London, July 26 (Xinhua) The US needs the help of overseas partners to solve its domestic problems, US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said here Saturday. “The reason that I thought this trip was important as I am convinced that many issues we face at home are not going to be solved as effectively unless we have strong partners abroad,” he told a news conference.
Commenting on his meeting with British Prime Minister Gorden Brown, Obama said, “We share the same language and the same belief and Britain and the US have gone through the world wars together and share same views on the world order.”
Obama also discussed climate change, international terrorism and the Middle East situation with Brown on the last leg of his “world tour”.
Earlier, he also met with former prime minister Tony Blair.
The aim of his tour is believed to respond to the criticism that he is “naive and innocent” in foreign policy.
Sounds to me as though BO is planning to bring FOREIGN troops here to deal with the less submissive, more obstinate among us.
That should be fun.
Some time in the early 80s, I attended a speech by the late Arkady Shevchenko, then the highest ranking Soviet official to defect to the West. He had been their top guy at the UN.
He spoke, interestingly, at KENNESAW COLLEGE — and we all know what Kennesaw is famous for! I’m proud to have played a a small role in helping Mayor Darvin Purdy get that legislation through the Kennesaw City Council.
His talk dealt with the clear intent of the leadership of the old Soviet Union to somehow take America. He mentioned their ICBMs and the nuclear blackmail threat they posed.
Then he broke from his prepared remarks and offered the audience this wisdom:
“The leaders of my country are as AFRAID OF YOUR 200 MILLION PRIVATE FIREARMS as they are of your ICBMs. NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS.”
Frankly — and, while he had to be careful as he was under FBI protection at the time, Shevchenko alluded to this in his remarks — I’m as concerned about some domestic tyrant (say, a Hillary, Barack HUSSEIN Obama or Chuck Schumer) as I am about some foreign enemy.
And it is THAT threat about which the Founding Fathers were concerned that prompted them to leave us the Second Amendment.
The BIG question is: WILL WE KEEP IT?

This alone should convince folks that this man is an absolute IDIOT!
and what specific issues are they Barry?
Katie Coric and Brian Williams are sure to ask him at their next interview. Oh wait...
Did I sleep throguht the elections? This poser seems to think he is already president!
Oh the great and feared (not by me) BOWEL MOVEMENT, just what do you mean by WORLD order? You are or were running for the presidency of the UNITED STATES, not the WORLD.
Maybe, after he implements all his new social programs for Americans as well as people all over the world, he’ll have to eliminate most of the defense budget to pay for them. We’ll need foreign governments (UN) to defend us.
If, as the last line of the article states, “The aim of his tour is believed to respond to the criticism that he is “naive and innocent” in foreign policy,” Barack Hussein Obama just proved that he is, indeed ‘naive and innocent’ (and dangerously so) in foreign policy.
He is NO AMERICAN. His mother stated, “They (Americans) are NOT my people.” Like mother, like son. The apple does NOT fall far from the tree.
Just incredible! Imagine a visit to Congress by a Russian or Chinese President, outlining the direction America should take in order to clean up it’s internal affairs! A direction that would be ACCEPTABLE to the rest of the world. My God, this has to be the Twilight Zone!!!
The reason he thinks we need oversea partners to solve our domestic issues is simply this.......
He doesn’t have a clue....
That means B. Hussein gets along well with the Labour/Socialist Party and wants their help in converting the U.S. domestic order to mirror the EUrotopian experiment.
Note that Hussein Obama's shortest stopover was in France where President Sarkozy just soundly defeated the Socialist Party.
yitbos
he did NOT say “and share same views on the world order.”
This guy is a lunatic if he thinks he represents America.
If Obama brings in socialist/communist European and UN troops to impose his Stalinist/Marxist rule over Americans, it will result in a new American Revolution or Civil War. It will be like that movie, “Red Dawn.”
If armed Americans are not successful in overthtowing Obama’s Communist government, I predict the US will split up. The South and Mountain states will break away from the old US, forming either one or two independent states. A new Confederate States of America with the Mountain states part of it. Or, with the Mountain states as a separate Mountain States of America.
WTF?!!
Enlightened though they are, Huffpos and DUfers are notably expression-challenged, so I will help them out with a little exposition of their probable response to this proposal:
Yes, with their superior accents and experience in an inclusive, socially progressive environment, British welfare and education administrators could certainly help us in rooting out insensitive and hateful speech and attitudes.
English speaking election monitors from Zimbabwe and Bangladesh could ensure that hateful racist elements like the Republican Party are not allowed to disenfranchise the oppressed or invalidate the people’s will by actually voting.
Media observers from Germany and China could bring a neutral perspective to the FCC’s expanded powers to guarantee fairness and the suppression of hate-speech in all media, including the internet.
