    PART 1 - BARACK OBAMAs FRIEND: Rashid Khalidi (Palestinian Activist)

    Obamas relationship with Rashid Khalidi goes beyond conversation. Khalidis ties to Obama were first exposed by WND in February in a widely cited article.

    According to a professor at the University of Chicago who said he has known Obama for 12 years, the Democratic presidential hopeful befriended Khalidi when the two worked together at the University. The professor spoke on condition of anonymity. Khalidi lectured at the University of Chicago until 2003 while Obama taught law there from 1993 until his election to the Senate in 2004.

    Sources at the university told World Net Daily (WND) that Khalidi and Obama lived in nearby faculty residential zones and that the two families dined together a number of times. The sources said the Obamas even babysat the Khalidi children.

    Khalidi in 2000 held what was described as a successful Fundraiser for Obamas failed bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, a fact not denied by Khalidi, who spoke to WND in February.

    As WND reported, an ANTI-ISRAEL Arab group run by Khalidi's wife, Mona, received crucial funding from a Chicago nonprofit, the Woods Fund, for which Obama served as a board member with William Ayers (the notorious terrorist from infamous Weather Underground (VIDEO).
    .
    In 2001, the Woods Fund, which describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to Khalidis Arab American Action Network, or AAAN. The fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002.

    Speakers at AAAN dinners and events routinely have taken an ANTI-ISRAEL line.
    The group co-sponsored a Palestinian art exhibit, titled, The Subject of Palestine, that featured works related to what some Palestinians call the Nakba or catastrophe of Israels founding in 1948.

    When Khalidi departed the University of Chicago in 2003, Obama delivered an in-person testimonial at a farewell ceremony reminiscing about conversations over meals prepared by Mona Khalidi.

    According to a Los Angeles Times account, Obama said his talks with the Khalidis served as consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. It is for that reason that I am hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation ??? a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashids dinner table, but around THIS ENTIRE WORLD.

          Exact reaction I expected. No answer. No explanation. No experience. But alot of shady characters in Obamas background.

          But that is okay. Given the media is not vetting Obama I will continue to post other FRIENDS Obama keeps. It is a long list that when pooled together that shows a huge pattern of misjudgements that proves his has no morals, will do anything to become POTUS. Very sad.

    Yes, Cornholy is an ass. Yes, Cornholy is an imbecile. Yes, Cornholly is a mouth-breather. But at least Cornholy can log onto his PC, go to his favorites, click on Newsweek, click on a blog amd make a comment. McCain can do none of the above. Why does Cornholy like McCain? Because he makes even Cornholy look intellegent.

            The thing is Mr. Obama said it as a joke because he felt the US was so big and likened it to 57 states.
            Mr. McCain was serious.

      Obama USES A COMPUTER and has minimal amount of experience and minimal amt of accomplishments (especially any that he solely led in legislature arena). Plus: Can talk a good talk

      vs.

      McCain with lots of substance (experience/specific self led accomplishments in legislature under his belt) vs. doesnt use a computer (and instead, like most CEOs, rely on admin staff to handle computer tasks).

      Hard to answer. NOT. Definitely the wiser, older man who has their feet wet. I want a president that gets things done and something to show for it, not just puff talk about hope and change.

    Can do Kboogie, It takes a little work but not much. Real clear Politics, as you may already know, posts all of the polls published by rassmussen, Quinnipac and all of the rest. they have a map showing Red, leaning red, Blue, Leaning Blue and the up for grabs states. Add the Reds and give McCain all of the up for grabs and he gets 221. By the way McCain's count includes Florida. Add the Blues and Obama gets 317. I can't see McCain improving his count, especially with the Obama registration machine adding thousands of voters every day. Have you ever been impressed by any of these self proclaimed geniuses that support Mccain on the blogs. All they seem to offer is some sort of Obama's a muslim or nobama or barry or Hussien comment. This is the state of the G Old P. Reduced to using Limbaugh type attacks because they lack the ability to thimk for themselves. They've had their heads up ole rushbo's bottom so long their brains have expired due to lack of oxygen.

    • Posted By: AskPlus @ 07/23/2008 4:24:16 PM

      Your point is correct. It seems desperation breeds contempt. It's atrocious what some of these bloggers will say. The McCain supporters proper seem to be better informed and knowledgeable than the Clinton/McCain changelings, who are awful. They create the most "lies for the uninformed" and keep saying the same lie over and over again. They must not sleep nights with worry.

