Obama

Obama is on a trip to Iraq, Afghanistan, and a few other middle eastern spots. He also is visiting some of our European allies. McCain kept saying that he had been "on the ground' in Iraq and knew what was what, and Obama had not been there and was naive about what was needed. How could Obama say that the surge didn't work! He just did not have the experience to be the Commander in Chief and "WIN" in Iraq.

So now that Obama is in Iraq, McCain complains that his trip is just a political media show and without substance. The McCain camp complains that the media is "IN LOVE" with Obama and has a LIBERAL bias as usual. The three big network news anchors went on the plane with him and have had personal interviews at different sites during the trip. It all looks very "Presidential"! Obama is going to make a big speech in Germany. Shades of JFK! No doubt it will get international coverage in TV.

When McCain went, his campaign limited the invitations for the big guns from the press. He toured around in a baseball cap and a flak jacket surrounded by armed troops and helicopters.
Obama is causal and shooting baskets in the gym with the troops. He is meeting with all the heads of state wherever he is visiting. The President of Iraq agreed with his goal of starting to remove troops with a 16 month goal for the drawdown. It all looks very Presidential.

In a recent interview, McCain said that there was a lot of trouble along the border between Iraq and Afghanistan. Afghanistan has no border with Iraq. McCain still thinks that the name Chezkoslavakia is still on the map.

Poor old John!
