Obama's College Trip to Pakistan

One of the lesser reported revelations of Obama's San Francisco reverie is that he went on a college trip to Pakistan (during the period of the establishment of the Mujahideen "training camps" (against the Soviets at that time))...does anybody remember the The Buffalo Six?...the Lackawanna Six? It was their little "college trip" to Pakistan that got them arrested.

But I'm sure Obama's trip was completely innocent...that he exercised the same stellar judgement in picking out people there to meet and greet as he has here in picking out his role models (Jeremny Wright),political passage mentors (Bill Ayers) and land deal advisors (Antoin "Tony" Rezko).

"I knew what Sunni and Shia was [sic] before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee."

Ouch. He should be called Dumbama.

I seem to recall John McCain spending a little bit of time overseas.

Reminds me of Bill’s trip to Moscow during his college days, about which we still don’t know where he got the money for the trip. What’s suspicious to me, is that one cannot travel easily between Pakistan and India. How did Barack get from Karachi to Hyderabad?

[R. Scott]

Barack Hussein visited family in Indonesia and friends in Pakistan. I wonder who his friends were - Pakistan was flooded with close to 2 million Afghan refugees, Iran was in the depths of Mullah induced madness, Iraq was trying to build The Bomb, and the World was waking up to the start of the 3rd Muslim expansion.

having family that is impoverished in small villages in Africa

I wonder how much he's helped his relatives over there. I bet he hasn't given them even ten percent of what he's given that racist preacher.

I seem to recall John McCain spending a little bit of time overseas.

That was nothing. All he did was stay at a hotel for six years. It was even a Hilton.

[finnsheep]

No wonder he is so casual about saying he will invade Pakistan.

[DooDahhhh]

This Obama guy is full o crap!

[johnny7]

I wonder who his friends were...

[SumProVita]

Obama’s *foreign experience* is about as shallow as he is. He doesn’t even have enough experience to handle normal questioning as a candidate for the presidency. I am still amazed that such a person is even a serious candidate.

[Carolinamom]

3 weeks in Pakistan visiting relatives and he’s an expert on foreign policy? Hahahahahahah....still more exageration from a chronic braggart.

Obama’s College Trip to Pakistan...

b. HUSSEIN also spent time in a madrassah.....

this is the a-hole, the lib/dems want in the White House and to negotiate with the muzzie terrorists!!!

[ChocChipCookie]

"Foreign policy is the area where I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain," Obama said, according to the Huffington Post.

Is this some sort of joke? I'd expect to see a line like this in The Onion.

[arthurus]

Maybe he went for some extra training.

[shalom aleichem]

Right, Bill’s trip was to cold war ENEMY USSR while Pakistan has been a USA ally for many years, base in Peshawar etc.

How to get from Karachi to Hyderabad? Airplane?

[ricks_place]

The Obama foreign policy experience is in the Islamic World including personal visits to Indonesia, Pakistan, and Kenya. Obama carefully and lawyerly chooses his words when claiming Christian identity. Obama says he is Christian since joining the Rev. GDA Wright church but he must have been Muslim prior to embracing this UnChristian Liberation Theology. Obama is a demonstrated prevaricator and an excellent conman

[normy]

I seem to recall John McCain spending a little bit of time overseas.

Yeah but he was there as part of the US war machine, killing little children and cutting off the heads of farmers. McCain wasn't there to understand the peaceful peasants but to murder them just like America murdered the Japanese and the Africans and the Indians. McCain is the typical white American and is incapable of understanding because his racism and hatred is ingrained in him as it is in all white Americans. /sarc

What's funny is Obama and Democrats in general think the fact that Obama has family that are impoverished foreigners and he knew the difference between Shiites and Sunni as a child are positives for him. Dems truly do not understand their own country.

[DooDahhhh]

That is putting it mildly