  • Posted By: Bass Pro @ 07/23/2008 3:00:27 PM

    You guys aren't going to believe this. A new commenter has arisen on one of todays blogs the penname is Holy Rollers. ole CornHoly is going to have the big one. And here's the best part, holy rollers is a Obama supporter.

    On another news front. Our old friend Robert Novak was cited for hitting a pedestrian He said he didn't realize he had hit someone until a bicyclist flagged him down. the Bicyclist who wttnessed the hit and run said he had seen the pedestrian laying across Novaks windshield. Maybe they can give Novak a plea deal if he gives up cheney and Rove as the outers of Valerie Plame.

    If the report, which is seen as a huge blow to John McCain's candidacy, is true -- and with Chalabi, skepticism is required -- it would symbolize a Shakespearean act of political betrayal. Few American figures have done more to advance Chalabi's cause and career than the presumptive Republican nominee and his closest advisers.

    As detailed in Aram Roston's book, "The Man Who Pushed America To War," the Arizona Republican was on Chalabi's International Committee for a Free Iraq way back in 1991. During the Clinton administration, McCain tried to pressure the president to set up an Iraqi government in exile and co-sponsored the Iraq Liberation Act, which called on the U.S. to overthrow Saddam Hussein and fund opposition groups. Around that time, as John Judis of The New Republic reported, McCain welcomed Chalabi to Washington and "pressured the administration to give him money. When General Anthony Zinni cast doubt upon the effectiveness of the Iraqi opposition, McCain rebuked him at a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee."

    When McCain made his first run for the White House, Chalabi called him his preferred candidate. Three years later McCain returned the favor, calling the Iraqi exile "a patriot who has the best interests of his country at heart."

    "His ties to McCain go back 18 years," Roston told the Huffington Post. "McCain has been supportive of his cause for so long, and signed on to it early, in 1991... I don't know if they are still in communication, but it is hard to imagine after this especially."

  • Posted By: Omaar @ 07/23/2008 12:00:01 PM

    McCain until he UnOfficially Backed Obama's TimeTable of Withdrawal, was Chalibi's Main Supporter....

    I Guess that has CHANGED since this latest Chalibi Revelation !!!!

    Funny you guys at liberal NEWSWEEK don't mention that Maliki (who you once trashed regularly and now LOVE because he is possibly supporting YOUR candidate) is getting advice from Chalabi and said his withdrawal is conditions based, not timed, like yours and Obama's.

    David Rockefeller: He Controls the CFR and David Rockefeller Controls the USA.

    On Katie Couric tonight McCain says:

    Kate Couric: Senator McCain, Senator Obama says, while the increased number of US troops contributed to increased security in Iraq, he also credits the Sunni awakening and the Shiite government going after militias. And says that there might have been improved security even without the surge.

    What's your response to that?

    McCain: I don't know how you respond to something that is as -- such a false depiction of what actually happened. Colonel McFarlane [phonetic] was contacted by one of the major Sunni sheiks.

    Because of the surge we were able to go out and protect that sheik and others. And it began the Anbar awakening. I mean, that's just a matter of history. Thanks to General Petraeus, our leadership, and the sacrifice of brave young Americans.

    I mean, to deny that their sacrifice didn't make possible the success of the surge in Iraq, I think, does a great disservice to young men and women who are serving and have sacrificed.

    One problem.

    The surge wasn't even announced until a FEW MONTHS AFTER the Anbar Awakening.

He is giving interviews on various media outlets, and promises to release damaging info...right before the DNC Convention. The obamamohammed machine still CAN'T SHUT HIM UP.

    This is a follow up to Holy Roller's post about Obama's birth certificate. It seems that a lot of Anti Obama websites are posting on this subject.

    Check out this website and take 4 mins to look at the You Tube. This person is explaining the differences in Obama's birth certificate on his Fight The Smears website and a birth certificate he says is authentic.

    View the video and come to your own conclusion. VERY INTERESTING----------

    Take the info for what you feel its worth!

      DB, forgive me for this but anyone who actually believes this new BS and wastes time posting about it, is not too bright. Go ahead give it back. I can take it.

      • Posted By: Debunked! @ 07/22/2008 2:17:54 PM

        The person explaining the differences was very clear and precise as to why he believes Obama's is not authentic. His points were very well explained. Now, perhaps Obama have a good reasons for the questionable items. I don't know.

