When Obama lives in a Filipino sweatshop for 30 days I will believe he will have a better understanding of the World, but as long as he goes on his Tourist trips he won’t learn anything, especially not at the Western Wall in Jerusalem.

I can go to the Bahamas too, it does not make me an expert on foreign relations.

“This was so obvious it didn’t even warrant a post.”

Theoretically true - but unfortunately it needs to be said wide and loud.

Excellent post, Tim.

I hope to see record low turnout for this election.

If you vote in this illusion-of-choice Coke-or-Pepsi? election, you are part of the problem.

Very well said. Whilst I am here, let me say this which mirrors what is said in this article. Does getting caught as a prisoner of war for so many years make a good credential for being a war-chief? especially when we know there was no library or outside contacts in such Asian gulags. Or should it make the prisoner more aware of those with similar calamity as in Gitmu?

Peace to all Creation.

Obama, The Democratic ‘War President’:

“It is distressing to see Obama succumb to the blitz of war propaganda over Afghanistan and adopt George Bush’s faux terminology of terrorism”.

I told a 5 year old to put his toys away. Ergo, I am qualified to be God-King, Shepherd of the People….I mean President.

Obama’s camp has indicated an unwillingness to prosecute anyone in the Bush-Cheney cabal for crimes. Should Obama become president, I hope Congressional Republicans immediately go on a witch hunt to find some trivial reason to impeach him.

I went hiking last week. Ergo, I am qualified to be Interior Secretary.

If Obama devoted as many hours surfing ANTIWAR.COM as he spent visiting foreign countries, he could, with not much exaggeration, claim expertise in understanding the threat to civilization of war and the importance of working for peace.

This was so obvious it didn’t even warrant a post. Neither Obama, nor his staff, nor his opponents believe that trips abroad boost foreign policy credentials. But all of them believe most Americans think it does, and they’re right.
