If the world could vote for the US president...

[Edwina's Secretary]

Or when the last time a US Seator made a trip abroad.....and cancelled a planned visit with wounded troop because the US Military refused to allow reporters to accompany him to the hospital.......

That is Bull and you know it. That disinformation was cleaned up by the military brass.

I'm surprised at you. You usually go with the truth.

[Lady's Human]

It wasn't bull, and the cleanup you speak of was a pretty lousy attempt at damage control after the fact.

If other countires aren't trying to influence our internal politics, why did Sen. Obama make a CAMPAIGN TRIP abroad?

Being a Navy wife, I think he went abroad because of all the US civilians and military that live in Europe.

In which case he could have requested access to the military facilities in Europe (which would have been granted), given a speech at Rhein Mein, Landstuhl, Heidelberg, Germany or Rota in Spain, or all of the above, and went home.

Instead, he asked to use the Brandenburg Gate, which would have been loaded with symbolism.

His speeches were squarely aimed at the population of Europe, not US military personnel living abroad.

That's what I thought too, but apparently not this time.

I think he's just really, really pissed off because Colin Powell endorsed
Obama & dissed both Bush & McCain.

[lizbud]

that might be one clue.........another might be to ask yourself when the last time a JUNIOR US senator made a foreign trip abroad making stump speeches at every available venue......

It would be the last time, that a Senator was running for President & didn't
want to be known as stranger to Europe. We do have allies over there, remember?

Actually, the endorsement of the former Sec. State means little to nothing to me.

There's a difference between a Senator making a trip to speak with leaders, and a Senator speaking at rock concerts in downtown Berlin. I don't think Chancellor Merkel was in attendance.

The funniest part about the whole Obama World Tour is the fact that if it was JM, people would be screaming about home, econimics and the other problems on the doorstep of the citizens here in the U.S.

The only purpose of the trip was to show what a 'world view' he has. He cannot see any foreign country from his front door.

BO had the chance to visit the men in the hospital - His effing ego and chance for a photo opportunity was more important the men themselves.

He didn't need to do the giant press op- he could have gone, on the sly, and done it for himself and the patients.

Let's be honest....there is no one on the face of this earth whose endorsement of Obama would mean anything to you!

Why single out Bush's former Secretary of State?

[Lady's Human]

Because it was brought up by another poster in a direct question.

...a direct question but okay.....