        What I do know is that the inconsistencies with the birth certificate were very questionable and they deserve further investigation and I honestly believe that Obama SHOULD be required to explain the differences. However, I WILL give Obama some credit and say that I will give him the benefit of the doubt with this one. He is a very smart person and I would think that he would be too smart to put such a terrible phony birth certificate on his website.

        If you choose not to believe it, that is your right and everyone should take it for what they feel it is worth. However, I think the man presenting his case, made very valid points and I do NOT feel that this issue should be swept under the rug or ignored and actually, I would think Obama would want to address this issue to clear up any mis understandings or mis information. That was the point of the Fight the Smears website anyway.

        Lastly, You are the one who checked out the youtube and is now responding to me about it so in actuality, you are diminishing your own "not to bright" comment! So include yourself in the mix as well!

          Hi Debunked,

          Do you actually believe that Obama would have been voted into the U.S. Senate if it had not been verified that he is an American Citizen. I do not think that this is possible, I am sure that there have to be safe guards in place for the senate process.

          • Posted By: Debunked! @ 07/23/2008 9:15:52 AM

            I honestly don't know what to believe about Obama. I just received a you tube showing some very sinister things about Obama and very troubling things. I am choosing not to post the you tube because even though I am TOTALLY against his candidacy, my goal isn't to smear him but the more I hear about Obama, the more I become concerned. This man scares me!

          DB, you are mistaken about me checking this birth certificate nonsense on Youtube. I did not. I don't waste my time providing linksto nor looking up lies about Obama on Youtube. It must have been a Hillary or McCain supporter. Obama supporters don't waste their time looking up the sources of smears against him. DB, you knew that already.

          DB, I'm sorry about the bright remark. You know I was only trying to get you to see that this new smear about Obama birth certi. is a big fat lie. You are brighter than me and you can teach me a few things too.
          Youtube? What do you mean? I only go there to play music videos, that's all. You should check out Bryan Ferry, man this guy is one cool and talented dude. Check out Don't Stop the Dance (Live 1989-1999). It will get you dancing.

              Is that ALL you Obama supporters do! You can't win on substance so you go to the hate and racist crap and then the insults of course!! For the record, my birth certificate is LEGIT! And if I were Muslim, I WOULD PROUDLY admit it!!

              I know this may be hard to do but why don't you try to Defend your candidate on the issue of substance -------oh, I forgot-YOU CANT!! You have nothing of substance to say so you go with the subliminal insults and hatred rhetoric----how typical!

        Holy Roller DID NOT publish the information. Someone else did and actually, the you tube presentation seems to have a lot of validity to it! Holy Roller, the SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE ON THIS BLOG, have the right to express his views whether you agree with him or not!

          • Posted By: Debunked! @ 07/22/2008 2:33:51 PM

            Actually, I just see Obama for the FRAUD he is (and so does HR) and I think that you are too bright NOT to see it!

            I am ALWAYS jumped on when I say something about HR that isn't denouncing him but actually, I have no reason to denounce him.Again, I DO NOT agree with the content of some of his posts but we share the same underlying opinion and that is that Obama is NOT good for America.

            And I wouldn't be so quick to call this birth certificate issue a lie because right now, we simply don't know but I will re state, the man who presented his case made very valid points that I feel needs to be addressed.

    Quite frankly debunked. no one anywhere is taking Mc Cain as a serious candidate except that soon to be forgotten 23% of the G Old P. All predictions for the electoral vote has obama with 300 + and McCain with a little more than 200. You mouth-breathers have lost your party to someone you swift boated when he ran against Bush/Cheney and this year again. In South Carolina the Bush/Cheney group spread the word that McCain had fathered a black child. This year Huckaby's group said he ratted out his fellow POWs . Romney said he is out of touch with the economy, something McCain confirmed himself. Now you love this guy. Why? simple, he will continue to send our finest and bravest young women and men to die in Iraq. He is willing to sacrifice our troops to gain the support of out of touch losers like yourself so he can realize his own ambition to e president. How pathetic you and your party are.

    • Posted By: Debunked! @ 07/22/2008 2:55:20 PM

      I am NOT a republican. I was a democrat turned independent and the bottom line for me and MILLIONS of Americans even though MOST are afraid to admit it because they don't want to be called a racist is that
      is that we safer with McCain than Obama.
      I don't know who Obama is, I don't know where he stand and from what I can see, he haven't done much of anything except give speeches! There is absolutely no way I can support this man or the party who threw Clinton under the bus to SELECT him!

