I TRULY FEEL SORRY FOR Americans, with your ecomony in a recession morgage crisis, 2 unwinnable way, record unemployment. the world and those who care about this continent are hoping waiting and playing for the change that will help those who are suffering or being impacted my the previous 7 years of making things worst. God help you all if they get back in.

CONCERNED Canadian.

I don't think that Obama's visits to foreign countries should be ANNOUNCED ANY- AND EVERYWHERE, MEDIA, ETC.! However, the opposite should be true for George W. Bush, Cheney!!!

If I were the OBAMA"S i would sue the hell out of the New Yorker!!!
GET USED TO IT BARACK OBAMA IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
BARACK THE VOTE!!!

Andy J, NY

I am sorry to tell you this one, the world do not see Obama as weak, but as a person they can trust and be friends with, instead of fear and war mongering McCain...

How can anyone say that Barack Obama is a Muslim? I mean I could understand it if his father was Muslim since according to the Islamic tradition that would make him.....Look, Bush and McCain are embracing!

Obama is a bad joke.

Did someone mention to Obama that 'West Bank' is not a financial institution where he can get more campaign money from?

Adriana – He played dirty politics just like the Republicans. He was selected not elected .

Osama is taking the best friend of Hamas with him–Jimmy Carter-those two men have much in common.

We need to COLLABORATE and ENGAGE not to DISCRMINATE and DISENGAGE other countries..

We need DIALOGUE not WAR

WAR is not the ANSWER
VIOLENCE is not the ANSWER

the US is made up of amazing individuals, who always want a better world, and of people who are caring..

Mr. President Obama, the people and the world awaits your leadership... dont be afraid of the few who hate, who are racists, elitists, and believe in the good of the few ONLY..

To all those who say Obama is a joke....well apparently NOT. He beat the Clintons!!!!! Not just Hillary, but both of them...so apparently he's alot more than just a joke.

Dang Nightingale, it's gonna be a long 8 years for you and your fellow Fascists Bushies.

You will be on very unsafe ground, Mr Obama... You would be better to stay home... If the USA, "is" your Home...

Will this be like the german stop for a great Photo Opt.

HANDS WITH THE SAUDI LEADERS & GIVING OUR

COUNTRY AWAY..........DITTO!!!!

And now watch the Republicans act exactly as the “New Yorker Magazine” was lampooning them for acting.

AND WHO HAS BEEN GIVING THIS NATION AWAY?

IT CERTAINLY HAS NOT BEEN OBAMA.

I DID NOT KNOW HOW RACIST & IGNORANT SOME

OF MY AMERICANS ARE. AND SINCE I AM A TEACHER,

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.

Obama was soooo interesting and informed Sun with his interview with Zakardeea!!! He understand foreign policy and world afairs far more than McCain ever will!!! Every American should have seen it!!! The New Yorker must be backed by big oil and corporate sleeze to have done what they did!!!! It will backfire on them. Never again will I buy the new yorker!!! Go Obama!!!!

To all those who commented in the idocy of "Nightingale", THANKS.

This person should change his/her? name to TURKEY!!!

Palestine, eh? Looks like the New Yorker cover may not have been that far off the mark, after all. By the way, when will Mr. Chamberlain, er, uh, I mean Mr. OBAMA (sorry, my mistake) be meeting with Chancellor Hitler?

I hope he uses Mapquest to get there. With his foreign policy experience he might end up in Chile by mistake.

Roberta, NC and A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square you are both ignorant.

This man with little or no knowledge or experience in foreign affairs going around and meeting with the heads of states in these crirtcal parts of the world, for politcal reasons, is disgraceful. God knows what he is likely to say. He is a serial flip flopper and he has a history of telling people what they want to hear and not the opposite. Look at his long history with the Rev. Wright and not once taking issue with the man on his anti America remarks.

A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square

No. You are an idiot. Maybe YOU don't have a spouse, child, or anyone important to you dying in a war that no two people can name the same reason why it was waged. GWB does not want the war over, that's why its going on six years and well 4000 American lives have been lost. That doesn't even include the thousands of Iraqi caualties. Saddam Hussein had been captured and killed. Osama Bin Laden is still free and HE was responsible for 9/11.

