    Great interview! I appreciate your reporting! The fact that the republicans are going on a narcissistic bent against Obama is laughable and shows how weak their candidate really is. His responses and thoughtful, intelligent answers to MidEast politics further bolsters his ability to synthesize and forge a new vision, not the same tired paradigm we have been existing in for decades. It is time for change with an intelligent leader

    To hollyRoller : L???âge est un handicap pour tout le monde ; nos facultés peuvent diminuer sans que nous nous en rendions compte et, bien entendu, notre entourage demeure silencieux : souvenez-vous du maréchal Pétain et de ce pauvre Churchill. Since you are multilingual I will not bother translating it.

      L'entourage d'obamamohammed n'est jamais silencieux. Ils sont des enfants, qui n'a pas d'idée de réalité. Leur sauveur est un escroc et une fraude.

    It is sad day for republicans and they know it. The only reason McCain is even this close to Barack right now is becuase of the color of McCain's skin! Other than that - as evidenced this past week in McCains fundamental lack of understanding of foreign policy as well as crying to the media about Barack, not to mention McCain does not have a message!! McCain does not have a plan!! All McCain has been doing over the past 3 months is attacking Barack! Where is his message and his plan?

    On the other hand, here you have a man who is moving forward every day to inform the American people about the change he will bring to Washington, in addition to laying out his policies on healthcare, on the economy, on foreign policy, on veteran and military issues, on women's rights, on energy...and yet some people are still stuck in the narrow mind set of what they see in front of them, they fail to really listen and hear what he is saying. The whole world is watching Barack, welccoming him and even voting for him to become the next President of the United States. There is something to be said about other countrys expressing enthusiam to work with the United States and bring us back in good standing with the world. You get things done by cooperation and trust. Other nation do not trust Bush and they don't trust McCain!! Obama handled his trip with tact and direct diplomacy with prime ministers, heads of state and presidents who all back Obama!! Wake up people. It's the media's job to keep this race close, when if you open your eyes and get out of the small minded way of thinking and realize we all need each other in order to live in a world of peace without terrorism, you would see that Barack is the one to do this!

    There is a lot of jealosy going on right now especially with John McCain and the republican party. All the attacks on Obama are so rooted in fear, it is causing John Mcain to follow Obama rather than lead. Obama is setting our foreign policy agenda right now. Just go back and read the articles over the past two weeks of what his policies call for and what is happening now! It's great to see Obama steadily marching forward with his message and policies - leaving McCain to follow him, attack him while failing to get out his own message about what he would do. He is so worried about what Obama is doing - McCain has forgotten what it is he should be doing. What kind of leader is that? Please don't vote for Bush=McCain!

    Obama '08 and '12!!!

              Unless you are in that very small group of the wealthiest Americans, your taxes will be more likely to go down under Obama than under McCain. And with regard to morals, please point to a single instance when a Democrat instigated or signed legislation that forced you to follow a moral, religious or philosophical path in your personal life that you didn't want to follow? Conservatives are the ones who want to force us to live as they see fit. I don't know which amazes me more; that a small group of right-wing zealots has stooped so low as to repeat outright lies as if they were truths, or that such a large group of Americans has swallowed those lies and taken to repeating them. If people like Lmhyrid cared enough about this country to actually check those "facts" that he/she (it?) spouts, our country wouldn't be in the mess it's in.

    Obama probably does not understand or know he is a Pretender and "Dark Evil Messiah". He and his media cronies do not challenge the notion or the name Messiah, Redeemer. Obama will be destroyed when he has been used up by the ones stronger than himself - the ones he is preparing the way for. He is not someone we should feel sorry for because he opened the door and sold himself and his family for less than 30 pieces of silver. Obama will soon begin descending and rotting in front of the world. I see him for what he is "The Great Dark Deceiver" one of many that will be followed by the most evil of them all.Some of you may laugh and scorn my words but I assure you this man will be humiliated by his own evil kind in front of the whole world to be replaced by "The One Without A Face" (he will be pitied and raised to great power as Obama is forgotten) who will be given a face more beautiful, and or handsome than all other actors, and pretenders. All of these Deceivers, Redeemers, Actors, and Pretenders will laug at writings such as mine but they will not deny their names in the media they own. Obama is a "Dark Messiah" but not T"he Dark Messiah" . Call him by name at concerts, call him by these name in front of masses of people and you will see he never looks directly at cameras or the people. Obama only looks side to side with his ching slightly tited up. He kinows if he faces the peope they will recognize him with raised arm with palm to the sky in salutes hailing his ascendance. He will soon have to look directly at us and his descending will begin and his humiliation will be long.My words may seem contrived ans suspicious but never-the-less all of this will come to pass virtually as I say.He will soon tell the world he is a "Nig*er" and proud of it - but don't you call him a "Nig*er" only family can call hi by this name affectionately.

