Voters “skeptical” of Obama’s World Tour

Did Barack Obama’s tour of Asia and Europe impress voters? By and large, no, according to a Fox Opinion Dynamics poll. A large plurality, almost a majority, saw it exclusively as a campaign event and almost three-quarters believe that it was at least in part a campaign event. Only 19% thought it was exclusively a fact-finding tour in polling completed the day before Obama took the stage in Berlin.

Message to the media: Next time, don’t make it so obvious.

Anyone who doesnt think the tour was a campaign event is an idiot.

Was it a good move?? Thats the question. Did he learn anything? another good question.

I doubt it changed any minds on the election.

Obama said the information he gathered just affirmed the beliefs he held before he went.

The only thing accomplished by the tour was the exposing of the fawning media that folks back home got to see up close and personal.

If one is an empty suit, then you do stunts like this to distract from the fact you will be a clone of Bush come next year.

I have no idea what that means, but McCain isn't a Bush clone and neither bush nor McCain are consertives.

Who paid for Obammy's trip? Was this on the taxpayer's dime?

So the numbers are down from two weeks ago? Strange impression.

BTW: are those likely American or European voters?

too early to take any real stock in what the polls say.
both should be going up and down by the hour right now. A drop in obammy's numbers right now prove nothing to either party.

What information can you gather when you are accepting accolades. (having your ass kissed).
