reach conclusions and impressions about policy and positions BEFORE the trip/discovery IS EXTREMELY POOR LEADERSHIP AND IF A MODEL OF ANY ADMINISTRATION….WE AMERICANS ARE IN FOR AN AWAKENING OF CREDIBILITY CONCERNS THAT HAS NO LIMITS…AND AN IMPREACHMENT PROOF CONGRESS.

I wonder why a boatload of press is going with Obama on his little political stunt trip, yet no media accompanied McCain during the times that he went overseas to the war zones. The liberal bias in todays media is disgusting, disgraceful and highly unprofessional. It makes me sick.

Of course Obama’s trip to Europe is political. The rest of the world is fed up with the war in Iraq. The rest of the world is fed up with the failed policies of Geroge Bush. The rest of the world will welcome Obama’s change in direction. The rest of the world is wating for a US president that they can reason with. No more of this “MY WAY or the HIGHWAY” foreign policy will be tolerated.

I wonder why a boatload of press is going with Obama on his little political stunt trip, yet no media accompanied McCain during the times that he went overseas to the war zones. The liberal bias in todays media is disgusting, disgraceful and highly unprofessional. It makes me sick.

Europe is a Photo Op,But does He really need “300″ Foreign Policy Advisor’s and it’s
only been 900+ day’s If doesn’t get it by now were in trouble.

WHEN Obama makes any gaffes on this trip, you can be sure the media will not let them be publicized. They will excise, if necessary, anything he says or does that would reflect negatively on this junior Senator. This they have done repeatedly in the past and they have no reason to change now. This trip is just a big publicity stunt, orchestrated by the Obama campaign and eagerly latched onto by the ‘unbiased’ media.
Why don’t they just come out and put Obama stickers on their mics?

P.S.: By all means, lets appease the Europeans! Would you Europeans prefer Pamela Anderson, maybe, as our President? She is just about as experienced…and much better looking.

Europe doesnt want to see a bunch of egotistical old men running (ruining) the USA, intelligent people want OBAMA !

[...] didn’t have to be paying terribly close attention in order to see a bit of a double reverse volley from the McCain campaign this week re: Obama’s overseas trip. For some time now, Senator McCain and his surrogates [...]

Forget about FOX News’ talking points on the Obama trip to Europe, it all a ploy, lies, and distortions!

At the risk of being redundant, America’s economy will continue its downward decline, without any appreciable rectification, should we decide to prolong the policies of the last seven years by electing John McCain. The economy is driven by the globalization of technology. Per exemplar, we are immersed in the technological age of the twenty-first century, and it would be asinine to expect John McCain as our president, to effectively lead us through this technological age. Especially, given his own admission, that he is unable to use the Internet because he lacks the basic fundamentals needed.

I’m not being facetious, John McCain’s time has passed, and his ideas are rooted in a by-gone-era of thinking; America needs a young, robust, intellectually vibrant, patriotic, technologically savvy, and ambitious president to rid us of the country’s current state, and that president should be Harvard graduate, Senator Barack Obama!

Respectfully Submitted,
Mr. Gerald M. Millner

During McCain’s trip, there was something big going on in the United States called the Democratic Primary race. That is why he was not covered as much. McCain going overseas has been seen before, so no big deal and it is probably a good thing more attention was not paid to him considering the gaffes he had not i.e. knowing the difference between Shia and Sunnis who is training who. Recent gaffes with Czechoslavakia, which has not existed in some amount of years (16 years), etc. etc. His foreign policy “expertise” may have suffered more. We know that Bush was a “C student”, McCain graduated the bottom five in his class out of 899. Wow, I vote for an intelligent man who graduated with honors who may actually think before acting. But of course Bush and McCain are oblivious to something called thinking. I guess ignorance is bliss. McCain, my friend, just quit whining!!!!

With a capital P. What a waste of campaign funds. Not many over there will vote for Obama.

Europe needs to get a life change your own corrupt people and continue to do nothing for the world, the US will handle our own problems by Americans. But if you do need some advise on how to stay hidden under your desks we can send you Obama for a while to advise you. After that we can send in our warmongering military to save your buts again.

It is funny how the right will invoke the Europeans in every argument when it proves their point, in such things as immigration or the economy. However they don’t seem to care much about how we look in the eyes of the Europeans.

The only question is will Obama take his good friend Reverend Wright along as his spiritual advisor?! I know he’s dumped him, but things could get dicey in Iraq, he might want his old friend with him.

