Below is a response from a friend in a high-place. He's quite the Obama supporter and anti-Bush activist. I asked him recently (via email) what he thought about BHO (Barack Hussein Obama) touring the world while running for President in the US. Of course, I totally disagree with this international media stunt, and I think it will eventually wear out key voters who don't want an international savior - they want a President who will lower gas prices, fix the economy, and protect us from terrorism. Here's the open letter from my high-ranking friend:
"Well my friend I feel uncomfortable with my candidate’s speech and visits to GR, FR and UK. I understand and applaud his visit to the battle zones in our alleged war (but truly a neo-con misadventure into Iraq) and our war against the terrorists in Afghanistan. That makes sense.
It’s a little bit of a stretch for the Middle East visit. It appears more of a campaign stop for votes in New York and Florida.
But the speech in Berlin in my book comes across of as inappropriate. He can say all the wants: “America has one President at a time” or that “I’m just here as a private citizen.” But how many private citizens give a speech to 200,000 people?
There is no good reason for him to have gone to France, Germany or Great Britain. The Blue Collar workers of Ohio and the Mid-West are going to see this as arrogant and think to themselves: “Who does he think he is?”
I’m not at all confident that he will win this election. The final two legs of this trip were not a smart move. What American cares how many people turn out to see you in any country as a candidate? No me!
Respectfully Submitted"
Sorry to be a burden, but the referencing page says this is a podcast, (SUBSCRIBE TO MY PODCAST) but it is clearly a blog... Where exactly does the Podcast exist? I've done 15 minutes of hunting and turned up nothing. It's not linked anywhere from your site.
