Now this is too much!!

This is why people think Obama walks on water, the media make him out to be some kind of God when he's not. He's just the average man from Chicago with no experience sliding his way through the process without debating.

President Obama!

Boy Mccain did your wishes backfire. You bashed Obama about not going overseas and now that he is there and everyone is in love with him you bash him some more. Sounds like jealousy to me. Why don't you just drop out of this race. You mean america no good and besides that your a proven Liar.

OMG, he actually landed in Israel! Wow, he is really something! What will BHO do next? Get back in the plane and take off from Israel? This is just OVERWHELMING!!

yes! go obama we want to see you in our white house

I’d for one like to thank Barack for what he’s doing overseas. I can’t remember the last time we had so many world leaders and citizens of other nations as anxious as they are now in hearing what one of our premier political figures has to say.

Not to mention when he speaks, he actually knows what he’s talking about and is able to construct constructive and articulate statements. I’ve grown accustomed over the past eight years of people domestically and abroad running from the presence and words of these ‘politicians’. Barack appears to be genuine in his ability to actually want to hear the concerns of these individuals.

It will be amazing or should I say less so, the criticism he will face for being liked by those other than left of center Americans or those disaffected by the last eight years. Who knew being liked around the world would be such a bad thing.

Praying and hoping for continued success in the journey's ahead.

Lets trust he can stand by his convictions on Jerusalem and not succumb to the inevitable pressures that will be brought to bear on him at this time of intense scrutiny and expectation from him. Its not only Americans who are looking at BO for real leadership in international issues.

How nice to see an American speaking of something other than bombing someone. I'm tired of being seen as a country of war mongers.

Bush, McCain, Rove, Cheney have tarnished our image badly. Time for a new era.

Get home safely, Senator! Good luck!

Lisa, what are you bitter about this time? what's too much?

IMAGINE…

McCain asked for this, so now he is going to have to deal with Obama not only on a National level but also as an international phenom

I hear he's left a trail of blossoming cherry trees in his wake! Just like KIng Arthur did in "Excalibur"!!!!!

This is hilarious, Bush sucks so bad we didn't even bother to impeach him. We just sent our new president to clean up.

"the Special Relationship" - Ya'll do whatever you want to whomever you want and we'll pay for it.

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace…

for the first time in my adult life i am really proud of America.

What a man, he never looks exhausted or winded
BARACK THE VOTE !!!

I vividly recall John McCain calling Senator Obama “reckless and naïve” and yet, repeatedly we see nations around the world, as well as the Bush administration and John McCain following the foreign policy LEAD of Obama

Once Obama called for more brigades in Afghanistan, McCain COPIES Obama

Obama said we must engage in dialog with our enemies and be willing to solve problems diplomatically as well as militarily. Since that time

- Isreal has opened discussions with Syria
- The Bush Administration has agreed to meet with Iran on nuclear
- The Iraqi Prime Minister has called for a timetable for US troops to be removed from Iraq

Not to mention Obama being right about the US fighting the Iraq war to begin with.

What right does Obama have to reaffirm anything? He's not the President yet, and he doesn't speak for the US.

I bet he is so sleepy.

Now we will have to support the Prince of Peace.

Not the usual doubletalk or drunken talk.

The tour of duty is going very well for America.

Landslide Obama.

Obama 08 & 12.

if he defeats terrorism, what are his friends going to do? The guy is so full of himself. Please excuse me while I go throw up…….crap, its too late.

Is there a way I can follow his schedule pseudo-live? I wish I could be there with Obama. It's kind of tough just waiting for snippets from the ticker.

For once I agree ……

"The most important idea for me to reaffirm is the historic, special relationship between the United States and Israel,"

Obama gives new meaning to "keeping it real"…

The man is "MONEY" ! He has hit a stride on this foreign policy trip that is nothing short of AMAZING.

ok, HATERS….. go ahead….. do 'your' jobs and start the 'hating'.

THE LAND OF MY FOREFATHERS WILL

LOVE MY SOON TO BE PRESIDENT.

And Humas REALLY Likes you as well…..

Too bad you have already said and done things that leave the American Jewish vote out of your reach!

McCain 08

It's you again Lisa. Give it up.

I hope he keeps his mouth shut. Every time he opens it we find out how ignorant he is to issues. This man is not qualified to be president.

Puma Power

When do the debates begin?

Why is Obama scared of the debates?

Let Americans deside why is the best candidate, no new media questions.

Mccain 08, the only real American in the race.

Obama is looking and sounding more Presidential by the day. He is showing me that he has what it takes to lead the U.S. on the economy and to the chagrin of some…foreign policy. No surprise there. You don't get to be editor of the Harvard Law Review by being a dummy.

Dear CNN,
We are tired of your tabloid reporting and how you present trivial, non-news items as though they are breaking news. We want articles about what the candidates are doing and saying only when they will affect us. We don't care if they shake hands or fist bump; who drove them to the airport; or who you are speculating that their VP will be (unless you have actual facts).

Please, just give us the news and leave the rest alone.

Boy do I wish that this violence would end. You would think that by now they would know that violence accomplishes nothing.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

I have been reading this blog since the campaigne began, In the beginning I was skeptical of Senator Obama, but the more I read and learn about him, I to believe he is capable of making a change.

God Bless Obama.

Hopefully, people will start seeing beyond the bull!

Would this be the first time Obama has gone to a place where he won't be treated like a rock star?

Don't worry Senator Obama, your cult followers will still be here to give your great, big ego all the adulation it needs when you get back.

The Democratic Party leaders have betrayed our core principles of democracy and have failed us all.

NFIL
NotFallingInLine.org

Every step he takes is a step in the right direction. The World is sick of our egotisitcal stupidity. Time to start correcting this. Argue for your limitations and so they shall be yours.