As far as him "preaching" to black men, he experienced what it was like not to have his father as did I and the majority of the people I know. I agree with him and so do all the studies and data confirming what he said. Just like Bill Cosby was saying a little while ago.

Let's get past the negativity.

Unity '08

God bless you, Sen. Obama. Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer! That's an old wise saying that's quite true in today's world.

For the Clinton or McCain crowd: how can you vote for a man who will keep us in Iraq?

HOW CAN YOU VOTE FOR A MAN WHO SANG.....' BOMB... BOMB... BOMB IRAN" ?????????????????????????????????????

A VOTE FOR MCCAIN IS A VOTE FOR MORE WAR

MORE DEAD YOUNG SOLDIERS, MORE OF THEM COMING HOME MAIMED (30K ALREADY) AND MORE COMING HOME SO DISTRAUGHT THAT THEY COMMIT SUICIDE!

MORE NATIONAL DEBT....... ISN'T $10 TRILLION OWED TO DUBAI, CHINA AND THE SAUDIS ENOUGH??????????

SO GO AHEAD AND VOTE FOR MCCAIN........ BUT DON'T COMPLAIN WHEN THINGS GET WORSE!

Wow Nightingale, do you ever have anything positive to say about Obama? It is clear you don't want Obama for President...that's your right. But if anyone is an idiot it is the head of our current administration. Bush may want the war to end, but if he does, he sure has a funny way of showing it...stay the course.

As for Obama visiting Palestine...who said it was his first stop? They are just the ones leaking information about a proposed date. Last time I checked, we have the worse relationship with Islamic Nations, so even if it is his first stop, it is also the area where the most work and diplomacy is needed. Might I also add that people in America really need to set aside their prejudice thoughts towards Muslims. It is almost as if 'Muslim' goes with devil worship or something and that couldn't be further from the truth. Just because some people are extremist in the religion, Americans shouldn't stereotype the religion. I seem to recall some Christians using their religion as a reason for slavery. Doesn't make it right!

Last, but certainly not least...as an African-American wife and mother, Obama's decision to speak out on the subject of the absence of fathers in our community is always welcomed until it is no longer an issue. Since he grew up without his father, I believe he can speak on the subject from first-hand experience. Last time I checked, you didn't have to be ordained to speak the truth! If his speech changed the thinking of just one man, it was one more than what we had before....we call that progress.

Obama '08...the only choice for me!

This will aggravate Jewish resentment of Obama.

Why does the New Yorker lampoon Obama as a Muslim and his wife as a Muslim terrorist? Jewish voters from New York. Why did Hillary Clinton become militaristic toward Middle East policy? She was elected from New York – a state with a sizable percentage of Jewish voters. Guess what PAC lobbies the most loudly for bombing Iran, keeping U.S. troops stuck in Iraq, and supporting both the Bush Administration and John McCain? It's AIPAC (American-Israel Political Action Committee).

To the extent Jewish voters want aggressive U.S. military involvement in the Middle East, we will continue to see Jewish resentment of Barack Obama. You see . . . Obama puts U.S. interests ahead of Israel's. Imagine that.

Nightingale: PLEASE google Palestine and Israel before posting such idiotic comments. You obviously have little to no understanding of the history of the region – or you would know that Obama is visiting pretty much the most Jewish place on the planet. Oh, and Palestine is not a country...basic geography.

About time. The neocons are ready to tear him down. Look at the cover of the New Yorker. No matter, Obama08.

Why is Obama campaigning all over the world when there are real people in America hurting?

You aren't running for President of the World you moron!

Obama should not dignify the terrorist factions of the palestinians
and other Arabs by meeting with them.

A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square

Are you kidding me? He is going there to get first hand information to deploy diplomacy and ease tensions between countries as well as the US.

As for him "preaching" about absentee fathers, he is a child of a fatherless home and has worked in communities where there is an excess of absentee fathers so he has first hand knowledge of how that affects the family and especially the child(ren).

Get off your computer and volunteer in low income communities for a month before you decide you are better than he is.

