Obama takes campaign trail overseas

CNN) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is in Afghanistan on a multistop overseas trip for meetings with international leaders but with an eye on the U.S. presidential race back home.

Obama’s trip, which includes visits to Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and the United Kingdom, is intended to bolster his foreign policy credentials before U.S. voters.

(snip)

Obama is expected to meet Israel’s top leaders: President Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni and Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu; and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salaam Fayad.

Obama can expect a friendly reception in Europe, where he will meet Thursday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Obama to Iran: “ Will you hurry up and finish the bomb? I’m looking like a fool stalling this agreement!! “

[Pollster1]

I would have guessed that Obama would not meet Netanyahu because our Dear Leader despises Jews in general and strong Jews in particular. I must be wrong though; the White House said otherwise. The snub is just politics.

[Timber Rattler]

They actually expect people to believe this outright lie?

Bibi was heard saying ...”who needs him?”

Anything Boehner does to poke the Zero in the eye is fine by me. A new tactic was in order.

[Sacajaweau]

Obama doesn't make sense since he will be appearing at the AIPAC at the same time.

McDonough said at a Politico lunch that the White House would "make sure we're focused on addressing this from the facts

Facts like -

- Iran is a repressive, terrorist state;

- Iran is an enemy of the United States, and has repeatedly attacked it directly and thru terrorist proxies;

- Iran has repeatedly threatened neighboring countries, and even caused violence in some (e.g. Lebanon, Iraq);

- Iran has repeatedly lied, and has no credibility.

Will the Obama-Jarrett-Iran Cabal be talking about THESE facts??

"As a matter of long-standing practice and principle, we do not see heads of state or candidates in close proximity to their elections, so as to avoid the appearance of influencing a democratic election in a foreign country," National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan said in a statement.

But the Dims can send James Carville over THERE to try and unseat Bibi in 1999.

"Long standing practice" , suuurrree.

Yeah, well we all know what a stickler the pResident is for avoiding even the appearance of impropriety ... but you know the temptation remains on Hussein’s part to schedule him, but then keep the leader of an important ally waiting, then apologize, re-schedule and have him escorted out the service entrance past the dumpsters and Hefty bags.

But Obama did meet with:

having damage, insult, and (like this) downright Embarrassment
inflicted on us
by
The One.

every blessed day he does something(s) to weaken America or our economy (destroying more and more jobs)....or he subverts our liberty...

every blessed day.

Obama Admin and Bad Decisions go hand in hand . They learned nothing from the Paris screw up

[AFreeBird]

So barry’s working on his comedy routine for when he gets out of office.

He’s a real cut up.

[HomerBohn]

Who would want to meet with this parasitic, boring socialist Muslim?

TRANSLATION: MOMMY'S HEAD EXPLODED!!

[servo1969]

Good.
Obama hates Israel and everything it stands for.
Bibi might actually enjoy his trip to America.
He doesn’t have to meet with our skinny-fop man/boy President this time.