We have to do whaaaat…….!!!!!!!

The liberal left-wing and socialists shout agape!!!

The Messiah has returned! He will solve Middle East peace! Glory be!

"PUMA" IS IGNORANT!

MCSAME IS IGNORANT!

AMERICAN NEEDS CHANGE

We repeatedly see Senator Obama understand the nuances of the human spirit.

Offending, threatening, degrading, ignoring, marginalizing, occupying any group of people is nowhere on the ROAD to long term peace and stability.

True, not all men (women) have pure hearts. The challenge for a leading nation (or a leading individual) is to structure an environment where people work to advance there self interests multilaterally.

When people see that co-operation is the avenue to what they want …. they cooperate.

I am so proud of Obama. He represents us as a true gentleman. McSame is just a joke. The more he talks, the more people are seeing it. By the way, Obama is NOT responsible for the $4.00 gas. How stupid do McSame's campaign think the American people are. He insults our intelligence!

The press is now with him, get ready for Obama 24/7!!!! Beautiful and true statement.

@ Lisa,
Obama has committed to debating McCain. It is July, there is still time to do that. You may not want to push that so soon, as it will also backfire, when Obama kills McCain in a debate.

The only true security for Israel lies through long term peace agreements. Obama can be a true partner in these negotiations. Mcwar cannot contribute to these negotiations because he has already declared himself to be "the worst enemy" of the elected Government of Palestine.

Obama has the whole world looking at his every move and keeping their fingers crossed that his common sense approach will fix the backwards war-mind of the recent Republican party.

McCain does not inspire, McCain insults and ignores. That is not a leader, that is a bully trying to gain popularity in a High School Student Election.

USA Needs a Leader. The World Needs the US Government to get back on its feet to deal with the REAL threats, not their petty egos.

Canada Loves Obama!

Finally, a man with a brain that can lead the free world comes on the stage.

Yay! I heart you Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUSH HE AIN'T, AS MY NIECE SAYS.

THE ISRAELIS HAVE ONE OF THE HIGHEST LEVELS

OF EDUCATION PER CAPITA IN THE WORLD. I AM SURE

THEY WILL APPRECIATE THE INTELLIGENCE OF OUR SOON

TO BE PRESIDENT. HE WILL BE A GREAT PRESIDENT FOR US

AND A GREAT FRIEND TO ISRAEL.

Hail to the Messiah "Obama"!!!!

Kind of nice to see something other than McCain't or one of his attack dogs repeating the same old drivel about the surge, islamofacists, winning wars … blah, blah, blah.

Can't wait for the media to give Grampy the attention he's so desperately asking for as he stumbles, bumbles and grumbles his way through this campaign without a clue. Looks like his volunteers and supporters aren't likin' his staff too well these days. What can one say with staff like that trying to package damaged goods as a "maverick"?

Hopefully he stays there and never comes back.

whats he gonna do speechify them all into submission?

When I serviced Office Machine's, "Save my Stuff"… I have put so much work into this Machine… Borack Obama "Stuff", does not exist… John MCCain has so much valuable Information…. You lose that Memory, even if he is a little slow in the Process…. So decide???

There is nothing wrong with acknowledging, respecting, talking with other nations. Problems won't be solved without talking to each other and understanding each other. The key to peace across the world is talking and respecting everyone. Then you can agree on a decision that will be accepted and respected by all.

Haven't we had enough of wars, killings, murders, stealings, ignoring, disrespecting, trying to shape other nations future, destroying, etc.
How many more Americans, Israelies, Iraqies, or Human Beings have to die?

Remember, "Violance can only bring violance!"

Talking to other nations is the KEY for the permanent solution/success/peace.

Respect (It was the theme for Euro 2008 Soccer Tournament), which is missing in politics.

If you listen to him speak, he's tactful, articulate, intelligent–all completely lacking in our current leaders. This man can gain the respect and admiration again of our allies as well as make progress against our "enemies". How refreshing and reasuring after 8 disastrous yrs with Bush and Co.

May God be with you ,Senator Obama!

who , COULD IMAGINE, THIS KING? Let all nation rise up and witness this day, OBAMA will reign KING

Obama thinks he can bring peace to the Middle East. Someone needs to remind him of the history in that area.

Right now the world is experiencing the phenomenon known as Barrack Obama. And that is exactly what this is A PHENOM. A political phenom that is going to change the world.
I think we can make this world a better place. We can do this.
Got Hope?

"The most important idea for me to reaffirm is the historic, special relationship between the United States and Israel."

What's the big deal? The U.S. has always had a strong relationaship with Israel.

Translation: Obama wants the Jewish vote back home.

JohnBoy,

Do you think that after what Obama went through with Hillary that McCain will beat him in any debate? More so, debates doesn't equal votes. Otherwise Kerry would have been our president and Hillary would have been the Democratic nominee.

The long term security of Israel lies in a comprehensive peace agreement. Obama can be an important contributor to this process. McCain can not even particpate in this process since he has already declared himself to be the "worst enemy" of the elected Government of Palestine.

There he goes again; showing why he's the next President of the United States. Nobody in the primaries or in the general has the intelligence, charisma or communications skills it will take to get this country back on track but Sen. Obama. He doesn't need anything more but his smarts and good advisors to be a great president. Sorry Lisa, but you might as well go back to FOX news with the rest of your Republican buddies.

I hope Barak Obama will talk to Ehud Olmert, the PM of Israel and to the opposition Labour leader Ehud Barak.

Obama will bring PEACE to the world as well as to the Middle East.

America is now recovering the prestige all over the world!