BTW, check out that website, http://www.notwrightforamerica.com and get their classic bumper sticker FREE! We need to remind people about Obama and Rev. Wrong!

Oct. 18, 1999 | PHOENIX — GOP presidential candidate John McCain’s wife Cindy took to the airwaves last week, recounting for Jane Pauley (on “Dateline”) and Diane Sawyer (on “Good Morning America”) the tale of her onetime addiction to Percocet and Vicodin, and the fact that she stole the drugs from her own nonprofit medical relief organization.

When you live in glass house, you don’t throw stones.

Mrs. McCain’s position in these terms. She was the privileged wife of a prominent family and spouse of an important politician, a person who had her own position of prestige and power. Should she not be held at least as accountable for her actions as an uneducated inner-city drug user? After all, she could enter drug treatment at any time she chose, unlike many drug users who find themselves in prison.

Moreover, Mrs. McCain was violating a position of trust by stealing from a charitable organization, using its money and medical expertise to fuel her drug use. Is this not morally more reprehensible than simply purchasing drugs illegally?

Finally, Mrs. McCain was the mother of four children at the time she admits to using drugs–between 1989 and 1992. Her children were born in 1984, 1986, 1988 and 1991. In other words, Cindy McCain was using drugs while raising small children, one of whom she adopted while she was an addict. In most states, family services will remove children from a woman who is known to be an active drug addict, and she would certainly not be allowed to adopt a child while addicted.

John McCain is a hawk in the drug war. He advocates stricter drug laws, penalties and enforcement against drug sellers. He has had nothing to say about redressing our punitive approach toward drug users. Of course, McCain also supports family values. Yet if John and Cindy McCain were not well-off and influential, they might not have a family at all. McCain’s lack of concern for street drug users contrasts sharply with the support and understanding his wife received.

This whole media thing with obama has been a joke since day one, he thinks he is already president, Lord help us if he wins. The media is trying to brainwash america over obama but it won’t work.

Obama = zero integrity

McCain = zero integrity

Congress = cowards and slackers

Senate = cowards and slackers

You do the math.

I’m a littel confused… this whole trip is political, ie, to counter the image and argument that that a sixth grader knows more about foreign policy and national security than Barack Obama. I know it, you know it, McCain obviously knows it, are you telling me Obama doesn’t know and suggesting the truth of it to him or his supporters is unfair because it’s true? What are you kidding me?

[...] has hammered Obama repeatedly in recent days as the Illinois Democrat prepares for his much-publicized trip abroad, though he [...]

McCain and the Republicans are getting desperate and they are trying to set a trap for Obama. If he goes to Iraq and changes his outlook due to the progress over there then McCain is going to say Obama is a flip flopper on this issue. If Obama maintains his original position for a troop withdrawal, then McCain is going to say that Obama hasn’t learn a thing after going to Iraq.

A rational and sensible thinking president had to be flexible in his positions about the state of affairs in this country and the world. Obviously some people don’t get because they are so mired up in the politics.

This is a non-issue just like the Brandenburg gate issue that was started by someone in the Bush administration and promoted by the republican party. I wouldn’t be surprised if Obama makes his speech at that huge soccer stadium in Berlin. I’m told that I could hold up to 125,000 people. WOW!!!!! can you imagine the impact this would have for Obama.

Wait till Obama gets crowds that rival rock concerts. Then we’re going to hear from the Republicans-do you want the Europeans to pick your president? (attack mode). They probably have what if attack scenarios for every possible event. Plus now that they branded him as being out of touch on foreign policy because he HASN’T traveled, the new mantra will be “Why is he traveling overseas when there are so many pressing problems here at home? He’s so out of touch - on a holiday in Europe when Americans are suffering.”

It just goes on and on and on…

The reality is that the Republicans are worried that this trip will provide a huge political advantage for Obama, because lets remember, the majority of Britains and Germans were against the war in Iraq, and many of them feel like Bush espouses an imperalistic perception of the U.S. (The way he threaten countries with economic sanctions).

Obama in essence, is the anti-thesis of Bush. McCain is, well, more of the same as Bush. Everytime Bush travels to Germany and Britain there are huge protests. You may not see it on American tv but I live in London and have travelled to Munich frequently and the sentiment against Bush is very bad. You will see the oppposite when Obama travels over there.

The Republicans will attempt to demonize the Europeans if Obama receives a positive reception.

McCain is doing his best to get Obama elected.