      Don't get it twisted, McCain IS NOT my first choice but if the choice is between him and Obama, he gets my vote. Now, if by some miracle Clinton gets the nomination--------- SHE'S got my vote and FULL support!

      • Posted By: Pia1981 @ 07/22/2008 11:24:11 PM

        DB, will you just listen to yourself here. Are you actually saying that most Americans are afraid of being called racists so this is why we are voting for Obama? Phew..... This is ridiculous, DB. Also, I notice all the exclamation marks you use in your comments. You are too excitable over this and that is not healthy. You are too intelligent to truly believe this nonsense you posted, so why are you doing this?

        • Posted By: Debunked! @ 07/23/2008 9:12:42 AM

          No, Pia. That is not what I am saying. What I think is that MOST people who are not supporting Obama are worried about saying so because generally, anyone who opposes Obama or does not speak "pro obama" language is often referred to as a racist or bigot! I can't count how many times I have been called a racist particularly by many bloggers on this site!

          Also, I think in the end, a great number of voters are going to vote for McCain OVER Obama because they feel more safe and comfortable with McCain than Obama however, most will not publicly say so again, because they don't want to be coined a racist. This is what I tihnk!

          Then there is this real factor that may kick in when a voter (e.g. Independent or Hillary supporter) gets into their private voting booth:

          Bradley effect (noun): the difference between the number of people who vote for a black candidate and those who say they will or would.

          Editorial Note: The first citation is a nonce usage that refers to Bill Bradley, Democratic senator from New Jersey, instead of to Tom Bradley, former Democratic mayor of Los Angeles.

      Sen. McCain the AMERICAN Hero will defeat, Hussein Obama, the maybe American, quite easily....IF Hussein gets the nomination. Hasn't happened, yet. Sen Clinton, is STILL lurking and waiting. Assuming he does, however, things don't look too good. The polls are a virtual tie. Hussein should have a commanding lead, but does not. Even Dukakis and Kerry did at this time, in their campaigns. Not a good sign for the obamamohammeds.

      The beloved MSM is ready to pounce. The realize they are losing credibility, with America. Here is proof. A warning shot across, the bow. The party is nearly over...I can't wait till he holds, his Hitler Style Rallies. They will go over really well...LOL.........read and weep. These comments are from YOUR base......

      In today???s National Review Campaign Spot, Jim Geraghty passes on an important exchange from the July 21, 2008, edition of CNN???s Anderson Cooper 360 between host Anderson Cooper and panelists David Gergen and Gloria Borger about presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), who is making a whirlwind tour through Eurasia.

      David Gergen said:

      I think it was the first ??? Barack Obama made the first mistake of his trip, in my judgment, in releasing a statement in which he said exactly what Maliki had said in those conversations. We have a long tradition in this country that we only have one president at a time. He???s the commander in chief and the negotiator in chief. I cannot remember a campaign which a rival seeking the presidency has been in a position negotiating a war that???s under way with another party outside the country. I think he leaves himself open to the charge tonight that he???s meddling, that this is not his role, that he can be the critic, but he???s not the negotiator. We have a president who does that. So, I think the underlying facts support him, but I think it would be a real mistake ??? and I think it was a mistake ??? to get into these conversations and let it be used politically.

      When Anderson Cooper asked Gloria Borger if she agreed with Gergen, she responded:

      You know, it???s very interesting, I do agree with David. And Candy [Crowley], in her earlier piece, talked about walking the fine line between being this candidate and being presumptuous. And I think that he may just have crossed that, because, you know, it is a tradition. You don???t talk about these private conversations. And it???s not up to Barack Obama right now to negotiate troop withdrawals. It???s up to Barack Obama to be on a fact-finding mission, which is indeed what he has said he was on.

      NOBAMA!!!

    Comment: A portion of this nation has clearly lost its mind. Obama does not know anything about foreign affairs. Nothing. Wake up America. Obama is a scam artist who has no business being where he is. Give us a black President, no problem, but NOT this man. Here is the reality: Obama had a "close, personal, 20 year relationship" with a bigot named Reverand Wright......who is close friends with one of America's BIGGEST racists, Louis "I hate Jews and White Devils" Farakhan. This is the conversation at the water coolers of the nation, folks. Most Jews and Hillary fans will NOT vote for Obama and the polls are showing it.
    The Obama Fever is wearing thin. Gallop now shows a 6 point lead. Remember, John Kerry had a 6 point lead over George Bush in 2004.....and he lost in November. Same with Dukakis and Bush 1 in 1988....a double digit lead in July. And he got smoked in November.
    This is the SAME nation that re-elected an unpopular President Bush during an unpopular war just 3 1/2 years ago. Translation? Watch it unfold and watch the accusations of racial bias when Obama loses. So predictable.- McCain will win in November.

