I do believe it was RNC who had a clock on their website counting him down to go overseas. Now that he is overseas and is getting more attention than John McCain will ever get, you say he's arrogant. You know what I would be arrogant too when you have the Bush admin. who called you naive now talking to Iran, coming up with a time withdraw, and sending troops into afghanistan. Everything Obama suggested Bush is doing. So if he wants to hold is head up high high he should hold it. Stop hating. Haterade is not a great flavor to drink. Travis in Colorado:

The way he has conducted himself on this tour and otherwise is downright impressive, awesome and gracefull. McCain also have been touring foreign countries after nomination but doesn't come close to the way Obama steered his hosts to host him. He sparks jubilation and optimicism in the viewers, McCain exhudes depression. A very shinning guy, I must say. Senior Bush had to acceede, ' a little jealous is all". Those who say, he is inexperienced sound silly. Look at the way he has conducted himself through the thick and thin of primaries and afterwards too. Among all who had been in the race he is the one who made fewer mistakes and he is the one who scored best. If elected he could be one of the best presidents ever. Very bright and breezy sort of guy.

You people keep trying to paint Obama as inexperienced and doesn't no anything but the fact is that he has shown more experience and knowledge on foreign policy and economical issues than both McCain and Bush put together. This man has become well liked not because he is trying to please people; it's because he is intelligent, comfortable with being himself and true is to the people. Barack understands the issues we face because he has faced the same issues unlike Bush and McCain. They don't understand you or the people of America. So, if anyone is BLIND it is those who keep trying to push McCain in they eyes of America as heroic and that this make him one of us. Well, I beg the differ he is not one of us. He is a Warmonger who left his disabled wife for a wealthy women to carry his political finances. How can anyone support a man of this kind? While you question Barack faith; I question McCain morals and value which mean he lacks all three, faith, morals, and values. THAT'S A PROBLEM WE DON'T NEED IN THE WHITE HOUSE ANY LONGER. BUSH WAS ENOUGH. To all the Obama haters:

It's gotten to the point I can't even stand to watch CNN any more. Commentators and anchors don't even to appear to have any qualms coming out and directly supporting Obama. This is not what our founding fathers had in mind when they called for freedom of the press. In fact it was established to stop this time of skewed media reporting, except in this case its the free media and not government media we have to watch out for. People need to stand up and tell the media we will not allow them to annoint the next president of the United States. The flagrant bias in this campaign makes me sick to my stomach.

He was lucky not to be killed (not yet) like other peace activist Rabin. With both leaders being pro-peace, I undersand the respect they have for each other. I respect their respect.
