Obama’s Globetrotting

And who is paying for the trip??? tax payers ?
will all his 300 foreign policy advisors go with him?

You know, Frieda, McCain’s recent trip was paid for by the tax payers.

jp,
Just wait to see the elevated opinion the World has of Obama.

TerryDo,
Obama is ahead in the European polls 57% to 72% over McCain. You will surprised just how well received Obama will be here. The crowds will be huge!!

FRANK -
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU. WHAT A COLOSSAL WASTE OF $$$! I CAN’T THINK OF BETTER WAYS TO SPEND THIS MONEY. OBAMA IS ONLY A SENATOR AND HAS NO CLOUT.
THIS WHOLE ELECTION MAKES ME SICK. BOTH OF THEM MCCAIN AND OBAMA. I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WE ALLOW THE MEDIA TO CONTROL THIS ELECTION AND PEOPLE ARE FAWNING OVER A GUY WHO HAS BEEN A SENATOR FOR 3 YEARS AND 1.5 HALF OF THOSE YEARS HE HAS BEEN CAMPAIGNING. NEITHER OBAMA AND MCCAIN WILL NOT GET PENNY FOR ME. I NEED ALL THE MONEY I HAVE FOR MY FAMILY.

How about Obama take Rev Wright, Ayres, and Rezko along. They could all play poker between stops.

don’t hate…….appreciate

THUS SPAKE OBAMA (Colorado Springs on July 2nd)
We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
YES – A POLICE STATE. WHAT ELSE DO YOU EXPECT?

****************************************** Get a grip! You do understand about about the State Department, headed by a Secretary of State and National Security Agency as well as Dept. of Homeland Security, right?
You know, all the departments we currently have, the difference from what it is now would be that the people are qualified and required to actually do their jobs.

Frieda — somebody has to write his teleprompter bites.

It sure is nice having one of the candidates who actually knows how to read from one.
Along with how to use a computer, cell phone, blackberry, Ipod, etc, etc. You get the drift….It can be tough on McCain trying to manage a campaign by telegraph and pony express.

McCain also went on a trip through Europe and the Middle East last March. I don’t see what the big deal is.
He also was criticized: “McCain’s sojourn has drawn criticism as a taxpayer-funded campaign boost that will enable the presumptive Republican White House nominee to command the world stage while Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama tangle back home to head the Democratic ticket.” (McClatchy Washington Bureau, “Is Lindsey Graham auditioning for VP?”, 3-17-08)

“Obama is ahead in the European polls 57% to 72% over McCain. You will surprised just how well received Obama will be here. The crowds will be huge!!”
Excellent. They can keep Obama there as long as they like. We have work to do here and he is a distraction.
You’re probably too young to remember Nixon’s trip to Egypt. He was adored. Meanwhile, he was being impeached.

Jake,
Your use of the word “deigned” is amusing. Appears you aren’t very happy with their attitudes.

what is going on —mccain critizes obama for not going to iraq—and when he does mccain does the same—is this sone new logic–or just the fact that he is old and cannot remember from day to day.

“was the last 8 years of failure not enough–take a good look at your candidate”
I have. She is working hard to elect this ear candy the DNC foisted on us. Go figure.

Listen to the Haters drinking Haterade!
Gotta Love It!
That means Obama is handily winning. Not only with the MAJORITY of Americans, but with the MAJORITY of the world as well.
The funny thing is the cynics don’t have any other tools at their disposal to defeat Obama except whine. Errr, IT’S NOT WORKING!
You can’t stop the inevitable……
POTUS OBAMA
GODSPEED OBAMA! GOD WILL PROTECT YOU!
OBAMA 08 – ITS INEVITABLE!!!

Another funny thing………
McCain will have the United States all to himself while the future POTUS goes out on a diplomatic “Meet and Greet”. Leaving him here all alone equates to leaving Grandpa alone in the house with no instructions on how to operate anything.
Unfortunately, he’ll be scraping for any news he can get because all of the major players in media will either be with Obama or covering his every move in full and reporting back.
MCcain WHO?
Man, IS THIS ELECTION OVER YET? I’m toast….
J. McCan’t
POTUS OBAMA – ITS INEVITABLE!!!

len,
LOL, great post!

Yestarday McCain said we have suceeded in Iraq. Today, he said he expects the presidential election this fall will increase the occurrence of “spectacular” terror attempts in Iraq.
So if we HAVE suceeded, how are they able to lunch this attacks?

Mcain is ready to use the FEAR CARD !!! remember what charlie black said???

Frieda – Obama is not taking his 300 advisors with him. He’s meeting with them BEFORE he travels. And McCain travelled on the taxpayers’ dime to Iraq NINE times – not to mention Colombia just the other week. I didn’t hear you complaing then. Don’t be a hypocrite.

Wasn’t McCain just complaining that Obama hadn’t been to Iraq yet? Now he’s complaing that Obama IS going to Iraq? Complain, complain, complain… McCain is just sounding like a cranky old man instead of a statesman like Obama.

Republicans are just jealous that people actually care about what Obama has to say… unlike crazy old man McCain.

Sarah Talks Sense
If you can’t see a difference here, you should go back into the kitchen and leave the talk to adults.

Some people should grow up cause I can sit here and type.
KEATING 5
KEATING 5
Over and over but that is dumb. Besides at least Mcsame was inmplicated in the keating 5. At least it would make more sense to do that because Mccain is GUILTY of it.

billw,
Seriously, no one cares who you vote for.

