More and more Americans are seeing this abject marxist for what he is.

Heading home from an overseas trip aimed at strengthening his foreign policy credentials, Sen. Barack Obama said Saturday he's not counting on an immediate political boost and thinks it's just as likely he'll experience a short-term dip in polls simply because he's been out of the country for nine days.
"The reason that I thought this trip was important was I am convinced that many of the issues that we face at home are not going to be solved as effectively unless we have strong partners abroad," Obama said, speaking outside 10 Downing Street after his private meeting with Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
He acknowledged, however, that Americans are mainly focused on issues like gas prices and home foreclosures.
On the Brown-Obama agenda Saturday: terrorism, troops for Iraq and Afghanistan, troubled financial markets, climate change and Mideast peace.
Britain, the United States' closest ally, was the Democratic candidate's final stop after an ambitious run through Afghanistan, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, the West Bank, Germany and France.
Throughout the trip, Obama was pummeled by his Republican presidential opponent, Sen. John McCain, who depicted him as lacking foreign policy experience as well as judgment. In his Saturday radio address, McCain accused Obama of taking "multiple positions on the surge in Iraq" and, in a mocking tone, said he wonders "how he can deny that the surge in Iraq has succeeded, while at the same time announcing that a surge is just what we need in Afghanistan."

“...in a mocking tone, said he [McCain] wonders “how he can deny that the surge in Iraq has succeeded, while at the same time announcing that a surge is just what we need in Afghanistan.”
Ooh, BURN!
I’m glad to see McCain’s taking the gloves off when dealing with Obama, at least on this issue.
so their internal polling shows the trip hurt instead
of helping ...
That's nonsense and he knows it. He wanted to look as presidential as possible, he brought over 20 or so advisors to tell him how to stand and what to say and who knows how many advance men to set things up. It was all a dog and pony show to make him look presidential.
Yes,...McCain is getting in some decent Licks.
I agree too. This egomaniac should never have been a candidate in the first place.
I can’t wait until his next tour and he sings the blues.. ;-)
Either that, or he’s playing the expectations game. I think he’s probably trying to depress expectations so that when the polls show a modest 5 point bump, he can say its a great bounce since they ‘expected’ a drop in the polls.
I agree with Tom too, IMHO, Obama is lying. But here is what Tom said:
Okay, now even the Democrats should admit something here. Obama says he expects to possibly have a “dip” in the polls because he’s been out of the country for nine days. He must think we are totally ignorant, or he is so arrogant he literally can’t see straight. He is fully aware that we here in America have just been inundated with minute by minute coverage in the largest media blitz for a candidate ever. Being out of the country has resulted in him being pushed into nearly every home more than if he’d been here and he knows it. His absence has given him many times more publicity than if he’d been here.
His comments clearly reveal either one of two things: One, he is simply lying to our faces. Nearly every step he’s taken and every word he’s said has been broadcast, or two, he is being revealed as every bit the incompetent and naive person that many are claiming him to be. If he doesn’t know what everybody else clearly knows, then he is even more inept than many are saying.

The Obama strategists are looking back at previous campaigns and are getting more than a little bit nervous. In late July of ‘84 Mondale was way ahead of Reagan. And in ‘04 Kerry was up big over Bush. To be in a near dead heat with McCain in mid-summer, especially after the Magical Mystery Tour is very bad news.
I hope he spent a “Boat Load” of campaign funds!
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr., the charismatic, messianic Magic Negro, sees “little benefit” for his trip?
Well, he should have thought of that BEFORE he went on his “victory lap”.
First you have to WIN the victory.
A niggling (adjective: petty; also : bothersome or persistent especially in a petty or tiresome way) little detail, to be sure, albeit an important one.
“Sen. Barack Obama said Saturday he’s not counting on an immediate political boost and thinks it’s just as likely he’ll experience a short-term dip in polls simply because he’s been out of the country for nine days.”
Yea right. Short term dip because he didn’t grace us with his presence for nine days.
Hey Obama, how about a dip because people are beginning to wise up to you just being full of sh*t?
Are we sure Barama is of Kenyan descent?
Coz he sure comes off as a “Noobian” L0L
There isn't any way Obama has a staff of advisors. All he can possibly have is eunuchs. Someone HAS to tell him the closer he gets to the election the more important it becomes for him to try to sounds at least moderately intellegent.
“in a mocking tone...”
“Obama was pummeled by his Republican presidential opponent,”
McCain speaks the truth about obama and it’s “an attack”, “a pummeling”, or McCain using a “mocking tone”.
The dip in the polls isn’t because he was out of the country and not campaigning, but because he was out of the country, and proving to the world his incompetence.
Barry O. may be recognizing that his poll numbers are slipping but it has less to do with the fact that he was out of the country than it has to do with some of the things he did while over there that are really disgusting.
First of all, the American voters are not just going to hold his feet to the fire for not visiting our troops. His numbers are going to continue the decline until he gets to the point where he can’t afford to go to rallies because every time he does, it will cost him poll numbers.
Then there’s that ridiculous beer and sausage rock and roll party he threw under the Nazi victory pole.
Yeah, he’s going to continue to lose poll numbers.
Good. ‘Bout time.
His polls have been dropping, and he's trying to make it appear as if it is merely something to be taken in stride and not a cause for concern.
Right, Hussein.
Yep. The latest polls show McCain has picked up a lead in CO, and closed the gap in MI and other battleground states. Nationawide Barry’s lead has increased slightly, but that’s due to bigger leads in places like CA where he is way ahead anyway.
And he has to pay for the gig at Broncos Stadium
What with Obamma Lamma Ding Dong attracting 200,000 for an event (though it did have other attractions),and McLame attracting One newsperson when he arrives for some stupid function. I just don’t think Ding Dong is too worried about what gloves McLame is attired in at this juncture.
And ultimately I’ll reluctantly vote McLame.
I think you’re right, and the fact is the polls showed a 5 point gain yesterday, and another point gain today for Obama.
MSM Mostly Ignores Surge of Anti-Obama PUMA Democrat Activity
More and more Americans are seeing this abject marxist for what he is.
Thanks for adding that collage....
The Europeans cannot even solve their own problems.
This jackass, Obama, is an embarrassment to the United States.
Very good gif, PotLatch!! ;-)
Thank you much yorkie!

LOL!
I made a bunch of variations of that one!
I can only imagine, lol. He could even be a juggler....!
Because your the lost little sheep who worship you as messiah get so scattered and aimless when you aren't right there to guide them?
What a jackass.
Oh shoot Obama you wasted our tax dollars .. on your farce of a trip, and got nothing out of it. All that secret service detail Americans had to pay for on your overseas trip, all the whle snubbing our troops.
If Obama doesn’t carry Colorado say hello to President McCain.
Oh yeah; let’s try and lower expectations B. Hussein.
.
I’m thinking of the halo effect
I may have some that would work, I’ll look around.
