Not every reporter covering Barack Obama's world tour is entranced by the words and imagery of the Democratic candidate. On Thursday's "Good Morning America," political correspondent Jake Tapper jabbed at Obama's overconfidence, describing the senator's July 24 speech in Berlin as "one the Obama campaign is billing at almost presidential. Even though he is not the president."
Regarding the Obama plane, the ABC journalist also pointed out: "The American flag on the tail wing has been replaced by an enormous Obama O."

Pride goeth before the fall... (I hope)...
How long will his plain remain flagless. What a clueless clown.
That’s Tapper’s opinion. There are as many opinions as there are reporters.
He's a politician's politician.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
To me Obama came off on this tour as dancing in the end zone beofre the touchdown had been scored, and more importantly, as caring more about what foreigners think of him and his foreign policy than Americans.

Hey world, You can keep Obama! We don’t want him.
Tapper provided evidence to back his opinion. Do you think the evidence is strong or weak? Or do you prefer not to comment?
Until they can find a lapel pin large enough for the fuselage that can be seen from several thousand feet away.
How long will Jake Tapper be allowed to fly on Obama’s tour?
From Wiki: "Jumping the shark is a colloquialism used by U.S. TV critics and fans to denote the point in a TV or movie series at which the characters or plot veer into a ridiculous, out-of-the-ordinary storyline. Shows that have "jumped the shark" are typically deemed to have passed their peak, since they have undergone too many changes to retain their original appeal, and after this point critical fans often sense a noticeable decline in the show's quality."
"The term is an allusion to a scene in a 1977 episode of the TV series Happy Days when the popular character Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli literally jumps over a shark while water skiing. The scene was considered so preposterous that many believed it to be an attempt at reviving the declining ratings of the flagging show. Ironically, not only was Happy Days reflecting the superstardom of real-life shark-jumper Evel Knievel in the episode, but the series was wildly successful in 1977."

That's not an "OH" it's a big fat ZERO.
You just can’t slip nothin’ past these eagle-eyed reporters. /s
Actually it’s a hole - a black hole, leaking gas...
The international sign of the roundmouth.
The fact that even the Obamedia is seeing this hype-and-chains world tour as a big presumptuous cultic-mass-appeal stage production is a good sign.
It’s basically saying ... “hey, there’s a guy behind the curtain pulling all the buttons” ... oh and his name is David Axelrod.