The arrogant audacity of “presumptive Democratic nominee” Barack Obama continues. How many foreign languages does Obama speak? Since he wrongly chastied Americans for lacking multiple language skills when they travel abroad, can we assume that Obama will be speaking to everyone in other countries in their native language? LOL! Obama has not even mastered the English language as of yet.
The Obamarama has been a media driven illusion. The media will NOT decide this election, the people will.
WHY are the three “major” (I use that term loosely) network anchors (INCLUDING ABC”s Charlie Gibson) going to Europe to cover the Obama visit? They have not gone with McCain on his trips abroad. The unfair media bias continues. It’s appalling.
Obama is neither qualified or electable.
The Democrats are foolish if they nominate Obama.
The most qualified and most electable candiate is Hillary Clinton. The superdelegates, who will decide on the nominee and vote in late August in Denver at the DNC convention have a responsibility to nominate the most electable candidate. That candidate is an shall remain Hillary Clinton. Hillary has already won the popular vote by winning MORE votes than ANY candidate of ANY party in history! Wow, Hillary ROCKS!
If the Dems remain foolish and nominate Obama, put your country first and party second and vote for John McCain in 08 and Hillary in 2012.

I hope the Europeans are as bored with him as millions of us are.

LOL! You are in for a real eye-opener!

The audacity of arrogance! Imagine – taking a European Vacation (with a side trip to Iraq and Afghanistan because McCain shamed him into it, and why not throw in a few other Middle-East Countries for good measure!) while most of America is suffering because of the economy, high gas prices and other prices! Sure, Obama will hit it off in Europe – he thinks he is European. Wonder if he is going to take a crash course in German and French so he does not embarrass us by just saying “Marci beaucoup” and “Danka”! Lol! The man wants to be a Rock Star as well as POTUS. Wake up, America!

So, Obama is taking his brother love traveling salvation show to Europe and the Middle East! What a spectacle. This whole election is just one big circus. Send in the clowns — all 300 of them to help the inexperienced upstart Senator get up to speed on foreign policy! Former President Bill Clinton had it right all along: “Give me a break. This whole thing is the biggest fairytale I’ve ever seen.”

Hello guys am sick and tired of everybody on this blog critizing Obama or even McCain for that matter, people should take their time and study the programme each have for your country then decide which candidate you will vote for instead of name calling. The world can not be viewed through one is wrong and the other is wright what you continue to get is analchy compromise is the solution to the problem in the world for instance if Isreal will not shift its position on Palestine then we are in for another 50years of the same so my dear people please let us have peaceful world instead of war war which is more misery for poor and vulnerable people there is enough poverty in the world for now and the whole world is looking up to America to lead again am european may God bless America.

Akeem wrote “people should take their time and study the programme each have for your country then decide which candidate you will vote for instead of name calling” I agree, the adgendas the candidates propose is very important BUT the character and integrety of the candidate is just as important. How can you agree with a fairytale adgenda of a candidate with no experience that has shown this all through his campaign? Obama has changed his policys and ideals on so many topics from Rev. Wright to Iraq WHEN it became obvious his position was not in the best interest of his CAMPAIGN. The media gives him a free ride and more coverage than $1 billion of campaign ads could provide. Honestly, Dan Quayle didn’t get by with as many mis-statements as Obama has, think about it. He really is treated like a “rock star”. Tim Russert (bless him) was the only person to confront him on the FACTS. And then, with out a teleprompter and notes, Obama looked absolutley INEPT. So what I’m saying is promises mean nothing, its the person behind them that matters.
Concerning the middle east i agree with James D, they definitly are NOT a “turn the other cheek” people, they are the extreme opposite. Sadly I don’t see it ever changing.
And yes, GOD bless America….

Barack Obama made clear he didn’t think it made sense for him to speak at the Brandenburg Gate,” Obama foreign policy adviser Denis McDonough said. Obama thought it seemed “too presumptuous,” McDonough said.
That is such a lie, he did want to speak at the Brandenburg Gate, everyone else in the world thought it was ‘too presumptuous’.
I guess after the polls said it was too presumptuous he decided it was too.
Hey Obama, KEEP THE CHANGE.

his little pea brain is so full already, he can no longer comprehend new data. If he didn’t get it before…..
he just can’t seem to get it now…. SOME PLACES YOU GET INVITED TO.. NOT PRESUME YOU BELONG THERE! NOBODY…… NOBODY will miss you BHO!!!

My friends….who paid for the trip? One part, the US, as for any Senator who has gone to Iraq, as McCain did several times. All of McCain’s junkets around the world for “fact finding” were paid for by….YOU, the taxpayer. The rest of the Obama trip was paid for by the campaign, in the campaign plane.
I am from Arizona, and I do not want McCain as President. Why? He wants to “win” a war, but he can’t get the facts straight about who we are even “fighting”! He does not know the difference between Suni and Shiite (sp?), mistakenly said that Iraq had a border with Pakistan, thinks that Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia are still around. This is a guy who is totally confused about foreign policy, sheesh, he can’t even get the players straight.
I don’t want this guy even driving my car. He is easily confused. If he gets a doe in the headlights look and pauses for EIGHT seconds before recovering enough to respond to a question from a reporter about birth control pills being covered by health insurance; how is he going to handle the aggressive questioning he will get from Congress, world leaders, etc.?!
