Comments on: Upcoming Overseas Trip Key For Obama

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

[barocalto]

Barack Obama was born of Communist activists, mentored by a communist writer and activist, spent his college days hanging around radical activists, worked as a radical community organizer learning the radical tactics of Alinsky, kept contact with radicals through the years, attends a radical church, and today lends his political skill to the international goals of radical activists, and has radicals working on for his campaign.

Who is paying for this trip? Is there any other reason other then a media opportunity?

I was so glad you were so interested in the financing of this trip. I wish you were interested in the hundred or so of mccains

[rowdywicca]

Just a quick reminder. I seem to remember that McBush is the one that kept urging Obama to make this trip. Now that he is going, all the repubs can do is find fault for him going. You can''''t have it both ways! Face it, your party has nominated an aging idiot for the highest office in this country.

Fact it...your party APPOINTED and inexperienced, incompetent twit who happens to be an arrogant JERK!

It''s a shame he and his gas bag wife are so angry and hateful about the country that has allowed them to live the very dream most Americans work for. And it''s a shame they didn''t have to work for it...it was just bought for them buy a bunch of corrupt Muslim backers from Chicago...and oil and energy, telecom, insurance, and sub-prime lending sponsors! I don''t think 143 days is quite long enough for one to deserve the highest position in the free world.

Obama''s next dodge will be to talk up diplomacy - that a dialogue with the mullahs can hold Iran at bay. But no negotiations are possible with al-Qaida - and Americans realize that talks with Iran will go nowhere unless we have the leverage of force. His reliance on diplomacy will come off as naive, reinforcing the impression that he''s not ready for the job.


Eventually, he''ll have to say he''s prepared to go back into Iraq if the situation deteriorates. Voters will realize that a nominal troop presence and diplomacy won''t do the job.


That''s when McCain moves in for the kill: "So, isn''t your rigid adherence to withdrawal inviting a third Iraq War?"


He can claim the mantle of the true peace candidate - saying that he''ll stay in Iraq, keep control, build up the Iraqi army and keep US casualties down. Obama''s pullout, he can warn, would mean an inevitable third Iraq war. Obama is stuck seeming either naive - or just as likely to get us into a war as President Bush was.


The success of the surge has created an ideal situation for McCain. What had been the chief Democratic argument against the Republicans can now be their best tool to destroy Obama.

He was registered under the name of Barry Soetoro, serial number 203. School documents list Barry Soetoro as an Indonesian citizen and his religion was listed as Islam.
His third grade teacher, Fermina Katarina Sinaga, now 67, asked her class to write an essay titled "My dream: What I want to be in the future." Obama wrote "I want to be a President," she said.

All Indonesian students are required to study religion at school and a young Barry Soetoro, being a Muslim, would have been required to study Islam daily in school.

He would have been taught to read and write Arabic, to recite his prayers properly, to read and recite from the Quran and to study the laws of Islam.

In his autobiography, "Dreams From My Father," Obama mentions studying the Quran and describes the public school as "a Muslim school."
The evidence seems to quite clearly show that both Ann Dunham and her husband Lolo Soetoro Mangunharjo were in fact devout Muslims themselves and they raised their son as such."

To some, it''''s quite obvious, that nothing this man does will be good enough. If only all of you had taken as critical a look at Dubya when he was running for office. Maybe we wouldn''''t need such change.

I believe the last time I heard this CHANGE ***** it was coming out of Bush''s campaign!

Like I''m going to believe another political HACK that says they''re going to CHANGE!!!

Everywhere Obama goes should be about four feet deep in manure! And he needs 30,000 people with shovels to dig himself out of it!

[dhtigerfan]

Just a reminder that it was McBush that continually urged Obama to make this trip. Now that he is going he is being raked over the coals for doing so. Face it Repubs, you have nominated an idiot!

So Dan Rather says a man can''t learn anything in two days. Bullsh*t!!! Maybe Dan can''t learn anything but I sense that he is talking about his own short-comings. We have seen even our dumb-founded congress learn from 1-day hearings with less intensity that sitting down with a world leader. Hell, Bush was able to "see into the soul" of the Russian president in a matter of minutes and knew he could work with Tony Blair after less than a minute. Plenty can be learned over the course of a few days.

Yes, Adolph made some very nice appearances at that location.

Adolph is a German''''s idea of a REAL leader.

Maybe Bush gave Merkel another backrub in thanks.

uh, that evil right-winger John F. Kennedy spoke in that area in 1962, within touching distance of the Berlin Wall, stating "I am a Berliner" and being one with free Germany and Western ideals of freedom and democracy. No one accused him of being in the pocket of the Nazis. You Bush hating libpigs are something else..

[nolalou]

Sorry, CoffeeGlss, but Ariel''s point may be ''very well said'', but that doesn''t keep it from being wrong! It is NOT disgraceful to call the President a failure! What is it about FREEDOM you do not understand! One of the freedoms we are supposedly fighting for is freedom of speech, and freedom to OPPOSE THE GOVERMENT WHEN THEY ARE WRONG! In fact is is the right and duty of every patriotic American to say so when the President is wrong, and this President has been wrong more than most, in fact HE HAS BEEN A DISASTER! What''s getting old is IDIOTS like you who have no idea what our rights are, and if it was up to you, we wouldn''t have a Bill Of Rights!

And the emoty suit messiah is owned by soros, who owns the dem party. Yep, gotta love the fact that the ordained messiah is nothing more than a Chicago politican with a big mouthed, perpetually angry wife. Why, kinda makes kerry and heinz-kerry look good.

[xlib]

I understand Bruce Springsteen is the opening act for the big tour what with the big three "anchors" from the msm going with the messiah. Can''t wait to hear those hard hitting questions the empty suit will face.Frankly asking if the messiah thinks the helmet makes his ears look bigger would be one question. Of course perky katie will ask if the cami pants make her butt look big. Oh yea, this will definetly assure the empty suit will have all that much needed foreign policy experience.

I see no change here.. Just another politician milking the system for his/her own benefit..

[fstop100]

maybe he can get the whole world to speak spanish

[jmurrieta1]

"However, Germany''s chancellor has accused him of over-reaching his status. 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."

Ariel: Well said!!!

[ariel133]

You know what''s really getting old? Not those who are bashing Republicans, but those who are supportive of ignorant, unqualified, and naive Liberals and Congress- who have failed America with their grandeous promises. They are inept and disgraceful to call The President a failure, even if he is. They have no respect for their leader even if he is not perfect. If you think Obama is perfect you have a poor sense of reality, and though McCain is not perfect he is far more experianced to lead a country than this boy wonder.

[Frisky1989]

Maybe we''ll get lucky and he''ll get lost over there!!!