  • Posted By: mj it @ 07/23/2008 2:08:32 AM

    Why do you think McCain wants to keep us in Iraq? Because the corporations making a killing there (Haliburton, KBR, Blackwater, Big Oil) depend on McCain to keep them and us in a war zone that had absolutely nothing to do with an attack on American soil.

    The Iraqis want us out - we want us out. McCain wants to stay as long as his buddies are making money. This war was about business and unless you profited off this war...you and the rest of us lost.

  • Posted By: Daddymix @ 07/21/2008 3:50:29 PM

    Why are you Republicans so mad at Obama? He didn't get you into a war where over 4000 of your children have been killed. He wasn't in business with the people who caused the mortgage breakdown. He didn't promise that no child would be left behind, and then leave every child behind. He isn't the reason Thousands have lost their jobs simply because the company can't afford to survive. And no matter what McCain says, he is not the reason gas prices are out of this world. Oh yeah, but the guy you people voted into office TWICE is an oil man, and so is his crony Cheney.

    You folks need to get over it. Or either stand up and tell the truth. You don't like Obama because he's Black!!
    Okay, I know your story. It's because he's never done anything. Think about it. Do you really want the same old bulls@!t?
    Obviously the experience you're so worried about didn't count for Bush. Just as long as it's not a Democrat.
    I didn't know so many ignorant people read Newsweek. Surprise, surprise.

    Then you all want to talk about Obama has no substance. Well he has integrity. Maybe that's why they ran this story. He sits down with the politicals in Iraq, and presto. They see troop withdrawl the same as Obama.
    Go figure. All the while McCain talks about being there 100 years. 20 million dollars a day for Iraq alone.
    Katrina victims no closer to getting their neighborhood back after three years. Thousands of home owners in forclosure. Need I go on?

    You can talk trash about Democrats if you want to, but history will show those of you that can actually read that the economy grows when Democrats are in office. And the poor get poorer when Republicans are in charge. Now you don't have to believe me on this one. JUST READ.

    PEACE!

    • Posted By: Debunked! @ 07/21/2008 4:14:53 PM

      PLEASEEEE don't bring race into this! It is so easy for many of Obama supporters to believe that many of us who oppose him do so because he is black. The race card is old! I oppose him because I simply think he is the least qualified candidate the Dems could have SELECTED! I oppose Obama because I think he isn't qualified to lead the boy scouts never the less the United States of America! I think he is absolutely CLUELESS with NO experience and lack of knowledge! It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the color of his skin! I could care LESS about that! Why MUST many Obama supporters inject the race card into this?

      Obama has integrity, are you serious?! The integrity argument was thrown off the bus when he threw his own white grandmother, the same grandmother who helped raised him, UNDER the bus for political convenience and then added insult to injury by calling her a "typical white person"!

      You talk about Katrina victims, well can we add self responsibility to the mix?! Where does that come into play. Since Katrina, thousands of Americans have endured tragedy and have been hit hard by mother nature, hell some towns were pretty much wiped out. These hundreds of thousands of victims have done their best to pick up the pieces and put their lives back together as best they can. You don't hear them crying! Why is it that after all this time, we are still hearing about Katrina victims yet we aren't even hearing about other victims who suffered at the hands of mother nature, MANY who have RECENTLY endured as much loss IF NOT MORE, than Katrina victims? SELF RESPONSIBILITY has to come into play at one point or another!

      History does NOT definitively show that there is economic growth with a Democratic Pres. True indeed, we had WONDERFUL years of prosperity during the Clinton administration however, it was the TOTAL OPPOSITE with the Carter adminstration or have you forgotten!! Perhaps you should take your own advice and JUST READ!

      • Posted By: RetiredMarine @ 07/21/2008 8:10:30 PM

        It is simply because he has no substance that his supporters have to play the race card. What else do they have? They can't do a reasonable debate on any policy or idea he may have, so they take the easy way out. The only thing they can do is say everyone else is prejudice in an attempt to hide their own prejudices. It is pretty much equivalent to saying "I am voting for him because he is Black" - no other reasons given.

