Clinton to skip Obama’s Moscow visit next week

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who broke her right elbow two weeks ago, will not accompany President Barack Obama to Moscow next week, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.

“Secretary Clinton is not going to go to Moscow,” the official told reporters, saying Clinton would name a State Department official to replace her on the Monday-to-Wednesday trip.

The official declined to explain why she would not travel and it was not immediately clear whether it was because of her injury. Clinton tripped and fell in the State Department on June 17 and had surgery two days later on her right elbow.

The official, who spoke on condition he not be identified, said Clinton planned to travel to Asia later in the month, when she is expected to visit India and possibly Thailand.

Arms control is likely to top the agenda in Moscow and diplomats believe Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev would agree on the outline of a deal to reduce the stocks of deployed nuclear warheads to below 1,700 on each side.

On Monday, Clinton held a news conference with her arm in a sling and said that the injury was still painful. “I’m engaged in a different form of arms control,” she joked.

ANSWER: Because in Russia, President Obama will not have to pledge to the Flag of the United States of America.

---

I - - Me; an individual; a committee of one.

Pledge - - Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.

Allegiance - - My love and my devotion.

To the Flag - - Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job.

United - - That means that we have all come together.

States - - Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that is love for country.

And to the Republic - - Republic--a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.

For which it stands One Nation - - One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God.

Indivisible - - Incapable of being divided.

With Liberty - - Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.

And Justice - - The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others.

For All - - For All--which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine.

And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands; one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country,
and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: Under God.
Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools, too?

It is as though he is giving a proverbial middle finger to this country.

[Dallas59]

Any more proof needed?

[altoinprogress]

um, it’s Michelle O in Moscow today. BHO is doing a photo op with troops (25) at the White House.

[hinckley buzzard]

Why is Obama in Moscow on the first Independence Day of his election?

Because to him it's just another day. After all, it isn't as if he was an American or something.

[ncfool]

Why is both the President and Vice-President away from the US together?

Your right about Obama being the Manchurian President He is in Russia getting orders.

The United Socialist States of American USSA

[Deo volente]

Well, he might be in Moscow, but there’s apparently another President Obama at the White House today welcoming troops from Ft. Campbell and their families.

Confusing information here. Seems Zero is at home today (or at least part of it), but none of us would be surprised if he did leave the USA on this auspicious day.

This story http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090704/D997K7BO0.html

says “this weekend”, but it may be they’re leaving after the WH with troops. And what did those troops do to get punished with this assignment?

I can’t imagine Chubacka going it alone in Russia, but maybe Barry has sent her ahead to taste the food.

And BTW, IF you read the MyWay article, bring a barf bag.

[mark3681]

Why is Obama in Moscow instead of visiting our troops on his first Independence Day as pres ent?

Maybe he feels safer over there?

[mark3681]

Why is (Mrs.) Obama in Moscow instead of visiting our troops on her first Independence Day as 1st Lady?

Maybe (s)he feels safer over there?

(correction made. I think the second sentence still holds true for either though.)

[silverleaf]

obama is likely to ink the first phase of our surrender to Russia on nuclear arms and give up our missile defense shield research in exchange for Russian “cooperation” in Iran...

as if

Maybe Hillary is smart enough to NOT want to push this particular reset button

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

That IS interesting. O’Bama always does a 180 from what he SHOULD be doing.

[Vendome]

Wait a minute! This asshole is in Moscow on Independence Day?

If he is all I can say is: WTF!?

[Pearls Before Swine]

Why is Obama in Moscow on the first Independence Day of his election?

Because July 4th is meaningless to him. Just another day.