Wow!! I’m noticing 2 things here…………..
(1) Some of you people really need to learn to proof read b4 you submit these posts. Good Lord!!! Your english teachers cannot be proud.
(2) You McCain backers/Obama haters are such whiners & mean spirited!! All you do is cry about the media because they don’t give your guy the coverage you think he deserves. Well here’s a newsflash for you McCain backers/Obama haters……………McCain isn’t really all that interesting. That’s why he’s not getting any media coverage. This is 2008. This is the era of instant news coverage from 147 different news outlets the second anything happens. McCain is a stiff. He needs to loosen up & take the stick out of his behind & show some charisma. If this were a boxing match Obama would be played by Floyd Mayweather Jr & McCain would be played by Arturo Gatti. It’s not even a contest.
We, as a people, need to focus of the real issues at hand & stop whining about the media. None of you know 4 sure what kind of president either of these cats are gonna be. Personally I’m backing Obama cuz I think he’s the real deal.

OBAMA 08!!! SI SE PUEDE!!! LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE AMERICA!!!

Sorry to disappoint you homie

Southern Dem \ Republicans…were have you been the last eight years??? You have the audacity to talk about Obama will bring down the nation. News flash…the nation has already been brought down. Our dollar isn’t worth $%#@!, housing, jobs going over seas, gas prices, etc. It’s time to bring back intelligence to the oval office that is for the United States of America…not a New World Order for the rich. It’s time to get rid of the Federal Reserve and the crooks that own it. People…learn about the Federal Reserve and how our government work. Republicans and Democrats maybe a thing of the past.

Obama’s trip confirms his view of the world. He wants a global approach to everything, including his political policy. Does he respect the sovereignty of nations? Ther si a distinction between just visiting a country perhaps to assess how you might approach the relational aspect there, and making a campaign rally in a specific country. Why should American leaders inject their politics in foreign nations? Is that the height of political ambition? Be a global president?

It is NOT difficult to disagree with the opinion of someone with substance, character, experience and qualifications when you do not agree with their opinion on certain issues.
However, it is very difficult to find a point to criticize about a pile of dirt when everyone already knows it’s a pile of dirt.

Southern Dem, please stop spewing your lies!! It one one of Hilliary’s camaign gurus who called the Canadian higher ups (in Canada) and advised them not to pay attention to what Hilliary was saying, she was only doing it for political reasons. The Canadian heads verified this. A usual, you and your ilk prefer to run your mouths as you are suffering from a severe case of diarrea of the mouth. If you are going to comment, stick to the truth. Just because YOU say so, does not make it so! It only shines the light on your ignorance and downright lies.

The media follows Obama because people watch the darn TV when he’s on. They would follow an alligator around with a camera if people would watch.

McCain is not getting covered because he’s like watching paint dry. I’m not sure which is cause and effect, but the only thing he does that gets covered is call Obama names. Maybe he calls him names because that gets his picture on the tube.

I know he spoke at an electric car plant and at the NAACP, but I don’t care. I read his plans on his website and I’ll be darned if I can figure out how the country is going to change from the Bush years.

It seems to me that what we get with John McCain is Bush with better prosecution of our military conflicts - which most of us don’t want to be in in the first place. We get it.

We just don’t like it.

One thing I would like to ask where is Mccains flag pin, never see him wearing one and everyone made such a fuss when Obama didnt wear one.

Thank you David, wish you could vote here!! Mr. McWar is not Bush’s successor and doubt very much he will.

Obama 08!

Why is Obama the flip-flopper acting like a president, and doing this junkets overseas at the expense of the taxpayers? Maybe his entourage are paid by the tax payers too. 143 days of experience at the senate doing Earmarks!

Looks like McCain does not like Senator Obama’s rallies and speeches either!! Remember Hilliary angrily and near shouting, “enough with the rallies, enough with the speeclhes!!, yet, she herself was giving a rally and a speech at the exact time she was uttering her angry words. People are just too funny!! LOL. I don’t like your rallies and I don’t like your speeches because they attract thousands upon thousands of people, like 50 thousand, even 75 thousand; that’s why I do not like your rallies and speeches!! They get more attention than I do and it is not fair…..Wah, Wah, Way, the media is not giving me the attention I deserve, Wah, Wah, Wah. Come on, McCain you have been bashing Senator Obama for taking only one trip to Iraq. Well, now that he is going, you are bashing him for going (and to Afghanistan as well). You are bashing him because he is going to give speeches (therefore rallies). What do you want Senator Obama to do? Run HIS campaign to suit you??? Senator Obama OWNS his campaign and is doing a super job (BEST IN U.S. HISTORY)!! Senator McCain, you do not see him butting into your campaign and telling you how you should run it!! What happened to your “I will run a clean campaign, I will run on the issues”?? You spend more time on personal attacks than you do on the issues!!! Flippity Floppity, Flippity Floppity, Flip-Flop, as the worldl turns!!

