Obama begins foreign tour in Afghanistan

Finally, someone realizes that elections are staged events.

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE, YOU HAVE OWNERS.

This dog and pony show is all a political ploy, you have to be blind not to see it. The surge works in Iraq and it will work in Afghanistan. Troops will leave Iraq and go to Afghanistan, no matter who is President. Obama's bubble has burst! The only thing Obama has is that he voiced he was agaist the War in Iraq at a ANTI-WAR RALLY , 2002. He wasn't a US senator, he didn't get the info they did and he didn't have to vote. Since being a Senator, he voted just like Hillary Clinton. He not special, he is a typical politician, just like all the rest on the HILL!

"AND THE 527s HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT OBAMA'S TRUE NATURE. I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COMING MONTHS. "

If Obama is vetted to the general public (he already is to the bloggers) his a** is mud.

As Barack Obama began his trip to the Middle East and Europe, the media was already speculating about the possibility of a gaffe. Obama's travel "carries political risk," the New York Times reported, "particularly if Mr. Obama makes a mistake."

But the only foreign policy error made in the last few days came this morning on ABC's Good Morning America, when John McCain made ANOTHER geography gaffe while trying to criticize Obama's visit to Iraq.(Just last week, McCain repeatedly referred to Czechoslovakia, a country that hasn't existed since 1993.)

Asked by Diane Sawyer whether the "the situation in Afghanistan in precarious and urgent," McCain responded: "I think it's serious.... It's a serious situation, but there's a lot of things we need to do. We have a lot of work to do and I'm afraid it's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border."

But as ABC's Rick Klein noted: "Iraq and Pakistan do not share a border. Afghanistan and Pakistan do."

*McCain had a class rank of 790 out of 795 from the US Naval Academy.

*McCain does not know how to use a computer.

*McCain has been more absent than active in recent Senate affairs, having missed more than 350 votes (60.5%) during the current Congress.(This is also an all-time record for a Senator not-voting.)

*McCain has served our country honorably and it’s unfortunate that he was a POW, but this does not make him the better candidate for president. Our country deserves the most qualified candidate possible.

**Clearly Obama is the most qualified between the two remaining choices that we have.

" No Photos of meeting the troops in Bagram Afghanistan"

I received this email today from somebody who supposedly knows a soldier in Afganistan. These types of emails can be very damaging to Senator Obama. I don't believe a word of it as it seems just another smear like the other soldier's email. Could you put something on the website to confirm that I am correct that the soldier who told a friend of a friend is making this up. Probably another disgrutled Republican. It reads:

I have a friend who is in contact almost every day with different people serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait.
Her contact in Kuwait happens to be a member of a K-9 unit and was recently part of the security detail assigned to Mr. Obama on his visit.
this person said that Mr. Obama was rude not only to the security personnel, but to practically everyone in uniform. Comparing notes with other people who have similar contacts in different units, the story about Mr. Obama was the same.
I have an opinion about that kind of behavior toward the people serving in the military.
I don't care if you agree we should have our military ANYWHERE outside the US borders or not...you do not disrespect your fellow man or woman that way, especially those who are assigned to keep you alive.
I still don't know who I'm voting for, but one candidate just got a BIG checkmark in the NO column as far as I'm concerned.
