Doesn't Obama think that he needs to have a "special relationship" with the American people?

AMERICA – IT IS TIME FOR US TO WAKE UP!

It is way past the time for Obama to realize that he is NOT going to beat McCain in November unless he decides to put Hillary Clinton on the ticket. He alone will not be able to beat McCain unless he has Hillary on the ticket.

Plus, he needs to focus on what he plans on doing for the American people and not what is he going to do for everyone else exception the American people.

WAKE UP AMERICA AND LET OUR WORDS BE HEARD!

Obama/Clinton 2008

It appears that all of Europe is happy that we will have a president that can speak in full sentences. A candidate that is not older than dirt, McSeniles own words, and does not laugh at his own demeaning jokes. I for one was very proud of the way that Senator Obama conducted himself.

Another great day for Obama. Forgeing important ties with leaders of a great American friend and ally, Great Britain.

You are talking to #2, Obama.. Another failure....

More photo ops for Sen. Barry Dunham Soetoro Obama.

McCain '08.

I'll be so glad when John McCain is in the White House and Sen. Obama is back in the Senate, and once again voting "present" on bills presented to the Senate.

hey, repugs, THAT is how it's done. 2 DECENT people INTELLIGENTLY discussing the world's REAL problems and how to fix them! no bullying, no demands, no lies, no arrogance-aka NO REPUGS!!!!

it's time for you idiot bully neoCON jerks to step aside and let the intelligent, cool kids rule the world. your time is up-and the good news is you guys CANNOT hide from The Hague, you may run scared from america (to dubai, is my guess), but The Hague can track you war criminals down and bring you to justice no matter WHERE you are in the world! i hope you like silver jewelry, cuz those bracelets are going to be LOVELY on you all!!!!!

I was glad to see Maliki's papal visit. I disagree with Obama that Iran should accept France's proposal. I will stand with Russia and support Iran for their big ambitions, big ideas, intellectual debate, sense of independence, strong personality and faith in the present. Fiji stands by them, Fiji understands them and demand a request for a papal visit for Iran.

i love britain ,but,they could stand a few lessons in the english language.i cant unnerstand a word they say.

Right on...progress in progress.

He said it. "I've been perceived ... sometimes as a genius, at others an idiot." This was Senator Obama's remark as he wrapped up his Middle Eastern and European visit, and judging the attitudes and words from cable news pundits - the latter is getting more play and votes. It will indeed be interesting to see how the trip fall-out will affect his poll numbers. So far, it doesn't look too good.

Thank you Senator Obama. You did such a great job meeting with some of the world leaders. We do need the help and cooperation of other countries. We need to repair our standing in the world as a strong but generous nation. The countries love Americans, its the present adminitration and its actions it has not loved. Such as, pouring French wine in the streets and eating "Freedom Fries" what the heck was all that about. You did a great job and I am very proud of you. You have my vote!

Excellent job Mr. Obama... World is watching us now and you already won their hearts. You are the man
OBAMA (2008 -16)

Obama looks presidential and more in touch with other heads of state than grumpy old John McCain. The ability to talk on multiple issues with others is very important for a U.S. president and I don't see John McCain's ability to do so even here at home. Support Obama.

Cnn didn't mention at all this morning the interview with Wolf Blitzer and John Mccain yesterday on the Situation Room. Mccain said that a 16 month time table to withdrawl was a good idea according to conditions on the ground. Mccain cant play both sides. Mccain cant say the surge succeeded in reducing the violence on the ground and wants to hold withdrawls from Iraq according to conditions on the ground because that is proving he not sure that the violence or the surge has succeeded. If the surge succeeded like Mccain touted on the stump all week than why is he still basing withdrawls according to conditions on the ground. Its either the surge succeeded or it hasing succeeded yet and if so Mccain is prematurely stating that the surge is a success while still in progress. Mccain has shown to be very desperate and angry this week unable to concentrate on delivering his message. Tonight Obama will be on U.S. and back on the stump talkimg about pocket book issues and Mccain blew an opportunity to deliver his message and policies to voters.

