To counter opponents accusations that he lacks experience in foreign policy, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois often cites his ties to relatives in poor villages in Kenya and the years he spent growing up in Indonesia. Now he has added a new personal detail to that résumé: a trip to Pakistan while a college student.

yep...stinks. I guess since I didn't feel the earth move last night that his speech wasn't the Obasum it was supposed to be, so this really hasta hurt.
OT.. Was it just me or did the crowd cheers last night sound canned??
He makes the case FOR Sarah Palin, who has real life executive experience as a mayor and a state governor while Obama and Biden added together have ZERO executive experience.
Mayor of a small town might not rank as high as CEO of a multinational but it is 100% more executive experience than Obama plus Biden have.
The only thing thing either of them has ever run is their own mouths and these are their accomplishments:
Obama spends his time running down America in his sly, snarky way
Biden has built his career running down good Americans in partisan Senate witch hunts.
Neither of them is worthy to pick up Governor Palin's spent brass at the rifle range.
But he's never told us which one he is.
I’m an expert on Mexico. I’ve been to Tijuana.......TWICE!......
That would also qualify me to be a veterinarian.....
Last night, during his videography, they didn’t even mention that fact that he’s lived in Indonesia. They don’t really want people to know that, yet now he wants to use it as a positive?
The ‘Rat tools are out in force today!

I tell you friends we don't have to love Obama, he loves himself so much.
Can you believe his resume and can you believe the democrats allowing him to run for president?
I like wine from World Markets
I have been to Mexico, United Kingdom, France, Spain, Germany, and Saudi Arabia.
Can I be President?
Somebody please, PLEASE end this fool’s race for the President. He is a fake!
By these standards, Samantha Brown has far more foreign policy experience than Obama.
and Ghana!
I smell something that needs a fork stuck in it!
Alaska is the only state that borders on not one but TWO foreign countries: Russia and Canada. I imagine Gov. Palin has experience negotiating with officials from at least one of these countries, maybe both. Anybody know?
Did he specify which terrorist training camp he attended in Pakistan ?
Did he use his Indonesian passport?
O’Bama’s “real life” experience is purely at the social level, a domestic concern. Point out that Palin has far more relevant domestic experience. Always compare Palin with Hussein. Ignore whatsisname, the Democrat nr.2.