I wonder if the King and Queen of England thought of the American Colonies as terrorists when the Patriots rebelled?

sarah July 22nd, 2008 5:35 pm ET :

LOL …whatever it takes speechify is an option!!!!!!!!!

Lisa, we can always count on you to continue your bitterness about Hillary Clinton's loss of the nomination. Open your eyes, folks. As many of you have said so well, when a candidate is unable to manage his or her campaign effectively, such as Hillary and McCain, they lead voters to believe they cannot manage a country.

The man is so full of himself. All he does is talk, he doesn't have the guts or experience to be President. What a loser.

Obama is afigure some people just like to hate but can't bring themselves to do so. So, they bash him and wish that it could help others to pick interest in doing so.

Obama has a long relationship with Israel. After all, he said that his uncle apparently served with the Soviet Red Army to liberate Auschwitz. Perhaps he was referring to Israel when he said the US had 51 states?

This guy is so pathetic.

I am not Jewish, but I know that We need to stand firm with Israel against their neighbors that seek to destroy them. I don't trust
Obama or any of his followers to take that position. The Jewish community should know better, their history tells them whom they can Trust…. In my humble opinion that is John S. McCain, not Obama.

Well, Sarah. We could send McBush over and have him talk about bombing some country or poisoning them with cigarettes. Would that be more to your liking? Reading some of the McBush supporters' rants, it's easy to see why the WORLD is watching this race and hoping America can return to her greatness and leadership role. We used to be a role model for the world. We are so much better than W and McCain.

Obama/Webb 08!

Okay, I have an idea. From now on all candidates for president of the united states must meet the following requirements.

-must be intellegent
-must be articulate
-must be pure in heart and purpose

ya dig?

At least Obama knew Iraq and Pakistan don't share a border or it is not Checoslovaquia as an inexperinced leader compared to very and fully experinced McPain!

I cannot belive how a POW (McPain) could be a strong supporter of wars. Does he ever think about the destructions and the killings happened in those days?

Wow what Obama can do BEFORE he is even President. If this is a preview of what to expect…I think the whole world is sold as him leading the way in a new era of American diplomacy and peacemakers.

David, The land of your forefathers will cease to exist if Obama becomes President. Apparently you haven't studied this man as many of us have. He will do and say anything to get elected. That is his goal and only goal.

its nice to see a man of honor and truth visit the holy land.bush had the entire country in an uproar with his "appeasement" speeches there.now,israel gets a taste of 'hope',and the palestinians get a taste of 'hope',and it's contagious,and it spreads,and the world works together to strive for better lives for everyone.that's what makes 'hope' such a good thing.it has no bounds! vote for obama=vote for hope

The people of Israel aren't sure they trust you, but they do trust Hillary Clinton. Choosing her as your V.P. would help shore up the Jewish vote come November. Reason number 764 to choose her as your running mate.

This is the real deal !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job Mr. President, there are several jealous people here back home and all they can do is envy you.
We stand for Israel and care for their security and you are the best to achieve that
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Did anyone see the photo shot of Obama waving with a closed smile…then flashed a smile his pearly white teeth…You talk about drop dead Handsome…GQ Cover….now that a presidential image on the world wide stage.
Safe return home and God Bless you
Obama 08/12

LISA,

GET A LIFE!!! NOONE EXCEPT FOR YOU THINK OBAMA WALKS ON WATER. YOU HAVE THE SAME OLD SLAME COMMENTS ALL OF THE TIME. STOP BEING A HATER. HE IS BRILLIANT GENTLEMAN AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE. STOP TRYING TO MAKE OUT TO BE SOMETHING IS NOT. YOUR IGNORANCE IS GETTING OLD.

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT….MUCH NEEDED "CHANGE"

That's my next POTUS.

Obama 08, 12

Lisa…no one has ever considered him a god…and as a supporter…I don't believe he can walk on water. Only One was able to do that and as far as I have read in my bible…he never subscribed to the kind or ridiculous fear mongering and condemnation that I have seen the "conservatives" attack with.

A presidential candidate goes to Israel during the campaign to build relations, in the hopes of becoming the President of the United States…Ohmigosh…the world is coming to the end. Just let the campaign continue and vote for who your conscious tells you to vote for…then we'll see who's president.

Lisa, one question…Who should Obama debate. I know you done know the answer. Voters like you put America in it's current dilema by voting for Bush twice. Obama is the best thing for America nationally and internationally.

What I'M tired of is McCain tired townhall meetings!!!

The media sure is "ramming" Obama down our throats–this is news??

May God be with you and group as you present yourself to the world as the next president of the free world. God bless you and keep you now and always.

When is McCain going to stop bashing Obama and talk about his plans for the country??? He's off message.

I see Obama is already bilking the US taxpayers. Apparently, he is using taxpayer money to fly around the Middle East and Europe using a jet with his campaign logo.

Now THAT'S CHANGE!

Mark Ramsey MD Milwaukee WI July 22nd, 2008 5:50 pm ET

The people of Israel aren't sure they trust you, but they do trust Hillary Clinton. Choosing her as your V.P. would help shore up the Jewish vote come November. Reason number 764 to choose her as your running mate.
_______________________________________

Oh for Pete's Sake…Give it up already will you? She was beaten fair and square by rules she agreed to. She proved she can't be trusted by being caught in stupid lies. Who are you to say Isreal trusts Sen. Clinton more than Sen. Obama? Forget about it Doc, he isn't going to pick a land mine like the bankrupt Senator.

Sweetie,

Exactly what has Obama done to the Jewish community that would make the Jewish vote out of reach? Other than the lies about him being muslim which people like perpetuate.

We need to worry about our problems at home more..T. Boone Pickens for Vice President–either Party. He has an energy plan.