Obamas trip overseas that included a meeting with the British prime minister just points up how comfortable and forward thinking he is compared to McBush. The ideas are new and fresh not the same old stale ideas that McBush has that are the presidents views also. The world is tired of Bush and his cowboy mentality, and don;'t want more of the same with McCain.

How wonderful it is to see That America is being respected once again! I am just shocked that it is a democrat bringing the change. I am sad and ashamed that my party has become such a bed of hate and fear. Most of the senior leadership claim to be Christian yet they do not show even the basic Christian tributes. Faith, Hope, and Charity but the greatest of these is Love.

obama will pick as his vp former microsoft founder bill gates

What the hell? If it takes a mere 30 minutes to form a "special relationship" with a stranger, than I have made thousands of "special relationships" that I was not even aware of around the world!

Crazy! Clinton FOREVER!

Breaking News!! Just read on The Page(Time) that McSame will holding a BBQ at his Sedona Ranch, guess its time for him to feed his "Base" opps i meant MSM seeing how they have been neglecting their job of Obama-bashing and MsSame praising of recent.
Dems Unite/ Landslide '08.

Glad someone cares about the American Image. GO OBAMA!

The world hates us and hates Bush. McSame will not be any different.

LOOKING GOOD!

No surprise a true leader.

Advice to Obama and his campaign:

Bring up the fact that McCANE had to cancel a photo op because of an OIL SPILL!!!! It will take all the wind out of his argument to drill offshore!! Don't let this opprotunity get away.

mcCANE is not a leader!! a leader would have addressed the environmental DISASTER!!!! Hammer this point home!!!

Another problem that will also have global consequences is the apparent willingness of Americans to entrust leadership to individuals without the slightest qualifications whatsoever.

Two options: Go It Alone–Bush/McCain or World Partner-Obama

Go it alone means that the U.S. will have to have a huge military budget. Also, the U.S. will suffer huge war casualties. Also, the costs of global climate change will continue to occur and free trade policies that do not address standards will cause more salmonella outbreaks in food, lead in toys and other bacteria in other products.

Being a good world partner means that the U.S. military budget does not need to be as large. The U.S. can partner with its allies to share the military burden as part of NATO. Issues such as terrorism, global climate change, AIDS and nuclear arms proliferation can be addressed by cooperation with other nations. The U.S. could then take some its resources to address the U.S. economy. Therefore, It prefer Obama and his view that U.S. needs to be a better world partner.

God he is SO presidential! He really is our new great hope! The world is embracing him, now if only we can move on!!

PUKAH – People Uniting Killing American Hopes!

FACT: PUMA Founder donated $500 to John McCain in 2000!! Not bad for a "home maker" and mother of 3!

FACT: 69% of traffic coming out of the PUMA website is from RED states!

I wonder what kind of special "relationship" CNN is talking about? Did he visit an airport recently?

What on earth is happening? I wonder if obama has a special relationship with Larry Craig too?

That's great, a guy who is barely hanging on in the British parliament and a guy who isn't even yet the Democratic nominee for the upcoming elections talking about the special relationship that the two countries have, needless to say that by this time in November, possibly both of these two won't be in charge of their respective countries.

Welcome back home!!! Great job and we look forward to seeing you lead here.

Seems to me everyone is on the same page of Unity, except mccain, mccain campain and the bush administration

For some reason the Saturday moderator never lets me on,now why is that?

Blair is gone and Bush soon to be gone. I wish Mr. Brown and you good luck in cleaning up the mess the first two have left behind.

I know you can do it!

What did the Downing Street Memos say?

Obama is a breath of fresh air after America has been stuck with breathing pollution over the last 7 years. McCain just seems offer more of that pollution.

Americans should cut Mr. McCain some slack when it comes to some of his more glaring mistakes. Although I am a few years younger than Mr. McCain I am still a senior and have to face the inevitable fact that some of our faculties diminish with time.

