The US propaganda is playing on the stage. The MSM tries their best to paint Obama as the "president".

So let me get this straight: Obama travels to a few places for a week, and that gives him foreign policy credentials to be Prez? Heck, I've been to more countries than he has, I could be President too! Chancellor Merkel is not about to let a not-even-nominee yet take the stage in Germany. Obama will embarass this country, why are we even allowing him to do this, he doesn't represent the USA at all! And why, oh why, is the media following him like little puppets? Why are ALL three news anchors going with him? Did any of you go with McCain on his world travels? Your unhealthly love for him makes me sick, what makes him so special???

This trip paid for by taxpayer's money is a PR and photo trip. Senator Obama has already stated his position on the Iraq War and his plans to bring it to an end. Why should he speak to the German people; they can not vote for him. Waste of tax money.

Lynn, there is nothing vacuous about supporting the better candidate.
The rest of the world knows that too which is why the press abroad is eagerly anticipating his arrival. Germans are said to be amongst Obama's greatest international supporters right now.

I am sick already of hearing about Obama's trip . . . especially the part about the fawning media accompanying him. Our political process has all the sincerity and intelligence of "American Idol". The real shame is that we have to show the rest of the world just how vacuous we really are.

As an American living and working in Malaysia, I am disappointed at Obama for not having a single tour stop in Asia; a continent that is becoming every more important in today's world.
Besides, people are really enthusiastic about his candidacy here...guess he already has all the media attention he needs.

this must be kool aid sipping time for the obama supporters.

that began with a mystical hand
hip hooray, the american way
the world is obama' stage for
entertainment

Why should obama be able to do a victory lap around the world, before he has won.
I hope the majority of unaffected americans will see through this, and be turned off by this sort of pagentry and not vote for him.
What will be a shame will be when he gets over there among all of those large crowds that he likes, where many of the people cannot understand what he is saying and he get up there to give his prepared, half memorized speech and starts
uhuhuh,and studdering and fumbling along.

Now that he has that stage I hope the empty suit of a politician can think of something original to say, not something copied from Deval Patrick, or something spoon fed to him by Axelrod, but something that indicates he is capable of thinking by himself. I've only heard him stutter when he gets a surprise for which he doesn't have a spoon fed answer. Frankly, I doubt that he will change. He's more like a word processor than a poet. Same as Dukakis.

The media is sickening.

I am a democrat and even I think the media coverage of Obama's trip is unfair to Senator McCain. So much for the free press...
Posted by: rafraf | Jul 17, 2008 9:37:52 PM
I agree with you Ann, but when it comes to Obama, nobdy will listen. It is so sad. Obama is the presses' darling who can do no wrong. Everytime someone points facts out, somebody comes along to clean up his act. Let him win. Maybe the country needs to see. Chicago is a grand mess! Obama is everybody's man and everybody is his fool.
