If you’re elected - we’ll hold you to that.
I love Fred, but is he mis-speaking here? Does a U.S. president have the authority to bar a head of state from a member nation coming to the UN?
Let us expect a few campaign-fund pimps like Hsu hustling bucks from Iran to make sure that Hitlery gets in the White House. ImaNutJob wants an anti-America, anti-military leftist fool in the White House BAD !!!
Go Fred!
Fred must have been reading FR to come up with a statement like that.
Yah know, Fred, it ain't up to you. According to a treaty we signed when they planted the UN in New York we have to let him in. And according to the same treaty, the UN headquarters stays in New York unless they decide to move it. So if you really want to be president I suggest you brush up on the law a little bit before you make promises you can't keep.
So far I have the impression that you won’t have to worry about that.

:::::
Well we know he could bar one from coming to the U.N. IN THE USA -— simply by throwing the U.N. out of the USA totally. Oh, would I love to see that day.
A little behind the news/talk cycle, Senator - but the campaign is young.
I’m glad he’s in. Even the most politically indifferent will notice the GOP. Hopefully he’ll bring more folks to the process.
And he’s right about Nutjob.
Has my vote here in Georgia
YES!
He's the head of state, and regardless of the diplomatic issues of the UN, it IS on US soil and he does have to pass through US ports of entry to get to it.
The President damn well can, and the current one should.
And at the very least, he should make it clear in no uncertain terms, that Isanutjob is not welcome at the WTC.
And who cares what the UN thinks anyway.
It makes him sound/read tough and plays to the nitwits that don’t know the law.
Rudy should be making the same statement shortly.
Bottom line is get the UN out of the USA and let it’s second home in Geneva be it’s only home.
hey, give him a break......it’s not often that he gets a chance to be stern about an issue, let alone clear.....
Do we have the authority to invade Iraq?
Not to be argumentative. There may be a treaty, but he apparently needs to get permission to land or a visa or something because I always read that there is some paperwork required for the visit.
So he does not have supreme rights to come if he has to ask.
Therefore if you have to ask the answer is no.
If he flies in "direct".... I swear to Allah that he is personally on a suicide mission with a nuclear bomb on board.
The moment his plane lands, KA-BOOM!
Sue us!