WHY IS IT that all of our politicians can be counted on to agree on one thing–support for the terrorist state of Israel? This shows me that our elections are a sham. The DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS, and MEDIA make up a single party who, like professional wrestlers, act like they're at each others' throats but really only put on a show. The truth is that they collude to keep you, the public, unaware of what is going on, happily funding America's demise.

I'm willing to bet that none of you know that before we established Israel on Palestinian land, the U.S. was loved throughout Southwest Asia. George Gallup did a poll between the close of WWII and 1948 which demonstrates this.

They hate us because we give Israel what it needs to occupy stolen land, and it isn't just "teh terrorists." Indeed, if you turn the TV off long enough to take part in a once-popular American past-time and think about it, you would see that you would hate us too if the roles were reversed.

Dump Israel! Now!

CNN PLEASE, PLEASE REPORT TO US NEXT WHEN OBAMA IS GOING TO THE BATHROOM. I CAN NOT WAIT FOR YOUR REPORTING!!!

In the news conference I watched today,Obama sat on the fence and almost made you feel sorry for the Palestinians–typical Obama–I thought our friend was Israel, not Palestine. When he gets through with this tour, we will look like a nation of turncoats to the world. The dictator regime leaders must be clapping in glee.

Ms. White said:

Did anyone see the photo shot of Obama waving with a closed smile…then flashed a smile his pearly white teeth…You talk about drop dead Handsome…GQ Cover….now that a presidential image on the world wide stage.

This is the criteria that democrats use to pick their candidates…..losers.

Bean counter, that's downright mean. After all, since you obviously forgot, he has a wife, 2 daughters, a sister, grandparents, etc.

I guess in another way, what has he done to you wish that he could never step foot in his ocountry again?
See, when you and other hate-filled people speak, all you do is make serious people recognize your ignorance and then we say, well, if that goof ball with unspeakable ideas is supporting McCain, and I would never think that about either of these candidtes, why then would I vote for McCain?
While at it, I think I'll suggest you go read Ephesians 4:29.
That's in the New Testament, towards the back of the Bible. Good luck.

And do you notice that its all the angry women Hillary supporters who keep saying,"oh he is so full of himself.." Are you kidding? Of Course he's confident, you have to be to run for President. Do you not think Hillary is not full of herself? Get over it. Vote for McCain and watch your rights go out the window. Hillary is not running again in 2012.

Obama is not qualified to even "act" like commander in cheif.
He should be bragging about McCain's position and experience in the Military.
What does he have in his resume: I am a Chicago politician with anti American friends.

john boy, do you really want to see McCain debate with Barrack Obama????? Close your eyes a picture a tired old 70 yr old man against a tall, dark and handsome man like Obama…Bring it on!!!

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you will join us
and the world will live as one

Americans should be proud the world is greeting this American politician with such eagerness. How in all thats bad going on in this country can anybody critisize this reception from other countries. Be proud America we have not seen this in a long time. Get over the hate some seem to be feeling.Lets come together as Americans and hope and support for a better United States.

Thank God for Lou Dobbs.
Obama is a joke.

Bean counter, that's downright mean. After all, since you obviously forgot, he has a wife, 2 daughters, a sister, grandparents, etc.

And MIke, from 5:29, you're right. Obama even said, we only have one President at a time. So even when you and your ilk espouse venom, he still comports himself in a mannerable way. Too bad you can't.
And, to be honest, some Obama supporters as well. But from what I see, more McCain supporters than Obama.

Mike, you can't even get your insults right… it was 57 states Obama referred to when he slipped up as opposed to 57 CONTEST…
Lets face it… you and Lisa hate him, because ….. (i don't know…) my guess is because you are paid to…. (and he 'did' have a great uncle liberate a death camp… he just got the name wrong… BUT HE KNOWS WHERE THE BORDERS OF AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN ARE… AND HE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUNNI AND SHIITE… oh, and wait… he also knows that Czeckloslovakia… DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE…

and Lisa… geez… i was gonna ask what planet you were on, but it is obviously planet republican…

could your 'reasons' for not liking him be MORE pathetic
(He's just the average man from Chicago with no experience sliding his way through the process without debating)—
you may as well have said… "talkingpoint, whaa-whaa, talkingpoint, blah-whaaaaa)

what is all this diplomacy and "talks" nonsense, what's obama trying to do, achieve peace in the middle east?!?!?!

"when he said the US had 51 states" MIKE, TX you need to get your own FACTS straight—obama said he had visited 57 states! and if anyone thinks obama doesnt know how many states they are, you're silly. saying "57 states" is NOTHING compared to ALL of mccain's complete lies and mis-statements; he doesnt even know who's fighting who and what countries border each other in the middle east—-yeah, THERE'S an excellent candidate who's STRONG on foreign policy! "pathetic" is a MUCH more appropriate description of mccain!

obama did not choose to have the press follow him. obama is their dream story, they'd be stoopid not to cover his visit. they know he's the next president of our great country, and this visit is the very beginning of peace—as much as is possible in the region—being restored in the middle east!

The media does love Obama. However, it's for a reason. Certainly, he's not a god. He's not perfect. I'm sure he makes mistakes on a daily basis.

But, when you've lived through the divisive fear-mongering which is today's American politics and foreign policy, he is a truyly refreshing voice and the WHOLE WORLD acknowledges this.

The only thing the haters here are hating is the fact that there's nothing this man does wrong… except his outer appearance and name.

I have a lot of hateful messages about both sides… but I have yet to see Obama do anything which is outright wrong or offensive.

The world is praying that our country is progressive enough to look past race… because the whole world wants Obama to be the president.

The world literally fears McCain. They know with McCain in office… diplomacy and peace are out the window.