Lastly, trying to plan the seed that he is Muslim did not work in the primary and certainly is not going to work now. Your ignorance is showing.

The U.S. is not suppose to take sides and stay neutral with the internal issues of Israel / Palestine. Obama yet again shows leadership by acknowledging the importance of not showing the Palestinians that we are biased and will help negotiate an independent Palestinian state.

Thank God, for Democratic leadership !! How many times has President Bush or Vice-President Cheney visited the Palestinians ?? I don't think very many times, if at all. The Republicans have been delinquent in their diplomacy in the Middle East and that has resulted in tragedy and devastation, not to mention, occupation. Senator Obama will show the Republicans how to be fair to all parties, involved in the Middle East conflict. The Palestinian people deserved better, from the Israeli people, as well as from we, the American people. Maybe, in Senator Obama's terms as our President, he will bring the Palestinians and the Israelis together, as former President Carter did with the Egyptians and the israelis.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Someone should tell Obama that the West Bank is in the Middle East. He is probably thinking that it means the west bank of the Hudson River.

The metaphors that compare Obama to Jesus, the Messiah are more of a reflection on the America People’s reaction to Obama, then on Obama personally.

After languishing under Republican dominated government for far too long, I have waited for a leader to immerge that will up hold Democratic Party values. I had great hope in Gore, Biden, and Edwards and I have been disappointed again and again as our great country continues to diminish under the strain of Republican mismanagement.

I see in Obama this long awaited leader with his superb intellect, solid integrity and savvy political skills. Obama shows tremendous potential to work effectively with our allies, to pacify our enemies, and to lead American in a positive direction something.

This is the most eronous this i have ever seen. It appears we disregard level of security with respect to Senator Obama. Can we just calm down just a little bit. Shame on the media!.

He'll lose alot of votes if he just meets with the Palestinians. If it wasn't for the supreme court, I would never vote for the man. And I'm beginning to wonder whether he can be trusted on any issue including Roe v Wade. He sided with the Republicans on the surveillance vote? What's next?

A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square,

Did you work on being stupid or were you born that way.

If any President wants to stop a war, then he does it simply by ordering a halt in combat. If Bush wanted to stop the war, then our folks would be back home right now! Obviously you have NEVER served in the military or you would know the answer IS that simple.

A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square

You cannot be serious. First of all, he is on a diplomatic mission to get information to get first hand information to deploy deplomacy and try to ease tensions between these countries as well as ours.

As for him preaching, he knows what it is like to live in a home without a father and has seen with first hand experience the large number of homes that are lacking a father.

Maybe you should do a month of community work so that you can see for yourself what he is talking about before you dare to judge.

Soon the world will see what we've known for quite awhile a soon to be Intelligent President of the people!
Obama I wish you a safe a speedy return!

Well voters have quite a extensive contrast in the two candidates in November's election.

One candidate main campaign focus is on killing, war and publicly trying to degrade other nations and their leaders.

One candidate advocates diplomacy with other nations and a peaceful withdrawl of troops from an occupied country.

The entire world is watching what ordinary Americans will do as their choice for President will clearly reflect their mindset and how they regard and want to treat other countries and their citizens.

Plain and simple this election will be a barometer of how the American public think!!!!!

Because ONE Posting is just NOT enough...

repubs.will begin claiming that obama's trip to palestine,is proof he is a muslim.idiots will spew more lies and hatred,but,barack will be seen by everyone, except republicans,as what the entire world needs.this world wide tour will bring hope to a world ,that is tired of the current administration's bully tactics,and war.

Watch out for the Mossad....

Senator Obama,

Please also find a way to meet with the Isreali's too ... otherwise we'll get more of the ...

NEW YORKER MAGAZINE nonsense.

CNN, don't know why you closed comments on that story at 7 AM Pacific but it has pissed off a lot of people.

Any media that seeks to perpetuate a false and misleading image of a candidate should not have 1st ammendment privaledges.

This is an appeal to folks that are John McCain's age because they've tried to make Michele look like Angela Davis. The New Yorker wants to evoke a subliminal anti-Obama response in moderate republicans and independents that are leaning towards the Senator.

