Barack’s Lousy European Vacation

By: Brian Faughnan (Diary)  |  July 31st, 2008 at 07:05 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

If the objective test of the value of Barack Obama’s recent European jaunt is whether or not it helped or hurt his chances of becoming president, it would seem the verdict is in. Intrade shows a steady slide since Barack left the U.S., for a total loss of about 8 percent in the value of a share of Obama as president:

Was it the refusal to acknowledge the success of the surge? the cancellation of visits to American troops? the ego on display? Take your pick. Undoubtedly all contributed to the slump in the polls.

    Germany he cannot bring himself to debate with McCain in Ft. Hood, TX….I am sure it is because they do not FAWN at the feet of the Messiah…you know our troops know BS when they see it because they need to for the sake of saving their lives in the war fronts…

    badly with his trip overseas is because we Americans do not take kindly to Old Europe telling us how to live when WE have saved their backsides twice….perhaps they should live as we do and perhaps they would be happier people and not so damn snotty…like their Messiah!

    If the stupid Obama learned nothing from Kerry’s campaign he should have at least learned that little fact….what was the headline after President Bush won? oh yeah, how could 59 million Americans be so stupid?….screw Europe and their haughtiness….oh and screw Obama to.