He says he knows how to win wars? Which war did he win? I know it wasn't Vietnam because we didn't win that war. Maybe he's talking about this war here… but according to him we haven't won… wait.. according to him we have won… wait.. according to him leaving would be surrender… wait.. according to him we already won.. wait… I'm having a senior moment

Farrakhan supports Obama.
Read about his anti Semitic beliefs anywhere and you'd not be excitied about seeing Obama in your country.
Farrakhan had a rally of over 20,000 Nation of Muslam members a few months ago in Chicago.
Lou Dobbs covered Farrakhan, but apparently anti American or anti Semitics aren't a big deal to Obama maniacs.

Obama is risky and scary. Do your research.

Hey Janey,
Hillary lost, stop trying to stir up trouble. Your canidate lied, she ran a terrible campaign, she lost it herself. So you can on blaming everyone but her if it makes you feel better but you know deep down Clinton did this to herself. I tried to keep quiet the past couple months out of respect for Clinton but come on….give me a break. All you are doing now is making sure she will never get elected again.

Wow … the effort to distract America from Senator Obama's ground breaking trip is amazing.

1.) McCain VP speculation in the campaign's self admitted effort to steal the spotlight

2.) McCain trotting out surrogate after surrogate (all no names and has beens) to attack Obama

3.) McCain "yelling at clouds" …. IT's THE SURGE, I tell ya!

4.) McCain attempting to bash Obama in the NYT rather than lay out HIS PLAN for Iraq and Afghanistan …. troop levels, objectives, resources, costs, schedule, hurdles, etc.

5.) The gas pump AD …. a blatant LIE

6.) McCain kicking Gramm to the curb under the darkness of night

7.) TBD

8.) TBD

9.) TBD

Listen To All The Jealous Haters.

Obama 08

The debates are going to be fun to watch. Can't wait to see McCain blow his top once Obama puts McCain in his place. Why are the McCain supporters so anxious to see McCain publically humiliate himself?

Obama's stance is a lot stronger than McCain's in many different areas. Obama doesn't have to wait on McCain - McCain has to wait on Obama. Besides, McCain isn't going to have nothing new to say [criticize is more like it] during any debate.

Rick…

so, Ms White is attracted to Obama….

big deal….

Perhaps you should try drinking a little LESS hator-ade…..

Eva, Janie, Rick…If you don't like the way CNN reports the news, or the next President of the U.S. for that matter, by all means go back to your homeland at FOX where the news is reported as Rupert wishes. By the way, take Lisa with you; won't you please?

This man, Barack Hussein Obama, is totally LOST. Why, oh WHY, is this man running as a candidate for President? He is so totally under qualified and completely inexperienced. There is no way that this man can be President and accomplish the work. Obama Now shows to the World that he is Lost!!! Not only does it show on his face, but in his speech. Obama's bravado is GONE WITH THE WIND!

"This is the criteria that democrats use to pick their candidates…..losers."

yep, i'm only voting for obama cuz he's FOXY, and definitely NOT because he's intelligent, well-spoken, FORWARD-thinking, on the side of americans, PRO-TROOPS. forget all that junk, i just want him in the white house so i can drool over him for 4 years.

george bush was a handsome guy and i NEVER voted for HIM!

The McCain Supporters Are So Jealous!

What a gimmick. When you meet the Israelis say that you are with them and when you meet Palestinians, say you are with them. Barack will be the most dangerous president for Israel. He will sit with Ahmedinejad and sell Israel to iranians. Watch out.

This …. as opposed to the CONservative, right-wing fascists!!!!!!!
Yeah.. the right has done a bang-up job….. NOT!

To those of you that constantly make debate comments about Obama… and that Hillary out-debated him… you guys have short memories.

Obama schooled her at every single debate except for one.. that one debate where the orators did nothing but throw mud and slams at both the candidates rather than talking about any issues. On that one debate.. Obama got flustered and pissed off… where Hillary was ok with it… but she's used to dealing with mud.

All the other debates… Obama schooled her. In fact.. it was shortly after the debates that Hillary would take Obama's lines and use them as her own… the most conspicuous one was "We give the military leaders the orders and agendas, and they decide how to carry out those orders in the most responsible way… the military does not give us the orders and agendas"

So enough of Obama slamming on the debates. Every other debate, everyone was saying how presidential, poised, and intelligent Barack was.

Way to go Obama! He looked so presidential on tv last night. Americans should be proud of the representation he is giving to our country.

Obama '08

Obama has 24/7 press coverage of his overseas visit because he is smart enough and insightful enough to invite them…. Wow how freshing the thought of an intelligent humanbeing in the White House and President of this country……………..McSame ..being a p.o.w. during the vietnam war doesn't make you a hero or quailifed to be president!! By the way where exactly is the pakistan/iraq border?

mike,tx.-the trip to iraq and afghanistan was paid for by taxpayers.the rest of his journey is paid by people like me,his campaign,so,educate yourself before you lie.

"Running on Empty"! I think that was the Phrase CNN used yesterday. An old Song? Borack Obama reminds us all of the song…

MAYBE ISRAEL WILL BRING HIM TO REALITY THAT HE ISN'T THE MESSIAH. I HOPE THEY SEE HIM FOR THE BIG JOKE HE IS. AMERICA GETS WHAT THEY ASK FOR.

THE WORLD IS GLAD TO HAVE OBAMA AS THERE GUEST AFTER 8*YRS OF THE VILLAGE IDIOT RUNNING OUR COUNTRY !!!!!!!!

at least 'try' to get the party-line, lie-filled "insults" right, could you??

Enlightened Voter: You've obviously fallen for this Fraud, Obama. Too bad. Obama's shirt is still as EMPTY as it was when he was running for the nomination……….and so totally inexperienced and unknown that he'll FAIL before he'll ever, ever succeed. Further, the United States has ONLY the Lying Media to tell us about his trip to the Mideast. WHO believes the Media these days?

