...Obama visits Afghanistan to tour war zone - USATODAY.com

WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama landed Saturday in Afghanistan, the second stop in a week-long foreign trip with both foreign policy and political implications.
Less than four months before the general election, Obama's first visit to Afghanistan, with a subsequent stop in Iraq, is part of an official congressional delegation. Yet, the trip comes as Obama has been outlining his foreign policy positions as the presumptive Democratic nominee, and Republican John McCain has been making Obama's relative lack of foreign policy experience a major campaign issue.

Part of an official Congressional Delegation. I guess that means we, the taxpayers are paying for this political junket.

He's out 'earning' the military's respect, after he confiscates their weapons.

You're a true genius. And by genius, I mean dumbass.

Who do you think pays for ANY official that goes over there...or anywhere, for that matter?

Why do you think Dubya's been so interested in overseas travel during his last year? It's because we're the dorks paying for his free vacations, and he needs to get his stupid face in the news and pretend he wasn't a total douchebag during the last 7 1/2 years.

Why do you think McCain and his butt-buddy Lieberman go overseas for their photo-ops? You think they're flying coach out of their well lined pockets???

Chill!

At least the Messiah isn't taking his entire family so his girls can claim "life experience" credits when they get to college!

Being called a dumbass by you is a badge of honor I will forever cherish.
