Obama Overseas - The Most Egregious Examples of Fawning Press Coverage
GOPublius.com ^ | July 19, 2008 | GOPublius

Posted on 07/19/2008 11:16:25 AM PDT by americanophile

The one term junior Senator from Illinois and former community organizer has landed in Afghanistan, the first stop on his unprecedented tour of Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe. It is a sad day when American politics has degenerated to the point where presidential candidates are holding public rallies in Europe. How might George Washington or John Adams react? Still worse is the fawning, supine, cult-of-personality American press that is traveling en mass with Obama.

As we all know, the press coverage will be embarrasingly laudatory - glowing to the point of glorification. So, we are inviting our readers and visitors from across the web to post the worst, most egregiously fawning examples of press Obamamania in the comments section of this article. There is no need to register, and you can post either a press snippet or a photo you’ve found. The above badly photo-shopped image of Obama striding across the globe is from ABC’s website. Please cite the new source for anything you post. Thanks, and enjoy the show.

Hussein is such a joke! All the aggrandizement of him by the MSM only serves to point out his massive failings in foreign policy.

Three hours in Afghanistan, and now he is an expert!

Just because a man is in Afghanistan for three hours...that doesn’t make him a foreign policy expert.

Just because you are standing in a garage doesn’t make you a car.

"Obambi spend a grand total of 3 hours in Afghanistan."

I guess Obama is surveying the development and progress of public washrooms in those countries, because that's barely enough time to take a dump.

I can hardly wait to hear all the BS he spews about these places, when all he has time for is to shake a few hands and pose for pics sitting on a tank with a few carefully placed soldiers.

This is nothing but free political campaigning paid for by our corrupt and biased media. Sickening.

This big eared creep and all the media who are anally inserted make me want to puke. To spew chunks of the nasty burrito I had last night. If Obammy reached for his wallet, several of the news toadies would receive broken noses.

Sickening at best.

Did he really only spend 3 hours there? Is that confirmed?

Almost 3 hours.

Barack ‘photo op’ Obama has wasted a lot of jet fuel and insulted every man and woman with boots on the ground. What a miserable son of a muslim.

I didn’t realize that 85% of our troops in Afghanistan were black........nice crowd shot, Barry. Apparently, his ‘volunteers’ didn’t get to come with him to make sure that there were no ugly people in the background.

Hell not even that - more like 1/3 of a term.

He officially started in Jan 2005, and he declared for the presidency in Jan 2007. Two measly years out of a six-year term.

The three hours BHusseinO spent in Afghanistan was enough for him to join in prayers at the local Mosque. Or maybe since he is a celebrity he got to call the faithful to prayer.
