Good Saturday morning. Senator Obama will call on British Prime Minister Gordon Brown next month during a European swing that includes stops in London, France and Germany, reports Toby Harnden of The (London) Daily Telegraph. Harnden forecasts “Obamamania”: “A recent Telegraph poll showed that Mr Obama is overwhelmingly preferred to Mr McCain in Britain and Europe. … But Democratic strategists are concerned that scenes of ‘Obamamania’ in Europe could damage the candidate back home.”

Not surprising that Obama is endorsed by terrorists and now Europeans.

Obamamania=Obamanation

As more and more come to realize who Obama is, and what he represents...cutting through the sham and the engineered media-rock star blitz, they will move away from him.

WHO IS THIS MAN?

WTH! Can anyone please explain why a "Candidate" feels the need to travel to Europe during an "American Presidential" election season???? The Marxist fool hasn't even been elected...yet!

How much do you want to bet that he calls this a Congressional junket and that the taxpayers have to pay for every cent of his trip?

europe always roots for the rat to win every election. This is because the european male is basically a coward and the cut and run party validates their cowardice. All the real men in europe have either died in wars or moved to America. Only the bottom feeding leftist girly men wearing clear nail polish and hoop earrings are left. And believe me they would surrender to a door to door salesman before they would stand and fight even to save their own lives, let alone their countries.

That wil be the first time Obama has used his Diplomatic passport to visit Europe, even though he chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Subcommittee on European Affairs. Read more here:

Obama's European problem

The senator may have traveled widely, but the critically important subcommittee on Europe has languished under his leadership.

By Joe Conason

Dec. 29, 2007 |


  Doubts about Barack Obama's presidential credentials have crystallized during the past two weeks over his stewardship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Subcommittee on European Affairs, which has convened no policy hearings since he took over as its chairman last January. That startling fact, first uncovered by Steve Clemons, who blogs on the Washington Note, prompted acid comment in Europe about the Illinois senator's failure to visit the continent since assuming the committee post, and even speculation that he had never traveled there except for a short stopover in London.