        • Posted By: loriw @ 07/23/2008 1:59:32 AM

    FOR DITTO-HEAD IDIOTS THAT REPEAT THE CAMPAIGN LINE "THE SURGE HAS WORKED", ALLOW ME TO GIVE YOU AN ANALOGY OF HOW STUPID YOU SOUND

    Here is The Analogy:
    The Dallas Cowboys are loosing to an opponent by 45-points and it's the 4th-quarter. Although the team made nice plays, the head coach and team managers made bad calls leaving the players embarrassed to be losing 45 - 0

    Now star wide receiver makes a catch and scores with 0:28 seconds to go, but follows that up with a victory dance and trash talk in the end-zone as the score goes to 45 - 7. Next the managers claim victory. You and everyone know this is foolish and know the Cowboys need a lot more than a touch down to claim TRUE VICTORY.

    Ditto-heads, it is the same way when Molasses McSame claims the surge worked and won the Iraq war. Americans fought and died for WMDs that were never there, and fought terrorist that were never there until the Americans got there. We lost 4,100 precious soldiers; 30,000 maimed Americans, and 700,000 Iraqi's dead, with 8-million Iraqi's displaced. $700-billion taxpayer dollars also up in smoke.

    Now McSame claims the surge has won a war he hawkishly but naïvely voted for. This is "CYA" at its highest! I would not trust this guy with a troop of boy scouts. When McSame cannot tell the truth about what we Americans see in front of us, how can we possibly trust this cat when America's back is turned?

    GOD Bless America!
    GOD Bless Obama!

      Problem is that you only see what CNN, MSNBC, etc want you to see! You don't see true reporting, you see agenda driven media!. I can't tell you how mad many of us were after seeing reports that were so misleading from what was actually going on over there. Problem here in the states is that some people are so brain dead that they think that "If it was shown on the news, it must be true"... Well guess what, you type of people make National Enquirer very happy as you are probably prone to believe their crap!

      Your analogy is flawed. You base your information on misreported news to stake your claims.

        RetiredMarine,Any guess on how much $ the Obama campaign has dropped on Newsweek advertising? I think it has to be a conflict of interest when Obama ads accompany the many articles about him. Am I the only one that has noticed that the articles that are pro-Obama are plentiful? Articles criticizing McCain are plentiful. However there are almost no articles that feature McCain's accomplishments. Anyone seen any article that criticizes Obama?

    And here is the NY Times talking about the Anbar Awakening back in March 2007.

    The formation of the group in September shocked many Sunni Arabs. It was the most public stand anyone in Anbar had taken against Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, which was founded by the Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

    And here is Colin Kahl in Foreign Affairs:


    The Awakening began in Anbar Province more than a year BEFORE THE SURGE and took off in the summer and fall of 2006 in Ramadi and elsewhere, long before extra U.S. forces started flowing into Iraq in February and March of 2007. Throughout the war, enemy-of-my-enemy logic has driven Sunni decision-making.

    The Sunnis have seen three "occupiers" as threats: the United States, the Shiites (and their presumed Iranian patrons), and the foreigners and extremists in AQI. Crucial to the Awakening was the reordering of these threats.

    Obama Shuns Foreign Press
    Posted July 17, 2008 | 04:59 PM (EST)
    Jacob Heilbrunn


    SEN. BARACK OBAMA HAS MADE A BIG DEAL ABOUT OUTREACH TO THE REST OF THE WORLD. He is right. Americas reputation abroad is not in trouble; it is in tatters. But, as I am hearing from foreign correspondents, HE IS NOT PRACTICING WHAT HE PREACHES. Rather, Obama has apparently given NO INTERVIEWS TO FOREIGN REPORTERS. Furthermore, he is not taking anyone from the European press along his journey, which begins tomorrow. Not the BBC, not the Financial Times, not the Sueddeutsche Zeitung. YOU GET THE PICTURE.

    Many foreign news outlets havent even gotten a response to their request to accompany Obama. Instead, it appears Obamas plane will be filled solely with American reporters (cuz they dont ask the hard questions like the Foreign Press would ask, LOL).

    As Steve Clemons of the indispensable WASHINGTON NOTE observes today in OBAMAs BLIND SPOT, Obama is not even visiting the real capitol of Europe - Brussels - and his advisors do not seem to have a good handle on the continent. In addition, Obamas attention to European affairs in the Senate, where he belonged to the European subcommittee of the Foreign Relations Committee, was at best skimpy. Obama's shunning of the foreign press is cause for alarm.