Congrats to Obama for giving the United States and the world a reason to hope again. Stay positive and on que. It is important that we rebuild our relations with our foreign allies.

THE ONLY HOUSE O.B. WILL GO TO IOS THE NUT HOUSE ALONG WITH HIS LOST MINDED FOLLOWERS.

Obama is well received in all of the countries he is visiting. Obama is correct in what he is doing & getting high praise from all the foreign leaders. Obama has the right foreign policy. He has been right from the beginning & he has continued to be right. By the way; I agree with all the comments from Lee,Dallas, Texas.

CMS = hater…

Sebastian,

THANK YOU FOR A VERY THOUGHTFUL POST…

I see a lot of pseudosupporters making ridiculous comments about Obama being the Messiah or other such horse crap. Those are not Obama supporters, those are sarcastic republicans. True Obama supporters know that WE are going to save America from the neoconservatives. We are donating time and money to help Obama, we are doing it to help ourselves and giving ourselves the power to change our communities and our national direction.

I am a Bush #41 fan and am very disappointed in Bush #43. But we can make up for the error. OBAMA '08.

Listen Mc cain this article is draith for you:

Mc cain you cant win in Iraq, if you want to win over there on your own, a lot of your soldiers will continue to be killed, also you will need the help of your allies and even so.

Ok you can secure a zone but the war that the US are facing is a difficult war to win. the reason is that the terrorist will fight mainly against you like they do against Israel. By using attentats against the civil and the soldiers.
A undred years won't change anything, look israel since hom many years are they trying to solve their problems with the Palestinians… until when One day BOOM an other attentat in Jerusalem.

Check on wikipedia and you will see how many civil have been killed in Iraq by attentats since the beginning of this ridiculous war . It's true that Saddam was a dictator but now day by day people are living within insecurity and fear.
Let say that before the war everything was fine. (if not)
Also when the US army will leave Iraq may be things will become difficult in Iraq like now in Afghanistan. So now how is going to look after the Iraqis people?
Talking with your enemies is always better than : Yeah we have to destroyed Iran because they don't listen to us. joker.

Did you forget all the muslim countries in the world?
You can't just come and say ok let's have a war because it could happen that a stupid war be a the third world war.

Iran is not Iraq, Saddam was not seen as a good man in his own nation but the president of Iran is seen differently in is community.

Encore merci (Once again merci)

Julien

Wheres the actual policies? Will he demand that Irael stop building on the West Bank. Does he think Jerusalem should be a joint capital or not? All this talk of peace but what exactly is he going to do to achieve it. Now is the time for answering questions not signing autographs.

JD is proof positive that Repubs will be critical, even when there is nothing to be critical about.

to rick THE BIG LOSER……ENVY AND HATRED WILL GET YOU NOWHERE….UNLESS YOU LOOK LIKE mcugly…. mcwringle….mcshame.

A real president. A real man. A real father. A real friend. Obama.

And yes….he does "walk on water" compared to McDumb.

mccain had to ride in on a goat when he last went to israel.

It's time to move this country forward and establish long term relationships and partnerships to help us fight global terrorism. The cowboy mentality needs to move on. Obama is articulate and has the talent, skill and foresight to make Americas foreign policy strong and respected once again..

Listen Mc cain this article is sraith for you:

Mc cain you cant win in Iraq, if you want to win over there on your own, a lot of your soldiers will continue to be killed, also you will need the help of your allies and even so.

Obama walks and talks like a true diplomat. he will have no troubles
debating Mr McCain. i just dont think Mr Mccain can debate on a large arena with many types of questions hitting him from all directions.
Mr McCain will show his true colors then.
no makeup can make that look better.

Lets get debating

Hey Georgie,

Obama is full of himself, then what do call that condescending senile warmonger that can't say two sentences without praising himself and calling his opponents naive. You republicans are disgusting from top to down and lie as easy as people drink water.

Mike, Syracuse, NY July 22nd, 2008 5:26 pm ET

What right does Obama have to reaffirm anything? He's not the President yet, and he doesn't speak for the US.
_____________________________________________________
Mike what planet do you live on? 4,100 soldiers are dead, trillions of dollars waisted, our economy is down the drain, no OBL yet, 7,000 Americans loosing their homes a day, and all these parting gifts given to us by John McCain and the Republican Party….not liking Obama is one thing, but don't like him because of his policies (if you even know what they are, i suggest you go to his website and read). otherwise have a great day!

All Aboard The Jealous Express:

Lisa, JD, Philly Abe, no no no!, Mike, Syracuse, NY, georgie, Sweetie

NotFallingInLine.org, Fed up with the lies, Dietrich, Kathy,

Janey/Michigan, Liz, sarah!

I am so proud to be an AMERICAN! this man makes me very proud.

will Israel anoint obama the messiah as have all of the other mid east leaders??? stay there with jimmy carter and spare America…the puppet is having his strings attached.

Sarah…
whats he gonna do speechify them all into submission?

YOU "MUST" BE CONFUSING OBAMA WITH "BUSH"…

People you have to just accept the fact that Obama is presidential material. It is in his DNA Just look at him over seas with these Foreign leaders. the Foreign leaders looks very excite over Obama the leaders is looking for fresh and new policy current ideas for this country. Clearly Mccain is not the man Mccain is more of the same as Bush and will not offer new ideas.

It cracks me up to see PUMA losers and other circus freak right wingers calling Obama "ignorant" and a "moron". Are you people so ignorant yourselves that you don't even know what these words mean? Obama is highly educated and articulate. Tell me you don't like some of his policies and I'll listen. Rant like an idiot and you'll be called out for it.

