Barack Obama’s Victory (Surrender) Tour in the Middle East Continues

July 22, 2008

 Barack Obama continues to meet with middle eastern leaders to confirm his plan to surrender the war and declare ( with his actions, not words) surrender to the extremists and this is met with great fanfare by the media in this country.

 Barack Obama, who is not yet president, is talking with world leaders about his plans once he assumes the office of the president. Because he is not president he has no business talking foreign policy with the leaders of foreign countries that directly differs with the current policy of the United States. He is negotiating future foreign policy for his administration for after he become president.

 But that is not what this post is about. This post is about the media coverage of Barack Obama’s victory/surrender tour. While Barack Obama continues to promise to surrender once he becomes president the media is basically portraying this as Barack Obama’s victory tour. This is being treated as a coronation, as if he has already won the presidency.

 It is not surprising that the media are in such a frenzy about Obama’s middle east tour, especially when you consider their campaign contributions to Democrats, they are giving it far more coverage than any of McCain’s eight trips to the middle east or even (still current) President Bush’s trips overseas.

 Why is this? The answer is obvious, they desperately want Obama to look presidential while overseas because they know that he has no foreign policy experience. They must make him look like he knows what he is talking about, so the feeding frenzy is on. There is no other reason that an Obama trip to the middle east should garner so much more media time than when the current president visits, but yet the coverage is far more extensive.

 The media is showcasing Obama to the world and more importantly to the voters of America to show them that he is indeed presidential material. The media has forgone the elections and proclaimed Barack Obama as the next president, that’s how bad they want this. The election is just a forgone conclusion, especially if the media continues to shape the election the way they have so far. The Democrat primary was supposed to be Hillary’s coronation, that didn’t work out so now the media is hoping that the general election is Obama’s coronation, and they are doing everything in their power to assure that it is.

 Barack Obama is being treated as if he is already the president so in all future posts I will refer to Barack Obama as President Obama. I will do this for two reasons; one, because the media is already treating him as if he has won and two, because I believe that his presidency is inevitable. I might as well get used to calling him President Obama now, it will help to soften the blow.

President Obama, President Obama, President Obama, it isn’t helping so far, but I still have time to get used to it. I have always believed that the position of president should be held in the highest regard and should be shown the utmost respect whether or not you agree with the man who holds the office. Once Obama (sorry, President Obama) is sworn in, I hope that I will be able to show President Obama the same level of respect that the left has shown President Bush ( I hope the sarcasm is read in that statement).

 The media have already made their choice and in November the voters will make their’s, until then the media will do everything that they can to assure that both results are one in the same.

    Funny, weren’t the republicans ridiculing him for not visiting Afghanistan and Iraq? Now they ridicule him for visiting…

    President Obama? I think you’re being a bit pessimistic. There is a lot that can happen between now and November… we have not had any debates yet. Personally, I don’t think that Obama is going to be able to get the support of the Hillary supporters in spite of the fact the two platforms and voting records were nearly identical (was someone copying from the other?). Also, I think McCain is starting to do a good job of distancing himself from Bush and making himself look like a moderate.

    The hoopla over Obama’s trip seems to be more like the hoopla one would make when a baby makes its first steps. However, I don’t think McCain’s sniping remarks are helping him.

    After 8 years of Bush spitting in its eye, the world is ready for a diplomat. Diparage Obama’s tour as “politics” all you want, but give him credit for seeing the situation in Iraq firsthand and laying the groundwork for a responsible withdrawal. Thankfully Europe and the Middle East recognize Obama as a credible leader — especially compared to Johnny Warhawk who joked that sending cigarettes to Iraq would be “one way of killing ’em”. Barack the vote 08!!!

    I am a 23 yr old… veteran/casualty (90%disability) of the Iraq war. I was a 19 yr old marine grunt when I arrived in Iraq, Husaybah. I was 20 when an IED blew me and my best friend up… he didnt survive. I now attend college at UNCAsheville. I am not well read, out spoken or even living a respectable life since my Corp. days ended.

    I am , however, excited about this upcoming election! I think it is amazing what obama has done with his campaign (as a senator) for the presidency. he has created an image… a wonderful one in my opinion! a new! its ok to learn! Lincoln, Kennedy did… and, sure, i do fit the demographic for obama voters (just gotta remember to get my hungover body out of bed to vote!) but the eyes of the world are watching, and its great!