Most folks 45 and under won't put the pieces together, but I see it so clearly. I didn't know we allowed public media to engage in this sort of blatant electioneering.

I really cannot stand this guy! Every picture of him shows his arrogance. He cries about everything that is said or written about him and now he wants to go over seas for talks with foreign leaders? oh boy!

If Obama does not visit Isreal, we will know where he really stands.

Double DOWN Media... finding ways to keep Barack in the news through double postings... instead of war criminlas like Bush or more of the same like McWeekender...

A little over the top coverage.. One posting is just fine..

good luck obama! obama 08!

Thank God.... a leader at last! We have waited so long. Go to Palestine Mr. Obama and see what the Israeli occupation has wrought then come home and and make BALANCED decisions concerning the people of Palestine, not the one sided, Israel-can-do-no-wrong attitude that we have had from this Evangelical administration of the last 8 years.

Yet again Obama needs to clarify his remarks about Israel / Palestine. Isn't this constant restating what he means sending up a red flag up with any Democrats?

I hope there are no closed-door, no-recordings, off-the-record meetings like the one in Seattle or the one his campaign staff had with the Canadian officials.

Seems there is a lot of talking behind the electorate's back with this guy and this is one place where we should all know exactly what he is saying and promising...

He is not now a Muslim, we all know that because of the racist church he attended in Chicago has been all over the news. But, his father and stepfather both were and Obama did attend the Masque with his stepfather – his neighbors have said they saw him do it when he lived in Indonesia. He lied, plain and simple.

All political timing. If there was no election, NOBAMA would not even be close to this trip. He has not cared for any of this discussion – unless it benefits him.

NOBAMA is a NOVELTY being used by the left. How sad.

Oh great. Just what we need, this nutball talking to the Palestinians. Heaven help us.

So McCain can't do anything without AIPAC and Joe Liberman's approval? The idiots in here like "not important" truly amaze me.

No one can view the Palestine Israeli conflict objectively. There will always be two sides to that story. Why would Obama be able to figure it out? It's been going on since before he was a twinkle in his mother's eye.

Yes, Obama visiting the West Bank proves he's a Muslim... McCain must be Muslim as well since he visited Iraq. Yes, let's continue the Bush approach to the Middle East since it's been so successful. Sigh....

"A Nightingale that sings in Berkeley Square," Obama's going to first land in Germany and then other places including the west bank which this post has just confirmed. Also, he'll be visiting Israel and this post hasn't specified whether he'll land in Israel first or Palestine. In fact, the Obama camp has "no comment." And no he "is not trying to tell you something."

So do the reading first and get your facts straight before jumping to irrational conclusions.

THE PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN OFFERRED EVERYTHING AND STATEHOOD TIME AND TIME AGAIN AND STILL THEIR TERRORIST FRIENDS HAMAS AND HEZBOLLAH HAVE CONTINUED THEIR
ARMED ATTACKS ON ISRAEL , DERAILING THE PEACE PROCESS
WHICH THE U.S. HAS TRIED MANY MNAY TIMES TO ACHIEVE FOR THE BENEFIT OF BOTHE PALESTINIANS AND ISRAEL.
ISRAEL HAS GIVEN MANY CONCESSIONS AND INCENTIVES TO THE PALESTINIANS FOR A LASTING PEACE AGREEMENT WITH THEM. BUT THEIR TERRORIST FRIENDS DO NOT WANT PEACE. JUST LIKE IRAN, THEY DO NOT WANT TO RECOGNIZE ISRAEL AS A NATION AND JUST L;IKE IRAN THEY WANT TO WIPE ISRAEL OFF THE MAP. IRAN AND ITS FRIENDS WILL FIND THAT THEY ARE
ITCHING FOR ANOTHER WAR WHICH THEY CANNOT WIN.

-A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square-
Are you kidding or just an idiot! Bush created the war in Iraq. He and cheney are making billions from this war. Of COURSE he doesnt want it to end!

Get a clue and put down the remote. FOX news OWNS your brain.

I hear a lot of 'vote American vote mccain'. Bush/McSame/Cheney have done more damage to this country than any other administration in US history. Are THEY the kind of Americans YOU want running this country? Get real, get educated, vote OBAMA!

