So Barack Obama, whose father is from Kenya and who attended school in Indonesia, now appears before a crowd of 200,000 cheering Germans in Berlin to proclaim himself a "citizen of the world." It makes you wonder whether he's running for president of America or secretary general of the United Nations, and it is reminiscent of Senator Kerry's ill-fated 2004 debate pledge to subject American policies to a "global test."
Not that these columns are against a judicious internationalism. Mr. Obama's turn toward the idea of global responsibility is actually a welcome note coming from someone who spent the primary campaign demagoguing Senator Clinton on the charge that free trade deals her husband signed were sucking American jobs from Ohio to Mexico and Canada. If you are really a "citizen of the world," why should it matter?

We'd settle for a president who is a citizen of America, thank you very much. Or at least one with the humility to recognize that the president is elected by Americans, not Germans.

It's amazing how far away Mr. Obama will travel to avoid Senator McCain's invitation to participate in a series of joint town hall meetings. As the Democratic primary season wore on, the more voters got to see of Mr. Obama the less they seemed to like him. Maybe Mr. Obama's campaign aides are hoping that if they can just keep him out of America for the rest of the campaign he might be able to eke out a victory in November.

No, I think P-Marlow doesn't want John McCain to be president. I think I am seeing "projection" here.
“...Couldnt a court force him to prove his citizenship?...”
Good question. Another one would be couldn’t an individual or group initiate a process to have a court force BHO to prove his citizenship? Fast track it before the Novemeber election.
I, too, support the Constitution on this point. If it’s proven that he is a NATURALIZED citizen and gets elected, that would set a Constitutional crisis and force BHO out of office. And no one could crawfish their way out of that. The Constitution is quite clear on this point.
You're right. There are a thousand candidates who would have been better. Unfortunately he is the one the stupid republicans picked to be their standard bearer. For an Old Soldier he has no fight in him. In reality he didn't even fight for the nomination. It fell into his lap because the conservative candidates all tripped over each other and destroyed themselves and the republicans allowed Independents to choose our Candidate.
McCain would be a billion times better then Hussein, but McCain does not appear to have the gumption to take Hussein to task on any issue.
I hope I'm wrong, but if McCain doesn't change his attitude, then we are going to have Hussein as president.
You need to get beyond your bitterness. I wanted Fred Thompson to win, he didn't, I move on.
The Lord Messiah Obama is campaigning for Emperor of the European Union — Hussein I. But why bother having an election? Im sure his euroweenie followers would annoint him in a minute — and give him a castle to live in!
A fluke? Care to tell us more?
“Between Hillary and Hussein, I would prefer Hillary by a mile. Make that a million miles”
Never thought I’d live to say that, but you’re dead-on right....

If McCain continues campaigning just as he has since he received the nomination, I am afraid that he will only win by default because Obama’s missteps have reached a critical mass. Several months ago McCain promised not to do any negative campaigning. He instead attacked Republicans who were simply stating the facts about Obama & Hillary. Meanwhile, his opposition made no such promise.
Remember how Bush Sr. ran an almost nonexistent campaign again Bill Clinton while Clinton was on the constant attack? I am beginning to experience severe deja vu.
McCain was not my candidate, but he is now. If he is not willing to fight, all I can say is God help us, because our candidate will not.
I hope you are right.
Waco was part of a pattern of the Clinton admonistration, IMHO
Yeah, there were a lot of incidents like that during his administration.
The only thing I would have changed in the stadium graphic is ALLAH FUBAR
Citizen of the World?
I did suspect it was the New World Order bankers that were bankrolling this guy. How else does a poor indonesian immigrant kid without a father get the money for Yale?
This guy is a well chosen sock puppet to lead the sheeple to the slaughter.
you are wrong.
“The only thing I would have changed in the stadium graphic is ALLAH FUBAR!”
That will be the appropriate saying if this rotten lying bastard wins in November.
Eighty some odd people burned alive ? Some fluke.
Perhaps you've forgotten Travelgate, where the FBI was used to clean out the travel office - of innocent employees - in handcuffs ?
Or the firing of every US attorney so hand picked sycophants could be installed to harass enemies and protect friends ?
Or the 900 FBI files in the hands of a bar bouncer ?
Or selling nuclear secrets to the communist chinese for campaign cash ?
Or declaring the nation's only low sulfur coal a national park so campaign supporters in Indonesia would have a monopoly?
Or Fort Marcy park ?
Fluke, my ass. The name Clinton is synonymous with incredible and blatant abuse of power, low-life criminal behavior and absolute disregard for the welfare of the country.
I can't believe you said that.