    Anyone ever noticed how a lot of the people who claim to "love America" actually *hate* a huge number of Americans?

    The neoconservative posters on here spend a lot of time saying they "love America"...and imply that everyone else should as well...but what is America really? Isn't it made up of its citizens? How can you "love America" and yet spit hatred, bile, and insults at the people who make it up?

      i,ve got a question?all conservertives can talk about is louis farrakkhan ,william ayers,resko and jerimiah wright? is'nt there more important things in the world? how about genocide poverty, broken iraqi families,american children who would never again see their mothers and fathers?how about those mothers who gave birth to children who are now fatherless? i am a conservative and christian but i am so tired of listening to these conservatives. they come real close to being bigots. bob marley said this "how can you be sitting there ,telling me that you care,when every time i look around people suffering in every way. how can people be so narrow? how can you be a christian conservative and hate other people because they maybe a different colour, from a different country, different religion?

  • Posted By: bcrawf2033 @ 07/26/2008 9:58:24 PM

    I am very proud of Senator Obama. He represented America well and was warmly received by foreign leaders and people around the globe. I am disappointed that an a newspaper in Israel chose to publish his prayer inserted in the sacred wall. But his prayer of humility is the sign of a great leader, and he is seeking God's guidance to do what is just and right for people. Senator Obama has begun a healing process with other nations and opened lines of communication. We will need their assistance in the future as we face serious foes in Afghanistan and other danger zones. I think the overwhelming tasks that await him, should he become President of the United States are staring him in the face. Serious problems and ethical dilemmas both at home and abroad. Senator McCain's sharp criticism has the tone of jealousy and envy. I don't want to hear the mudslinging any more, when we have so many critical issues at stake in our nation. I want to hear how either of them will help people facing home foreclosure, healthcare, gas prices, energy dependence on oil, and the environment to name a few. How many times to people have to say we don't want the negative campaigning? Senator Obama and his family are decent people and we are fortunate to have someone with his intelligence and politcal savvy to lead our nation. Real leadership has been absent for the last 8 years. He made America look good last week, and we needed a more positive image abroad. The biggest enemy we have is ignorance and a lack of knowledge about each other. It causes us to be uncivil and mean-spirited. No matter what color a human being is, we all need to examine ourselves as to why we have negative feelings toward people who don't look us. It's time we matured as Americans. Obama 08.

    Your comments are appreicate as you have the right of freedom of speech, however I think you may feel more comfortable on the "national journal" website where John McCain's supporters have more sympathy for his confusion and fundamental lack of understanding on foreign policy over this past week.

      Her comments actually would not be protected by the First Amendment were anyone to take her to court, at least not the ones where she tries to lie and say Obama is a Muslim, or that all Muslims are terrorists, or etc.

      Slander and libel, among other forms of restricted expression such as sexual harassment or child pornography, have never had First Amendment protection.

    I feel sorry for all of the blacks who vote for obama for his race. after all his mom is a bitter woman who was dumped and abandoned by a black man and therefore he was raised by white folks in the rich white community. Also, everyone keeps blaming Bush for their problems. Democrats already run this country, anyone who knows anything about politics knows its congress, not the president who makes our lives what it is.....Congress runs our country, meaning democrats are already in control, and look at what we are going through....Enough said

    • Posted By: sedonakaren @ 07/26/2008 8:49:24 PM

      You must be young, so you should be forgiven for your ignorance about our government, Bush and his administration have pushed through everything they wanted for the first 6 years, with their rubber stamp congress and corruption of the Justice department. In addition, if the Supreme Court weren't biased in Bush's favor in 2000, Al Gore would be President. They have never in the history of our country chosen a president , nor has anyone ever been allowed to STOP COUNTING the votes!

      In 2006 the Democrats did win a bunch of seats, but held a majority of only one in the Senate, and that was "turn-coat Lieberman," who calls himself an Independent, but is backing the war and McCain.
      Two other Dem senators are out with serious illnesses, and one has been out for a long time, so Dems do not really have a majority.