Good move Obama

WELL THEY WILL HAVE THE "WELCOME HOME" OBAMA SIGN OUT.

Please tell me he'll stay there for awhile. You know...60-70years.

McCain/08

Why is Israel's vote of approval a requirement for U.S. politicians? As if no politician can get elected without declaring their loyalty to protecting Israel and its interests? Whatever happened to declaring loyalty to U.S. first, and treat Israel and other allied nations as a second?

Who cares about what Joe Lieberman says or thinks? He is yesterday's news and a footnote in U.S. history.

go ahead obama most of us who live outside u.s.a are behind you.

Obama is a breath of fresh air. He is doing what should be done....not looking like he is taking sides. Sarkozy also organized a Mediterranean Conference in the hopes of trying to work together for the region. He united these two different countries in this process as well. As a world traveler I can tell you that the sentiment worldwide is for Obama, not a continuation of McSame and Bush's foreign policy nightmare. Bush and McCain are not seen favorably worldwide- I am talking mostly Europe where I travel. Fortunately, the Europeans I know and have met are good people and they don't judge Americans based on our government. Many are very discouraged with the present American government though. It's time we realize that what we do here at home affects countries worldwide and Bush has been a major concern. McCain will only follow the "stay the course mentality".

If people would only try to understand how close we are to WWIII with the cowboy mentality and the unpresidential off the cuff comments of John McCain towards Iran could easily throw things over. I would encourage you to look at how the Kennedys handled the Cuban Missile Crisis to see how that can be avoided. The eye for an eye mentality leaves everyone blind.

So he is actually going to meet with people over there? Isn't that what you are supposed to do?

A Nightingale Sings............you are completely nutzo.

To: A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square

A Christian and Jewish country? Interesting. Goes to show you ill-informed you are, how little you know of the world, and how appallingly hateful your comments are about Obama. The state of Palestine has thousands of Christians, as the State of Israel has thousands of Christians and Muslims. That part of the world is the cradle of three religions, and Muslims, Christians and Jews live side by side.

If you are implying that Obama's meeting would happen in a closed door setting with the Palestinians, and since he is a "secret Muslim", he would strike a deal with his "brothers in arms", then I have news for you. You and people like you are precisely the reason the rest of the world hates us!!

If they left his post there, mine should be approved as well.

Great. You go talk. It'll be what you're best at as a President.

Why don't you go where our troops actually are, and most importantly, where they are actually making a difference with a population that actually seeks peace with its neighbors?

That would mean you will have to face the truth that isn't being told the American people, yes?

Kennedy had his Vienna moment which led to his epiphany; what will your moment be, Obama?

He is not our president yet and should not waste our money for travel... who knows what kind of promisses he will do in order to have the the palestinian government come out and shake his hand and smile to make him look good on his non-existing foreign policy experience.

what a joke. just for votes.

Rob from NC

There will be some who will have something negative to say – the McCain supporters and the misguided PUMAs so let's hear 65431

Why are there no articles about John McCain?

Why are there two articles on the same topic?

No matter if Obama is doing his White House internship during the election season, his overseas visits will help him become a better president either in 2008 or later. This is definitely worthy investment by his supporters.

Obama will meet with and appease the Palestinians this week and "might" meet with Isreal. Keep your eye on him America.

McCain = Experienced Leadership

No Obama, you can't increase the taxes on the West Bank. It is not a financial institution!

Obama couldn’t come up with any solution for domestic problems and he is keep on shifting his positions
What is he going to do there!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very uncomfortable with the reporting of his dates of travel. It seems irresponsible to do so.

He should have "visited" the Afghan Subcommittee he chairs in the Senate just ONCE. That would have been a good start for understanding - and having the audacity to interject himself into - the Middle East situation!

