Obama Overseas - The Most Egregious Examples of Fawning Press Coverage

The one term junior Senator from Illinois and former community organizer has landed in Afghanistan, the first stop on his unprecedented tour of Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe. It is a sad day when American politics has degenerated to the point where presidential candidates are holding public rallies in Europe. How might George Washington or John Adams react? Still worse is the fawning, supine, cult-of-personality American press that is traveling en mass with Obama.

As we all know, the press coverage will be embarrasingly laudatory - glowing to the point of glorification. So, we are inviting our readers and visitors from across the web to post the worst, most egregiously fawning examples of press Obamamania in the comments section of this article. There is no need to register, and you can post either a press snippet or a photo you’ve found. The above badly photo-shopped image of Obama striding across the globe is from ABC’s website. Please cite the new source for anything you post. Thanks, and enjoy the show.

I got it from this thread...

Obama Goes Traveling Around the World in 80 Days

[John123]

so he wont embarass Americans

That's going to be impossible! :)

[John123]

that doesn’t make him a foreign policy expert.

But he has a wonderful way of speaking to the masses... (is that racist?)

[ronnie raygun]

I wonder who they are supporting!
sick and disgusting!

[John123]

I can hardly wait to hear all the BS he spews about these places

Well the story of landing under sniper fire has already been used...

[Cementjungle]

well hey... Obambi spend a grand total of 3 hours in Afghanistan... do you think that is long enough to develop a coherent foreign policy?

He's the speediest man on earth. No wonder Michelle's so bitter.

[John123]

No wonder Michelle's so bitter

Almost 3 hours.

Barack ‘photo op’ Obama has wasted a lot of jet fuel and insulted every man and woman with boots on the ground. What a miserable son of a muslim.

[Old Professer]

It is 10 P.M., do you know where your presidential candidate is???

[weegee]

"I said I support the troops, I just don't support the missions."

[weegee]

LOL, or perhaps he could learn the language...so he wont embarass Americans

Sorry, he's already on record saying that we are failing in Afghanistan because all of our arabic translators are busy in Iraq.

[Texas4ever]

Its a mistake. When they see how young and small he appears...they will regret sending Junior on his camping trip away from MaMa Obama!!!!

JUNIOR GOES TO EUROPE!!!!(song from Beaver Cleaver should play)

I didn’t realize that 85% of our troops in Afghanistan were black........nice crowd shot, Barry. Apparently, his ‘volunteers’ didn’t get to come with him to make sure that there were no ugly people in the background.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Shouldn't that be "half a term"?

Hell not even that - more like 1/3 of a term.

He officially started in Jan 2005, and he declared for the presidency in Jan 2007. Two measly years out of a six-year term.

The three hours BHusseinO spent in Afghanistan was enough for him to join in prayers at the local Mosque. Or maybe since he is a celebrity he got to call the faithful to prayer.