      On top of that, Bush has vetoed many important bills pushed by Congress. Because a 2/3 majority of 67 votes is needed to override a veto, it is extremely difficult to get anything through that the president doesn't want. That's why this country has nearly been destroyed over these last few years. Got it? That's why we want CHANGE. GOT IT?

  • Posted By: Official Obamican @ 07/26/2008 9:24:02 PM

    Hollyroller and all other McCain sympathizers - you better hope your candidate can really start hammering home a message - a theme to run on- beside launching attack ads and constantly waiting for Barack to make a move, before they do or dare to say anything! The latest poll released from Gallup and Rassmussen indicate Barack has extended his lead nationally to become our next President. Obama now leads McCain 49% to 40%!! Better yet - go back and tell all of your people and McCains's campaign to continue the attacks on Obama, while Obama keeps talking to the American people about our concerns and continues to outline and lay out policies of an Obama Administration.

    McCain can't even remember how he traveled to Canada and London to speak abroad, but yet he wants to attack and critize Obama for going over to Iraq and Afghanistan to assess the current situation. Didn't McCain suggest that Obama do this anyway? (The memory loss for this man is spectacular!) Too bad no one showed up for McCain's speeches when he went.....but then again, becuase of the severely poor turnout and lack of interest in McCain's speech, McCain more than likely blacked it out or likelier still - just forgot!

  • Posted By: thehappyamerican @ 07/26/2008 7:29:00 PM

    Obama has not changed from the Americans Suck First campaign being waged by the DNC. For foreign leaders asking " should we trust this guy?' the answer is a clear NO! He's impudent and not square with US military professionals---leaders or the wounded.
    Of course this is consistent with his party's Americans Suck First campaign! Something European leaders will realize more NOW than before Obama went to Europe to be the Rockstar. What would make any European leader, or European, believe Obama is loyal to them!
    It was a novelty act in Europe,And it's over. Obama can think without a though! Things are going to get much tougher for the Americans Suck First campaign and it's proponents , both politicians and the news media! The Americans Suck First campaign attacks too many Americans for nothing! Americans are urked by discrimination campaigns and discrimination campaigns are what the Americans Suck First campaign is composed of!
    I will continue to visit wounded vets and help out. And how come the helpers and volenteers never seem to work in the news media?Hmmm! Very strange.

    I live in Europe and am very happy that Barack Obama chose to travel overseas to show this part of the world that we do have intelligent, articulate people to run for president. It would be so nice to see reactions to these stories not be so hateful. I thought the questions were good, as well as the answers. John McCain has visited foreign countries, as well, which is good. Why can't we support one guy without trying to destroy the other one?

    • Posted By: sedonakaren @ 07/26/2008 8:59:32 PM

      I hope you get a chance to read this. That's an excellent question, and I have often wondered the same thing. Especially I wonder why people have to LIE about someone, just because they aren't voting for him.
      I think what you are seeing is a lot of jealousy that Senator Obama has so excited this country, and the McCain people are often just voting against Obama....not FOR McCain. In addition, some of what you read might be attributable to racism.

  • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 07/26/2008 8:45:05 PM

    Excellent Berlin speech, superb performance in all the countries he visited - admit it! I think Obama is presidential material like we've never seen in several decades. Easily he is on a par with Reagan and Kennedy - I cannot WAIT for his election and I am hoping and praying he makes it to the White House with his charming family.

    Good luck Obama! The world is with you even if some of the laggards in the US still need to be convinced (despite their prejudices, their narrow-minded and self-righteous values, their lack of education about the world...) I feel sorry for my fellow compatriots that they can't all see how great an Administration we will have come this January if all goes well.

    • Posted By: bkghd @ 07/26/2008 8:55:53 PM

      The allusion to 1963 is not appropriate. Obama won't be stupid enough to pull a stunt like the Bay of Pigs, or get us deeper embroiled in a Vietnam. He will, however, finish the job in Afghanistan instead of just playing cat and mouse games there.

      • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 07/26/2008 8:58:14 PM

    Obama's world tour of 7 countries in five days was nothing more than a PHOTO-OP, and much like a college prank to return to school and tell his naive friends that he toured Europe! However, he REFUSED to go to see the American troops in Germany, because the government will not allow cameras and PHOTO-OPs with the wounded troops.