A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square July 14th, 2008 8:49 am ET

SO the boy wonder is going to Palestine. Wonder what he is going to do there. Seems to me there are a lot of Muslims there. Why not go to a Christian or Jewish Country first. IS HE TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING?

obama is such an idiot. He says the first day he would be president ( i hope never) that he would order the military on a new mission. End the war. Ha ha ha. Don't you think Bush wants the war over? Don't you think we all do? Obama dreams about things that can't happen and thinks he is an oracle. He plans to wave his magic voice and say make it happen.
--------------------------------
Go away paid Rethugnican troll, you are breathing air that should go to someone worth being alive. If Bush wanted the war over, WHY DIDN'T HE END IT?? HE'S HAD SEVEN YEARS!!! Oh, I remember what he said at the beginning that really pissed off the terrorists, "To the terrorists and extremists, I say, bring it on." What an IDIOT!! And they brought it on too, now we have over 4000+ dead Americans and counting and all you can do is come on here and spew hatred. Why don't you go pay Queen Hillary's debt instead lowlife.

Nightengale...why don't you come up with a new post an quit replaying the same old crap on every one...too mush brain power needed?????

its plain to see obama is the only rational one we have right know he is a goood diplomat able too see both sides i think something just might be accomplished just becareful senator obama we need you back here!!!!!!!!

I find it quite funny that people think Obama going over there is going to cause any kind of movement in the Israeli-Palestinian situation.

This guy has no credibility on the international stage, and international leaders want him to be US president because they think they can push this little punk around. Obama is a joke.

Maybe he can help out the Israel-Palestinian cause by viewing BOTH sides, as opposed to McCain, who blindly wants to support Israel.

In my opinion, Israel is the biggest threat to world peace because they are responsible for the extremist anger in Arab nations, we need to bring peace to the region. Our blind support of Israel has really hurt us in the long run.

Obama truly represents America, someone who is willing to view both sides and make decisions based on that.

Obama '08

Obama is keeping an open mind by visiting various countries.
Too bad our present administration doesn't understand the
meaning of diplomacy.
Does anyone know of any major accomplishments Bush/Rice
accomplished these last eight years?
Please keep him safe foreign countries. He is your and
our only hope.

HUMMMM...Following in Carters footsteps?

A Nightingale Sings in Berkley Square:

Doesn't it tire you waking up every day so full of negative energy and hate? When the specifics of his trip first came out you probably said "why go to Germany, a predominately Christian country, doesn't he care about Muslims?"

It's clear you hate Obama, but at least if you must blog about it use intelligent arguments. If Bush wanted the war over he would have issued a command for the military to come up with an exit strategy. The war is a convenient distraction from the mess he put us in.

It's time for some inner reflection and to grow up.

There might be some new movement in the Near East peace process. Obama should get the details from first hand.

I'm sure the Republican hawks will attack him for this, but I think it's the right thing to do; visit Israel AND the Palestinians. It will take movement from both sides to achieve any type of peace in the Mid-East.

I wonder what Joe Lieberman will say about that? Or AIPAC? Obama is a good man and this prooves it. Barack doesn"t take sides. Obama can view the palestine Israel conflict objectively. Everybody knows that McCain can"t do that because AIPAC, Joe Lieberman and John Hagee tell McCain what to do.

The New Yorker is pure satire...isn't it?

Clinton or McCain '08

Go represent us Barack, the world loves you unlike your opposition who gets heckled continuously right here in the USA by Americans.

We are not a country of whiners and we are not imagining our hurt McSame. We understand your thoughts since you wife is worth $100 Million, you simply don't understand what we are going through.

SO the boy wonder is going to Palestine. Wonder what he is going to do there. Seems to me there are a lot of Muslims there. Why not go to a Christian or Jewish Country first. IS HE TRYING TO TELL US SOMETHING?

obama is such an idiot. He says the first day he would be president ( i hope never) that he would order the military on a new mission. End the war. Ha ha ha. Don't you think Bush wants the war over? Don't you think we all do? Obama dreams about things that can't happen and thinks he is an oracle. He plans to wave his magic voice and say make it happen.

I've got news for obama. He should quit preaching to the black men. He is not an ordained minister or an educated social worker. What qualifications if any does he have to preach. Give me a break.

No way, really?

I couldn't tell he was going to visit the West Bank by just the one article alone. Thanks for posting this second identical article! It clears up everything.

Praying for a safe and successful trip there and back.
