As far as the question of whether it was unfair for the media to send so many to cover the trip....please consider the following...... Imagine that the US media sent no-one to cover the tour. Now fast forward and look at all the attention, the huge crowds from Berlin to Paris and London. Now tell me ...how could any network justify their ignoring this huge story. Failure to recognize this colossal evolving event would have become the story itself...and the hand-wringing would have been over how can the media be expected to do it's job...to cover a big story if they have to obsess with how it would look politically.

A lot of these vague, irrational comments don't really add anything to the conversation, especially when the comments seem to lack proper grammar and spelling, only to ramble off with no clear point. It's frustrating to see comments like these let in while I'm sure there are many readers contributing posts that are much more thought out. As far as the situation with Obama's overseas trip is concerned, it's nice to see that at least someone understands the fact that we can't talk about America's problems without factoring in for the world's problems. I can't believe how many people would like to believe that we can fix our domestic security issues without considering where it is they come from in the world. Not to mention the fact that while some people would like to revert our nation to a state of isolationism similar to that of the early 1900s, the truth of the matter is that this is largely a fantasy, given today's state of affairs, and we can't talk about our economy without talking about the global economy. The list of important international issues we should be talking about goes on and on. I think CNN needs to be a little more discriminating when it comes to which posts it lets through.

His answers are crafted in a way to offend the fewest number of voters and stradle both sides of the issue at hand. No matter what he's asked, he will explain the possible ways he can answer a question before providing a non answer. I give him credit for being a great politician but no credit for having core beliefs. Maybe that's why he's so "popular" and at the same time is basically in a dead heat with a man with core convictions but little personality. At least McCain will answer yes or no without trying to nuance an issue to death. Man, Obama is wishy washy. He can't answer questions with a simple yes or no.

It's high time we have a proactive leader and negotiator as opposed to the knee jerkers who currently govern us. For the past eight years, Republicans Cheney, Bush, McCain and the like have not gone after the 9/11 Terrorists holed up in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Rather, they have squandered American lives and trillions of dollars in Iraq. It is no wonder our economy has sufferred, the infra-structure decayed, and Middle East gasoline and oil prices rising to further send our economy into a tizzy. But, what do these Republicans care? They're filthy rich and unaffected by motgage foreclosures and 60,000 lost jobs each month. "Made in America" to them means nothing.

His socialist principles indirectly harm the very people that they try to help. This country was founded on the idea that government does not provide everything for the people, and the only limits we have are the ones we put on ourselves. Taxes and government spending discourage economic growth and limits the number of jobs available to low-income families. I don't agree with everything McCain says but he is the lesser of two evils.
