SPIEGEL: It is unusual for a US presidential candidate to travel to Europe in the middle of the campaign. Why is Barack Obama coming?
Susan Rice: Senator Obama believes it is critically important for the United States and Europe to cooperate far more effectively than we have in recent years. None of us can tackle the critical global challenges we face in isolation -- be it terrorism, proliferation, climate change, disease, poverty or energy security. Obama will want to discuss in Europe and Germany how we each view these challenges and how we can best address them together.
SPIEGEL: Critics say the trip is nothing but a PR stunt to strengthen his foreign-policy credentials and that he has only rarely been to Europe before.
Rice: Senator Obama has travelled to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South Asia many times before. He lived in Asia. He bows to nobody in his understanding of this world. This trip will be yet another opportunity for Senator Obama to exchange views with the leaders of countries whose partnership is critically important to US national security.

Susan Rice is an idiot. She would have been Kerry’s sec of state or natl security advisor and she will probably play that role in a Obama White House. I like our Dr. Rice better.
Especially COMMON SENSE!
Perhaps our German friends recall Goebbels’s BS
If we cooperated with Europe, we would open our borders to any Tom, Dick and terrorist in the world, rid ourselves of all nukes and personal weapons and in general turn the US into the same toilet that Europe has been descending into since we saved their worthless arses 63 years ago.
Bow now or bow later!
Of course not! He bows five times a day towards Mecca, as he listens to that most beautiful sound, the call to prayers...
No bows to a person - bows are for a god alone...
The Flim Flam Candidate and his assistant
He bows to Somebody, he just doesn’t say who It is.
Obama: just plain creepy.
Least of all, to God.
Obama does the canned speeches.......and
Susan Rice does the interviews with the press..
Which one will show up at the Town Hall Debates?????
(My money is on Rice)
Unlike obama, she doesn’t appear to fear confrontation..
whole = hole
Looks my education needs some spiffing up!
I think that "creepy" defines them very well. Nice poster.
That is EXACTLY what Aragorn said to Frodo.
Puh-lease, this guy is the Uber Dork. He barely has a clue about America.
Pride goeth before....
Susan, if I want to see what you’re doing, I’ll rent a porno.
except one - allah