Since he thinks he has the answers to the worlds problems why doesn't he just stay over there?? I think they need him to solve the thousand of yrs of their fighting, and problems more than we do. We have a lot of capable people here to run things if we just had capable voters to elect them,

I think Obama is good at bridging gaps, bringing real change, and talking about things openly. But WHY must the US have such a "special" relationship with Israel (i.e. we give them tons of money for weapons) and no one else? Actually, why must we give so much military aid to anyone??? Israel can defend themselves. They have nuclear weapons and so do we. Why do we get all scared when someone else tries to get them? These are the questions Obama and McCain need to start answering!

Some days, i just can't deal with all the garbage and ignorant comments by professional Obama-haters….

my apologies for my posts going directly at all of the idiocy…

I see Obama is already bilking the US taxpayers. Apparently, he is using taxpayer money to fly around the Middle East and Europe using a jet with his campaign logo.

Now THAT'S CHANGE!

___________________________________________

Mike, you appear to be confused.

The presumptive nominee who made all of his trips at taxpayer's expense is McCain.

Obama's travel the first part of this week (until he got to Jordan) was sponsored by the Pentagon as a congressional investigation (Senators Obama, Hagel and Reed) at taxpayers' expense.

Obama's travel on the jet with his logo (from his arrival in Jordan until he gets back here) is paid by his campaign … and you would be hard put to find any donor who doesn't think he or she got their money's worth many times over.

Tejano…
He will do and say anything to get elected.

SO FAR… HE HAS SAID ALL OF THE "RIGHT" THINGS……

SO FAR… HE HAS SAID ALL OF THE "TRUTHFUL" THINGS….

and won't it be nice to elect a president 'that' way for the first time in a decade…

**************************************

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY REPUBLICANS THINK THAT PEOPLE WHO LIKES OBAMA AS A CANDIDATE VIEW HIM AS A "GOD/ROCKSTAR".

I THINK REPUBLICANS THINK WE THINK OBAMA IS A GOD/PROCKSTAR IS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T STAND THE FACT THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS GREAT ADMIRATION AND SUPPORT FOR A BETTER CANDIDATE AND THUS, THEY ARE STARTING TO THINK HE MIGHT REALLY BE A "GOD/ROCKSTAR" WHICH SCARES THEM.

LIKE THE WISER BUSH SAID: "JUST A LIL JEALOUS, ATS AL"

STOP THE MADNESS. VOTE OBAMA.

scary to think this country may not elect him… once in a generation candidate and 50% of the country too bull-headed or stupid to look past their party lines and vote for him.

PUMA-SE
You rang?? I think that you have your candidates mixed up. That was McCain who didn't know what Middle East countries border on which. It is McCain who forgets what he does and doesn't vote on. That was McCain who forgot that Czechoslovakia is no longer….need I say more.
It sorta looks like you might really be on our side after all. A PUMA couldn't be that ignorant of the real facts, could they??

Tejano July 22nd, 2008 5:49 pm ET

David, The land of your forefathers will cease to exist if Obama becomes President. Apparently you haven't studied this man as many of us have. He will do and say anything to get elected. That is his goal and only goal.
_____________________________________________________
think of this as no longer a white America, Black America, Latino America, Asian America but simply AMERICA!!! we all have forefathers and foremothers who together have made this the best dam Country in the world….think about it even LISA has the right to spew her/his hate!~!!!!

A bunch of words and doesn't say anything.
Oh yes, other countries love us. You will notice they call for us when they desparatley need help.
Why is Obama and his supporters so adamant in denying he is a muslim.?? If he thought they were such good people he/they should be admitting to it and saying he is proud of it. Think about it if you are capable of thinking beyond a headline or campaign spin.
So, he has picked up McCains and Bushes Iraq goal. Another switch.
I wonder what he thinks of the madrasa Saudi funded schools right here in good old USA. maybe it will be thought about after the Islamists take over from Spain to China and they have collapsed our economy.

Thank you Barack, once again we are respected by other countries.

It's not about Obama's color. It's about experience and service to the country. McCain has fought the wars and has been in politics for years. Obama is just a ONE YEAR senator of IL. So what is that? No matter what, Bush is heading from office, so that is given BIG CHANGE! So what CHANGE can Mr. Obama give? Change white to black? Make poor to rich? Pay off somebody's debts, buy people a new car, make gas back to 0.99 cents a gallon? WHAT CHANGE IS HE TALKING ABOUT? All these promises his talking about ALL THESE CHANGE is all a given. WHAT GUARANTEE CAN HE GIVE TO MAKE A GOOD CHANGE? IS HE PLAYING GOD NOW THAT HE WILL MAGIC? He needs more experience and proof of service to the country. If Ms. Rice will run as a President, then she is a good candidate. She showed the world her capabilities!

SO FOR THOSE WHO ARE BLINDED WITH ALL GIMMICKS ABOUT CHANGE, DOOM IS COMING FOR THEM!

one hamas to the other obama
fits right in with this part of the world
let them keep him over there

Rick:
I choose the candidate that had the foresight to know that Iraq was the wrong place to be, that we really needed to focus on Afganistan; where the plot for 9/11 originated.

I choose the candidate that is not going to pander to Americans with a stupid gas tax holiday.

I choose the candidate that believes we need to pull out of Iraq. The Iraqi government even AGREES with him.

I choose BARACK OBAMA.

It will be so nice to have a President who is respected around the world. Our reputation is not what it once was. On a recent Tour abroad with my mother when asked where we were from, we got the look of pity and the "oh your 're American", then the conversation quickly changed to Obama. To Europeans it not a black white issue but who they think is competent to lead. Two of our tour mates from New Zealand are actually coming to the US in November for the election , sightseeing, and the promise of a thanksgiving dinner. We are a global society the world is watching.

