Unlike the Bush visit...
Unlike the Bush visit, I doubt if any of the Foreign Ministers will call Obama an "Idiot" like they did when they first met Lil` Bush.
This is a first step in regaining our International Stature. Lets hope it continues.
As long as there are no awkward and unwanted backrubs
of German Chancellors, he should do fine.

Hey, Angela said she wouldn't resist a back rub from Barack.
Some women are just attracted to brains.
Once you go Barack...
=)

Of course no name calling
they know they can bowl right over Obama to get what they want. He's a patsy, and they know it.
That's what was said about JFK...
See Cuban Missile Crisis.
everyone knows pimpbama is an
idiot.
so they don't have to call him that. It is a given.
Again, he is nothing more than a political pimp...
Obama
Why doesn't the Statesman come right out and endorse him now. They're really promoting him regardless of the baggage he carries.
Oh, because
they like to rub it in your face everyday.
Rubbed in your face???
Nothing wrong with getting Bush rubbed in your face on a daily basis. ;)
Apparently you misunderstand the primary purpose of Bush.
;-)
CerservoDem, Have you heard..
Have you heard about the Australian Kiss?
It's like the French Kiss,
only "down under"...
;)
LOL, saigon.
=)
Just tryin' to keep it real ConservoDem
=)
Baggage? Obama has nothing on the complete set of
Samsonite that McCain is lugging around! Let me explain "news" to you. When you are a political figure and you DO something, like go to the ME, that's news. When you do nothing but b**ch about the coverage the other guy is getting, at a half full event in Nowhere, PA, that's not.

Hey, he did play golf with an ex-president!
But I guess hanging out with another failed Republican just isn't that newsworthy.
Bet McCain wishes now he'd kept his mouth shut when he called on Obama to go to Iraq!
Wow
Not only does this guy look Presidential but he acts Presidential. Oneopinion, you need to get a grip and open that narrow mind of yours.
Unfortunately he is acting like he is already the president
When was the last time a presidential candidate did a foreign tour like this?
Thank goodness someone is acting like a president!!!!!!
There's a first time for everything -- Besides, McSame asked him to do it.
Why "unforunate"?
I think it's great, the Apparent Next President is already acting "Presidential" a refreshing change from the past 7+ years...
Kinda like getting a "leg up" so to speak.
Remember the last inevitable candidate?
The public soured on her arrogance enough for a rookie like Obama to squeak past her. Novermber is a long ways away. Even with the grossly uneven press coverage McCain is still doing pretty good. And the Grossly uneven coverage cannot last forever.
Because of the 'grossly uneven press coverage'
McSame is still doing pretty well.
But you're right, when it gets down to the n*t cuttin', the Republican owned media will start a full blown cattle drive. McSame has a better than even chance to buy the empire.
You've said that before
How in the world can you talk about "Republican owned media" ??? To what exactly are you refering?
Certainly not the big 3 networks, plus not CNN, not MSNBC; they all fawn over Obama as if they are debutantes waiting for him to take them to the prom. We can only say Fox News gives any credit to the Republican side of things. TRY to deny that the media is in love with Obama!! If you actually believe that McCain gets preferential treatment, you are living in la-la land.
I'm afraid (yes afraid) people like you and all the other people who are unashamedly in love with Obama are getting a big snow job ... you are being manipulated by a brilliant marketing campaign which is "Obama for president."
Idahogal, who owns CNN? Who owns MSNBC?
Huge corporations (Time-Warner & GE). You think they are biased left because faux news says so. They are first entertainers, but their bias is clearly right. Keitho is the reflection of billo for entertainment reasons.
If the media isn't still subtly behind McSame in Oct. it'll be because Obama has assured them he's as or more pro-corporation than McSame.
As opposed
to the crap marketing campaign which is "McCain for president?"
Face it, they're both liars, cheats, scoundrels and generally worthless. Obama is just better at hiding it.
PJ, how can you make that assertion?
The last few weeks have been epic failures for McCain. Czechsolvakia comment, Sudan/Somolia gaffe, showing up in PA to 2 reporters and a less than half full event in PA, Phil Gramm, mistaken comment about Anbar "awakening".
Compare this weeks key photos. Grumpy old men McCain and Bush the Elder puttering about in a golf cart. Obama and Petreaus in Iraq.
http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm
What? GHWB didn't give up golf to support the troops?
How unamerikan! McSame needs to sacrifice too. NO MORE GOLF!
And here's the funny part CD
They weren't playing golf, just rolling large around the Kennebunkport compound, 2 SS men in the back instead of clubs, that walkin' is hard on the old hips and joints ya know.
Another note in Bushworld news, Junior was down in TX this week making cracks about Laura looking for a house in Dallas. Yep, you guessed it, since the good ol' boy persona is no longer needed, the Crawford "Ranch" is out. Movin' on up.
http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm
Too funny, GJ. I guess I gotta forgive the senile old coots.
My joints hurt, too, & mickey has 10 years on me.
Yeah, but he promises to wear a flag pin on his golf shirt...
Because we all know that is the only act that distingushes a true patriot from a traitor.
when a dog
gets a leg up, I don't want to be standing downstream or downwind.
McCain has been to the ME several times
IIRC correctly Clinton went to Ireland/GB, and Carter made some sort of International travel during his campaign. Often candidates had done quite a bit of travel under a previous post (i.e. Bush the Elder as VP).
http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm
McCain has been the the Middle East since the nomination?
That doesn't stick out in my head.
Whaat does stick out of your head?
;-)
Yep, he was there in March.

WHEN is Obama
going to visit Vietnam like McCain did? If he goes now, he'll be back in time for the 2016 elections.
Good one, mcpony. Shortly after McSame left
Vietnam became a quite successful nation. I believe there may be a connection. If Obama visits I'm sure he'll be met and honored with the same enthusiasm that the German's gave him. (I understand McSame's old guard considers him a friend and would welcome him back)
Dear John Mc Cain:
Could you please provide the next American President with more of your sage advice. Your suggestion that he embark on a world fact-finding tour has worked out so well for him that we are eager to receive as many new suggestions as may be convenient to you. We wish we could have been of as much help to you in the year 2000, when you were a viable candidate for president. Let us know if there is anything the new President can do to ease you golden years.

The reason BHO is so well received in Germany and France?
All three of them hate the USA. Had he not brought up the fall premise that the United States tortures and therfore needs to quit, it might have been OK.
Here is a letter from a soldier that saw what BHO was about-
Hello everyone,
> As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass

> who is the commander here at Bagram.

> As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off

Neo, you've been punked, this is a fake.
And Hannity couldn't even get the whole "they love him because he's a socialist" BS past Frank Luntz tonight.
Check out this video with Obama shaking hands in Kuwait, Eating with the soldiers in Iraq, and yes shaking hands with the troops in Afgainistan:

Don't bet on it....
I think what is most interesting is that there will be a liberal outcry that is a lie, since that is how they operate, then there will be denial, not because they don't believe it, but because they do.
