Comments on: Upcoming Overseas Trip Key For Obama

Democratic Presidential Candidate Has Little Room For Error In Trip To Europe And Mideast

Drop your bombs BEFORE you leave the carrier.....
Now there is a FINE qualification for commander in chief....

[magnetrack]

It''s a little late for training. Is this his semester abroad?

A vote for John McCain is not a vote for G.W. Bush as these hyphenated-Americans want you to believe.

G.W. Bush will be long retired down on his ranch in God''s country.

No, a vote for John McCain will in fact be a vote against the most left wing pinko bunch of libtards, and for sure the most inexperienced bunch of libtards to ever set sights on this nations White House.

Wake up America....Vote against Sen. NOwayBama the rookie libtard in November.

[jongood65]

If any of you doubt how much Sen. NOwayBama and his, "Just Say NO" leadership is costing you at the pump nowadays, I suggest you look at what happened to the price of crude just two days following G.W. Bush lifting the Executive Order that bans drilling offshore and ANWR.

This 50%-American, #1 most left wing pinko in the whole US Senate hates America so much, that he''''s already defined his foreign policy and war plans before he even left for Iraq.

So why would anyone be surprised to hear this same inexperienced rookie spouting the silly argument that we can''''t drill our way out of this.

Folks, if this is the kind of "CHANGE" you want for America, all I gotta say, how very un-American of you.

Ooooh, the GOP is getting wrestless.

Look, the reason for all the hoopla is that Barak Obama IS news. He is historic, exciting and brilliant.

I''m sorry your candidate looks so...well, geriatric in comparison. But then again, MY party didn''t nominate him!

[witchsince91]

I SAY, CUT UP A BUNCH OF PORK(THOSE FOLKS HATE PORK) IN LITTLE 1 INCH SQUARE PIECES, AND AIR-DROP IT OVER DIAPER-HEAD TERRITORY OF THE MID-EAST.

AS I UNDERSTAND IT,..THE "BAD GUYS" WILL START KILLING THEMSELVES LEFT AND RIGHT CAUSE IT GOES AGAINST ALLAHS TEACHING.

I WISH SOMEONE COULD FIND SOMETHING TO DO TO THE CATHOLICS AND SOUTHERN BAPTISTS,...SORRY,..I MEAN "BORN AGAIN NOODLE HEADS."

[briannorwood]

I think McCain has had a recurrence of cancer over his left eye.

I saw a closeup of him yesterday on CNN and that thing he covers with mascara and makeup is definitely getting bigger, to the point that is is causing his skin over his eyebrow to crinkle.

When is he going to let us all know about it?

[scottyusa]

This will be a traveling circus. According to Fox News all 3 networks are sending their anchors with him. That sort of coverage is normally reserved for sitting presidents. Kind of tells you blatantly where the networks are coming from. This is the first time in my memory that a candidate takes his campaign overseas with the media, tongues hanging, in hot persuit.

[briannorwood]

Oh the poor GOP. McSame should be careful what he asks for.

Obama is going to be such a smashing success in Europe and the daily sound bites are going to be fantastic.

Then, in Iraq and Afghanistan, where there is a more than healthy number of minority soldiers, he is sure to get a thunderous welcome as well.

Compare that to McSame marching around the market with Blackhawk helicopters and roof snipers and kevlar and his lapdog Liebermann whispering corrections in his ear.

The contrast will be dramatic!

Ooooh how inexperienced. Perhaps Barak should have requested a visit to Czechoslovakia instead! LOL

[cbs4me3]

Frightening. Less than 4 months until the election and Obama is seeking foreign policy experience and trying to demonstrate some semblance of being a commander. We are also told he has 300 foreign policy advisers; this is frightening since no two can agree on anything. Doesn''t America have anyone with foreign policy experience and demonstrated the ability to be commander in chief. The answer, of course, is John McCain.

His first trip overseas and already Dumbo is dropping the ball
1 - Obama has had to backtrack, but Palestinians and Israelis have been left wondering if he really understands the complexity of their situation.
2 - The Obama campaign''s request to speak at the Brandenburg Gate - made an icon of freedom by President Reagan''s famous "tear down this wall" speech addressing then Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev, has been rejected. That location, the German government says, is reserved for elected presidents.
How hilarious is this inexperienced and questionable character?

[realpatriot1]

His comments about Jeruselem were a mistaken attempt to pander to American Jewish voters. Other than that, he would be hard pressed to botch this trip worse than McCain did his 2 trips to Iraq. After all, Obama knows the difference between Sunnis & Shiites and that gives him a leg up.

The German government had no problem with him speaking at the brandenburg Gate until Bush put pressure on the Chancellor at the G8 Summit to nix the speech. If the Gate is reserved for elected Presidents then I guess that eliminate Bush too.

[barocalto]

Good I glad see he is going and of course he will show off his language skills speaking French,Spanish, Dutch, German, Belgium, and of course Arabic...

Obama lectures us that instead of worrying about immigrants learning English, "you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish" %u2014 a language Obama does not speak. He further admonishes us on how "embarrassing" it is that Europeans are multilingual but "we go over to Europe, and all we can say is ''merci beaucoup.'' " Obama speaks no French.

His fluent English does, however, feature many such admonitions, instructions and improvements. His wife assures us that President Obama will be a stern taskmaster: "Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism . . . that you come out of your isolation. . . . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed."

For the first few months of the campaign, the question about Obama was: Who is he? The question now is: Who does he think he is?

[danstoned]

John McCain is the worst choice the Republicons have made for president since GW Bush.

[ragnar30066]

See there, Obama is a better choice than Hillary. He''s young, male, and willing to learn.

This trip is a great idea. Not only will it save him from the normal vetting that a presidential candidate goes through, it will help prepare him to begin his campaign for Secretary General of the United Nations, as soon as he is elected President.

[roughtimes]

I hope he flaps his lips and slips....I guess he will enjoy his vacation on donations from what countries??
This man is not good for America....so the media jumps on the Hollywood Bus...watch out, he might throw one of you under it!!!

[hotwitch]

Gushy little piece on the young senator, seems people the world over have high expectations for the Democratic messiah. Even the Baghdad shopper is for Obama !