Hopefully most of you younger people will be lucky enough to reach John's age and can gracefully accept the diminishment of mind an memory as a natural process and not something to be ridiculed.

You should also consider the fact the daily attacks on his opponent are more party tactics than his personal strategy as he has to comply with the more Conservative views and ideology to keep his voting base. Hopefully people can block out the tasteless thoughts and concentrate on each candidate's policies and stature.

Conservatism is conservatism and will not change whether implemented by the current administration or Mr. McCain. So either you like present day policies or you prefer to go in a new direction with Mr. McCain's opponent. Your choice is very clear it's your country and your future so simply support the program and policies that best suit your own personal circumstances.

Let's just remember. The Brits and other Europeans don't elect our president. Their opinions don't matter that much.

Can I remind y'all that Russia HAS nuclear weapons and is one of the world's 10 most powerful nations? It might 'seem' small they are patrolling Artic waters for the first time since the Cold War, but Russia and China are possibly more important in regards to world order than Afghanistan or Iran.
McCain's comments during this campaign of his plan to boot Russia out of the G8, and bar China, could be an omen to the biggest danger to World and American security if he ever sits in the Oval Office.
(The Iraq War is NOT an international conflict, it is a Civil War which Americans have invested 5000 lives and billions of dollars to police. The only way for the splurge to be called a 'success' is continue it for the next 100 years. Paying bribe money to the enemy is an idiotic McCain and Petreus military formula which is worse than negotiating with terrorists.

Americans will not be fooled by an adoring press. We will not support someone with so little experience. The press can keep pushing him on us but the voters will not elect him. We are not electing an American Idol. We are electing a president, which is more than a popularity contest.

Also, the last time I checked Europeans could not vote in US elections.

We will choose experience, judgment, and a genuine hero over a zero every time!

Democrats for McCain!

Man, Dennis Kucinich is as ugly as a mud fence. No offense to mud fences. Of course most of those type are homily as well as dumb.
If the Dems had spent as much time in the last eight years working on things of importance instead of trying to oust Bush they might be more credible but of course not. Typical do nothings including Hussein and Teddy.

You mean someone from the U.S. is wondering around Europe telling the leaders what we think they should do? This isn't going to work. We need someone like McCain who knows how to choke officials when they dare disagree with us. That's how you build consensus. Talking is for fairies.

Wao!!!! We all now see what you see , Mr. Brown said. to Obama
Yes, the world want a change !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Real change
Not the same old story, tricks, spin and blood sucking policy.
Equal right and Justice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice picture with Prime Minister. Obama knows what's doing, he will definetely be president of U.S.A.

Senator Obama,

You will face harsh attacks from Senator John McCain becuse you are doing what is right. By forging a foreign relationship abroad you are helping to restore America standing in the world. Yes, Senator McCain is a old bitter man who is stuck in the past and want to destroy the enviroment just look at the Oil Spill in the Mississippi River the enviromental impact will be felt for at least 10 years.

John McCain is old style Bush leadership.....

Obama 08

Good trip Senator... it show that the world leaders, specially in Europe, would want a non cowboy in the white house. This is also to trash those people that say you don't have foreign experience.

Obama's appeal is indicative of the fact that America and the world at large is tired of Bush and his unilateralism.
McCain already showing signs of inconsistency(senility?) is going to be much of the same.He should not be given the opportunity to reveal his warious instinct by causing another war.

Well Senator McCain did suggest that he Senator Obama take this trip abroad. I guess you really should be careful what you wish for.

This was a very good trip for Senator Obama and after listening to Senator McCain's envious "Presidential Radio address" I can say that I certainly understand his frustration.

Interesting that Senator Obama chose to not visit the wounded soldiers to avoid politicizing them – and Senator McCain and the Republicans have chosen to TOTALLY politicized the issue!

Kind of demonstrates why Senator Obama has the high moral ground, doesn't it?

It never ceases to amaze me how space aliens like Dennis Kucinich are allowed to hold office in America, much less speak out with their wackery. Even more remarkable is that anyone could possibly take them seriously, or reports on them.