    Obama has spent more time campaigning to be President than working on behalf of his Chicago constiuency in the Senate. Hopefully, his poor poll numbers reflect the commonsense of the American electorate when considering this man is nothing more than a pathetic phony who has been built up and carried on the shoulders of the American media.

    Remember, the media did the same thing for Geo. Bush . . . he had no faults prior to his election. The media loved him too.

    • Posted By: akaroarim @ 07/26/2008 7:19:35 PM

      Incomplete remarks at best. Senator Obama's constituency is the entire State of Illinois, not just the Chicago metro. Senator McCain also has been on the campaign trail and has missed more Senate votes than Obama -- all you need to do is check public record at the Senate website. And you may want to catch up with the reports out of the Pentagon about Obama's schedule revisions relative to visiting the troops stationed in Germany. The Congressional portion of the trip, during which Obama was accompanied by Senate staff and fellow Senators ended in the Middle East. The European leg of the journey was funded by the Obama campaign and, as such, the *Pentagon* refused him access by stating his capacity as a candidate for office.

      • Posted By: sedonakaren @ 07/26/2008 8:54:24 PM

        Obama never uses the servicemen as a photo op. Because of this fact, you are probably unaware of all the trips he has already made to military hospitals on the QT. It's not about publicity.

        McCain, on the other hand, recently had a nasty exchange with a vet who had the "gall" to ask him why he hadn't supported the troops with some votes in the senate over the last few years. The inquiring vet had all the votes at his fingertips, while McCain tried to lie his way out of this one. He blustered how many "AWARDS" for supporting the troops he had from various organizations, but he didn't answer the question. When the vet repeated the question, McCain got very sarcastic and said something to the effect, "I guess YOU know more about my record than I do!" Nasty old man. Angry old man.

      I think his positives outweigh these little "negatives" for the powers that be here and around the world. They make the decisions too, and carry some weight to ensure that the right person gets to lead the country - do you think our founding Fathers would have had it any other way? You can see how dumb the electorate today still is... we come from a tradition of illiteracy, ex-prison bait and Puritan simpletons, so it's no wonder sense has to prevail somehow.

      I have failth that most Americans will see Obama as clearly the better of the two candidates, however. It's very encouraging to read all the blogs and see how many responses toward Obama are favorable!

      "Once he is the nominee?" Allow me to usher you out of your home underneath a rock...

      And no, he's not. McCain has just as many sketchy connections - Charles Keating, anyone?

      All politicians have some personal associations to people who *** up or went crazy. I think most people are not holding Wright against him - I know I'm not. Rev. Wright went *crazy* once he got a taste of national attention. I don't hold O accountable because one of his pastors lost his damn mind.

    It is sad day for republicans and they know it. The only reason McCain is even this close to Barack right now is becuase of the color of McCain's skin! Other than that - as evidenced this past week in McCains fundamental lack of understanding of foreign policy as well as crying to the media about Barack, not to mention McCain does not have a message!! McCain does not have a plan!! All McCain has been doing over the past 3 months is attacking Barack! Where is his message and his plan?

    On the other hand, here you have a man who is moving forward every day to inform the American people about the change he will bring to Washington, in addition to laying out his policies on healthcare, on the economy, on foreign policy, on veteran and military issues, on women's rights, on energy...and yet some people are still stuck in the narrow mind set of what they see in front of them, they fail to really listen and hear what he is saying. The whole world is watching Barack, welccoming him and even voting for him to become the next President of the United States. There is something to be said about other countrys expressing enthusiam to work with the United States and bring us back in good standing with the world. You get things done by cooperation and trust. Other nation do not trust Bush and they don't trust McCain!! Obama handled his trip with tact and direct diplomacy with prime ministers, heads of state and presidents who all back Obama!! Wake up people. It's the media's job to keep this race close, when if you open your eyes and get out of the small minded way of thinking and realize we all need each other in order to live in a world of peace without terrorism, you would see that Barack is the one to do this!

    There is a lot of jealosy going on right now especially with John McCain and the republican party. All the attacks on Obama are so rooted in fear, it is causing John Mcain to follow Obama rather than lead. Obama is setting our foreign policy agenda right now. Just go back and read the articles over the past two weeks of what his policies call for and what is happening now! It's great to see Obama steadily marching forward with his message and policies - leaving McCain to follow him, attack him while failing to get out his own message about what he would do. He is so worried about what Obama is doing - McCain has forgotten what it is he should be doing. What kind of leader is that? Please don't vote for Bush=McCain!

    Obama '08 and '12!!!