Oh brother. He's only concerned with Israel's surrender! Shame on you Obama! Shame!! Vote for Cynthia McKinney instead. A true patriot.

Wonder Boy morphed first into Hillary, then to her right (FISA vote), and is now heading toward McCain! (More troops needed NOW in Afghanistan and we'll leave a lot in Iraq, too, for who knows how long - maybe 100 years???) It's wonderful to watch, although I guess some cultists are disappointed. Personally, I'm not disappointed at all - Obama is everything I thought he would be. (Oops, I'm snickering again…there I go.)

CHANGE!! Really? Every day CHANGE seems to be moving off into the distance……………..oh, well.

A clear case of someone (read Obama) demonstrating that is it now possible to full all of the people all of the time. Well, almost all.

Kathy…
The man is so full of himself. All he does is talk, he doesn't have the guts or experience to be President. What a loser.

…. and he is a graduate of Harvard
….and he is a constitutional scholar
….and he is a Professor and former editor of the harvard Law Review
….and he is a former State Senator in Illinois
….and he is a CURRENT United States Senator
….and he is THE current presumptive Democratic Nominee for President of the United States of America

and YOU are…….???????

To All Obama Supporters:

The campaign is going to get nastier and nastier. It's difficult because the McCain camp realizes they are not going to get what you want. They'll say anything to change someone's mind. They're losing ground and they're running around like crazy people shouting "fire". It won't work, we've lived through the "WORST ADMINISTRATION IN MODERN HISTORY", with the "WORST PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY". We re ready to take our country back because we are sick of the lies and deceptions.

Obama will win the presidency and John McSame and his ilk should get over it.

GOBAMA!

I'm sorry, but I just can't pay $10. for gasoline. I will vote for Barack because I think George and his cronnies are COMPLETELY responsible fo the gasoline prices.

Obama 08

He says what nmeans and he means what he says.

Refreshing.

Cevans, tx - You may think Obama is a Brilliant Gentleman but I don't.

WB, PSL - Obama was scared to debate Hillary, claimed he debated her 22 times and that was enough. Where I was raised, if you are running to become the President of the United States it shouldn't matter how many times you debate, who's counting.

Emma, San Jose, CA - I can say whatever I want this is a free country. I'm debating about how inexperience Obama is and i'm shocked people like you can see past his used car salesmen techinques.

Nikole - I'm can't wait for the debate between Mccain and Obama this will be very interesting.

LOL, so McCain can't pay someone to campaign for him. That story is so funny. He's as about as exciting as a doorknob.

Obama 08

Barack will be just fine without Hillary, and I think better. At least he won't have to watch his back. Besides, she's more than occupied trying to raise money to pay her bills.

Obama 08

He looks SOOOOOO PRESIDENTIAL

Obama is the man of the century - at least this first quarter of it. This is too big for most simple American folk to figure out. I like McCain, but listening to him speak, those silly mistakes about geography, etc… he is just not qualified to be a president. I can't imagine that he'd even win another term in the senate in homestate AZ. His time is over. To compensate for their weak candidate the republican war machine is gearing up, taking aim, firing salvos at best hitting near-misses. Keep spending that money on advertising. It's amusing to watch it being critiqued on the Daily Show. The race can no longer be described as competitive. Even my redneck state of Ohio is going to be in blue column in November.

Can the most ardent McCain supporters IMAGINE world leaders relating this way to McCain? No.

WOW! I just heard from an extremely reliable source that, Mr. Obama, while he was in Israel no less, breathed in, AND THEN *gasp* he breathed out!! And he does that all the time! Isn't he just dreamy and super-qualified to be President??????

BUSH for VP!!!

LIARRRRRRRRR

Let the old man have his "surge". The real surge will be in November, when Americans surge to vote for President Obama. I can't wait.

To those of you who say that Obama is acting as if he is the President already. YOU NEED TO THANK McSame, he bullied, poked and accused Obama of not having visited these countries for years, now that he is being excepted more then McSame during his visits, all you all want to do is complain.

Now that Obama has shown mcsame to be the one that's the empty suit, white shirts and jeans and a flip flopping old man.

Obama has proven he has what it takes to be a leader. Get over it haters, he is what he is…..a leader.

You make us very PROUD to be Americans….. Now, we can start to rebuild our reputation around the world.

Hey Truth,religion is one thing and a personnal relationship with God is another.
Obviously there is no Truth in You.Jesus is TRUTH!
As for me I'm praying for Barack Obama .I've already annointed him with oil on my TV set to be the next President of U.S.A in the Name of My Lord Jesus.

miketx…boy you sure are stupid, but i respect your right to be stupid.

Obama rocks, he is not a God or Messiah but he will make a great President

Now McWar……are you counting the days Obama hasn't been to Iraq?

Or counting the days til he comes home and makes you look like a fool even more?

Lisa—- Lisa Now this is too much!!
Lisa— This is why people think Obama walks on water, the media make him out to be some kind of God when he's not. He's just the average man from Chicago with no experience sliding his way through the process without debating
To LISA You are beyond REPAIR…….You need to JOIN the McCain STAFF

Barack Hussein Obama

When are you coming in Europe ?, you will be welcome:
_ like a king
_ much better than some part of your own country.

Barack we know that you have a brain not like some in the GOP

Julien

The Hillary cats are out. They just will not get over the fact that she was a selfish, lying, self-centered woman who only cared about herself.

That is why she is scrambling now to raise money for a campaign that she knew she couldn't win. But what did she care, she'd just run up the tab, and get the money from her supporters. Remember when she said "I
