MCCAIN WRAPS UP OVERSEAS TRIP IN PARIS
MSNBC ^ | March 21, 2008 | Chuck Todd

Posted on 03/21/2008 1:08:03 PM PDT by calcowgirl

PARIS -- John McCain wrapped up his five-country swing to the Middle East and Europe by meeting with two familiar faces- one old and one new. In London this morning, former Prime Minister Tony Blair and McCain had breakfast together at the swanky Mandarin Oriental hotel. A quick photo-op for reporters before the official visit quickly became a reflection of McCain's recent travels. On the friendship with Britain, McCain said, "What I've learned from our trip is that our alliance and our relationship is still strong. There are areas such as climate change, transparency of international financial institutions, Israeli-Palestinian peace process and others that we need to work with more closely together."

Throughout the entire week, McCain has been careful to distinguish this trip as a Congressional fact-finding mission that he's leading as the ranking member of the Armed Services Committee. Nevertheless, questions on the election and McCain's candidacy have followed him and various world leaders at every country's stop. This morning Mr. Blair tried to deflect the question, but when asked if he was interested in the race, he said, "I think there's great interest in the election everywhere."

Across the Thames River, McCain stopped at the Elysee Palace to greet the new president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy. The senator regularly praises Sarkozy on the stump for his forward thinking on green technology and for his choice of vacationing in New Hampshire. He likes to tell the joke to audiences back in the US, "In case you haven't noticed, France elected a very pro-American president, which means if you live long enough, anything can happen!"

Carbon Credit trading is #1 on the list. Typical McCain.

But he has a habit of associating with money/buble scams, such as the S&L scandal.

Does anybody at MSNBC know their geography?

Maybe he went there to ink an agreement with the CFR, Knights Templar, and the Iluminati to agree to issue the Amero once he is President.

For pity's sake, you don't need facts to be a journalist.

I hate that he’ll be the next POTUS only slightly less than the other two choices we have.

McCain must seem very bland to Tony Blair after GWB’s friendship.