Fox Embed, I think you put bug in my system so that I could not write my blog. There is always a scrit error.

n. pELOSI promised the American people, “If you put ‘ME’ in power (elect dems) ‘I’ will bring down the price of gasoline”(period)

She did not say she would ‘try’ or ‘work toward’ she said she “would”
- What did you get?
- Lies - - higher and higher gas prices – and now she would have you believe if you listen (follow) her she will correct gas prices by denying this country the ability
- to produce its own … instead of purchasing from countries that don’t care or hate the American people ?

See the film at 10:00 - - - Show her we can think, listen to Gene Green (D-TX)
pELOSI is out to destroy this country in an attempt to put dems in office…
Save the country - - - ——————– send pELOSI packing…

OK,OK,OK

So now I hear we will have a time line for withdrawing troops sorry (a time HORIZON)LOL are you kidding me. FLIP FLOP REPUB’S WHATS NEXT?

latest news, Senator McCain picks Dick Cheney as his Vp.
why not his running the same Game plan as the last 8 years.

change coming soon

All I can say is this one of the recent polls showed that if the election were today out of 600 people polled this is what they found. If it was between Obama, McCain, or a third term with Bush who would the people vote for. Well 2% were for Obama, 16% were for McCain, and 82% were for Bush a Third term. The media does not like Bush so they are always finding fault with him yet the people in this poll spoke on who they wanted to see win in the election. It just show us that both Obama and McCain need to step up to the plate and show us what they can do to make this great Nation like it once was. You know it is like everything else the Media wants us to hear certain things and they never report the news of the events that are successful. I blame the media more for all of the negative things that are happening in the world and not those things that make one proud to be an American. This is why I will only listen to Fox News as well as Glen Beck the let us know exactly what is going on. So thank you Fox News.

Duh, let’s get real, they are politicians, unless they are traveling on vacation, it is political and even then, there may be something they have to do that could be considered “political”. This is what they do whether on a trip as a senator or a presumptive nominee. Everytime McCain went overseas, it could be considered political. He has done everything that he is now blasting Obama for. You cannot have it both ways McCain. Stop whining, it is just psychological.

He is just really worried about the attention Obama will get. Unites States is really hurting as far as respect around the world. We used to be well respected and now many countries just wave us off and say we have no room to talk about anything. Anything that can boost the U.S. is helpful.

The Iraq war is very unpopular, not only in the U.S. but abroad. So anyone against it is going to be cheered.

The only trap set for Obama is the very one he sets for himself by being shallow, disrespectful of the troops’ sacrifices and making conclusions before all the facts are in. All of these liberal “virtues” of “shooting himself in the foot” are examples of inexperience, arrogance and a sense of “saviorness” which is well beyond anything imaginable of anyone other than a demigod or the like. Whether this persona is being created by his handlers/operatives and/or exaggerated by the “in the tank media” or are truely real is immaterial…it has no place in presdiential politics for it suggests an pure propaganda approach to “sell Obama” to the voters reflecting attributes which are not compatible with a President.

==============================================================
Bush is a visionary when it comes to understanding the threat of islamafacism. Europe does not yet see the threat or are too cowardly to say it.

It sounds like the obama court jesters are out in force today. Obamas trip is all about obama and nothing more. The man could not care about the war and the american people. He is the biggest narssasist I have ever seen in the public eye. The big problem is he has everyone duped into thinking that he is worth listening to and voting for. I really think we are in trouble.

Obviously its political, even his economic policy is political this article summarizes his economic policy: http://stockparadise.blogspot.com/2008/07/outrage-over-new-mccain-ad.html

Who cares who the Europeans prefer … if it was up to France, our next President would be Jerry Lewis. How about focusing on who has the experience, judgement and character to protect us and bring prosperity to Americans … not someone who in the eleventh hour, finally tries to establish foreign policy credentials, in a one week visit, as a transparent political ploy to get himself elected. Where was Obama, when he was supposed to chair the congressional committee on Afghanistan, and never had a single meeting. Why did Obama vote ‘present’ over 100 times in the senate? Even if he manages a political rally in the Roman Coliseum, he’s still just an inexperienced politician, who is not qualified to be President of the United States of America !!!
