Obama knows nothing about foreign affairs or diplomacy. He's just like George Bush shooting from the hip and thinking he can sit down with rogue leaders without preconditions. Obama is a totally naive and inept politician.

KATPKAT777711:04AMMay 17th 2008

Well, said Michael, HE KNOWS NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Susan11:18AMMay 17th 2008

Obama is like a five year old who thinks he knows it all. As much as I dislike George Bush he makes Obama seem like an idiot! At least Bush knows more about foreign policy than Obama.

Obama is acting like he is the Democratic candidate. Doesn't he know the race is not over? He may well be in for a great awakening. He opens his mouth and puts his foot into it. This morning he was asked a guestion, and responded, "there are all kinds of people". What is that. We are all human beings...What kinds does he think are out there? Martians? Clones?

He was again finding himself having to tell "Sweety" he was sorry..."Not thinking" and there are all kinds of people. This certain showed his chauvinistic habits and ignorance toward woman.

Perhaps when he meets with the foreign dignataries he will call them sweety out of habit...Think? Does this not worry you supporters? He has made so many stupid comments or remarks. Perhaps some of Rev. Wrights mentoring has been too much of an influence. Open mouth, spout, and then think. Bad for America. Can't you see Saudi Arabia laughing him all the way out of their country?

Funny I saw Obama on CNN yesturday responding to the appeasement attacks. He was wearing a flag lapel pin, the one he claims he would not wear....an appeasement to his critics?

united12:14PMMay 17th 2008

Problem is that Bush couldn't even read his speech. Obama has no experience and he is openly arrogant. He is calling for a debate with Bush and McCain after he was afraid to openly debate Hillary.

McCain and Bush would never debate with Obama as that would validate him just as Obama speaking with terroists would validate them. But Obama has met with terroists all his life and has a cousin who is one. So maybe he understands how terroists think and would like to give them validation.

you have to talk to your enemies to resolve issues peacefully. Americans are not use to "diplomacy" as it has been absent for the last 7 long years!

I now have a new perspective on my life, based on looking at the results of this national pole. The most remote, naturalist paradise, timber logging dairy farming, hunter’s preservanist states in the union; think his Iran Policy is smart. My God the backwoods hick liberal democrats in those states most of who by the way have never left their state except to go to one of the other designated smart Osama ignorant liberal democrat backwoods hick states, are so out of touch with reality that they are adamant about their stupidity. Bush says be strong and stern turn up the heat economically and supply them with outs such as options on domestic grade uranium fuel, Hillary says she would obliterate them and Osama wants to have tea and crumpets with Iranian officials and Miss Marple. My dad moved to NC from WI a long time ago and he has been a Republican since I was a little boy. I think it was LBJ turned him. So I love you dad and thank God you grew up moved out moved on from WI or I might be one of "THEM

vlg2:37PMMay 17th 2008

What perspective?

vlg2:43PMMay 17th 2008

Does anyone remember the reporter that asked George W. about world leaders before he was elected, and he bombed the answers? Why doesn't the media do the same to Obama? Let's see what he knows about foreign policy and world leaders. It might be nice to know before he's "crowned" our leader.

Budo2:52PMMay 17th 2008

This guy is a narcissistic dolt made up by the media. HE KNOWS NOTHING abour LEADERSHIP, ECONOMICS and most certainly FOREIGN POLICY.

This is the same oaf that suggested he would go into Pakistan (invited or not) to capture enemies. Pakistan=NUCLEAR POWER.

This guy has no clue and people are still swayed by his cultish rhetoric.

People better wake up because as a DEM of 40 years(along with MANY OTHERS), I will NEVER vote for this media FRAUD!

the Washington Post:



Sen. Barack Obama pushed back Friday against President Bush's implicit criticism of his approach to foreign policy, condemning his administration for not capturing Osama bin Laden and blaming its Iraq war policy for strengthening and emboldening Iran.

An animated Obama, cheered on by a crowd gathered on the floor of a livestock arena, said he would be delighted if the presidential race turned into a conversation about which party is better suited to guide the nation's foreign policy.

"If George Bush and John McCain want to have a debate about protecting the United States of America, that is a debate that I'm happy to have anytime, anyplace, and that is a debate I will win because George Bush and John McCain have a lot to answer for," the Democratic front-runner said.

... With former senator Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) looking on and a John Deere tractor parked nearby, Obama launched into a blunt critique of Bush's foreign policy record. His list of grievances included a war fought on the premise of weapons of mass destruction that were never found, the failure to capture bin Laden and turning Iran into the "greatest beneficiary" of the Iraq war.

He said McCain will "need to answer" for a strengthened al-Qaeda leadership, Hamas's control of the Gaza Strip, and Iran's ability to fund Hezbollah and pose "the greatest threat to America and Israel and the Middle East in a generation."

"That's the Bush-McCain record on protecting this country," Obama said. "Those are the failed policies that John McCain wants to double down on."

Carol--

Barack Obama is just 17 elected delegates away from a majority -- and you can help get him there.

At the start of this race, there were 3253 elected delegates at stake in primaries and caucuses across the country. After winning 32 of 49 contests, Barack is within reach of an absolute majority.

We believe that the winner of the majority of elected, pledged delegates should and will be the Democratic nominee.

Important primaries are coming up this Tuesday in Oregon and Kentucky. With your help, Barack could win enough delegates to reach this crucial milestone on his way to securing the nomination.

We need to do absolutely everything we can to help put Barack over the top.

Right now, thousands of people in these states are thinking seriously about what they're looking for from our next president -- and one voice could sway their decision.