Unarguably McCain has been through the school of hard knocks, and as you argue so well Obambi hasn't.
What’s with all the totally psychotic-seeming expressions of hatred, overhere? It’s too weird. Really!
Ain't no "foreign" policy and no purely "domestic" policy. We're all citizens of the world. Just a world policy.
On this trip, did he get world consensus on where we should set our thermostats?
Been there, done that, it didn’t work...just ask his grandmother.
I'm waiting for the "reporters" to do follow up the questions on Obama's statements.
chirp...cricket...cricket....
Is he writing his own speeches?
In the famous words of the townslady in “Blazing Saddles”, “Up yours ******!
When McCain gets elected the MSM and commy liberals will be filling more than their pockets.
1. “The reason that I thought this trip was important
2. as I am convinced that many issues we face at home
3. are not going to be solved as effectively
4. unless we have strong partners abroad,”
he told a news conference.
Breaking down the running sentence, in order to make sense of it, doesn’t help. It looks like a word salad to me.
Obama is a poseur.
I am trying to comprehend just what British policy employed with regard to its Muslim minority we should adopt in the USA? Obama may be an idiot, but he is a very dangerous idiot.
resurect the Soviet Union, join it and zinggg Cumbayyaaaa
Everything wlll be perfet!
Obamaramadingdong
He’s brilliant! ha ha
The OTHER part of the DhimmiRat agenda...global government, a monolithic nanny state that covers the globe. And, Obama sees himself as the first global president.
This idjit needs to stay in Europe...or the Middle East...or Africa...or Antarctica...or Greenland...or...
“Obama, the hollow man, can damn near say anything as long as he uses a superficial tone that appeals to the Left’s useful idiots.”
He can say near anything, doesn’t matter if it makes sense, because he can not be criticized. As Biden said, “he is articulate, bright, and clean”. In reality, he is only articulate-sounding. However, no critique is allowed as you would be personally attacking him according to him, and are thereby racist.
Yearghhhh! Carter in dumber blackkkk!
IF we ever needed help, the brains of the G7 are there....he just wants us to be closer to his spiritual kin in the mid east!
The Liberals are screaming that Bush is destroying the Constitution. They usually accuse Convervatives of something just before or while they are doing it themselves. With Obama at the helm, they may just try to actually do what they say Bush is supposedly doing.
He did state that as president he would be dealing with these world leaders for the next 8 to 10 years. We all know a term is 4 years. Obama has big plans. He may think he is running for presidency of the world. Could be that he’s delusional.
They'll find some way to get around that. Obama has already said he wants judges who understand the plight of the poor and the oppressed. Nothing about understanding or interpreting the law.
Obama's $845 billion U.N. plan forwarded to U.S. Senate floor 'Global Poverty Act' to cost each citizen $2,500 or more
WorldNetDaily
The U.S. Senate soon could debate whether you, your spouse and each of your children – as well as your in-laws, parents, grandparents, neighbors and everyone else in America – each will spend $2,500 or more to reduce poverty around the world.
The plan sponsored by Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is estimated to cost the U.S. some $845 billion over the coming few years in an effort to raise the standard of living around the globe.
S.2433 already has been approved in one form by the U.S. House of Representatives and now has been placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar for pending debate.
so obama how about you get some partners in the world to pony up to pay for their own poor
I think this would be a much better song for the dem convention...

“The reason that I thought this trip was important as I am convinced that many issues we face at home are not going to be solved as effectively unless we have strong partners abroad,”
Does this sentence make any sense? Shouldn’t there be a couple of commas to offset an independent clause or something?
I think it’s missing....logic. And Strunk. And White.
OKay, let me try it -
“The reason that I thought this trip was important, (comma) as I am convinced, (comma) that many issues we face at home are not going to be solved as effectively, (comma) unless we have strong partners abroad...(ellipsis)”
No, sorry. Better but still doesn’t work.
Okay, one more try -
“The reason, (comma) that I thought, (comma) this trip was important, (comma) as I am, (comma) convinced that many issues we face at home are not going to be solved, (obama non-sequitor) as effectively,, (two commas (I bought a barrel of commas)) unless we have strong partners abroad,”
This is not working...Last try.
“The reason, ( one comma) that I thought,,,,,,,,,,(10 commas so people can pause over lunch and consider whether obama thinks or not) this trip was important......(two elipsises as obama’s missing brain cells try to make one connection to another) as I am (use the word “are” to reflect his education) convinced that many issues we face at home are ( substitute the word “ain’t”) not going to be solved (let’s use “salved” here as I’m sure obama can’t spell) as effectively unless we have strong partners abroad(”looking for a broad for me”)
Close but no cigar. I give up...
“I think it’s missing....logic.”
Yup, he’s a poseur. He likes to use lots of words, enunciated pefectly, with little meaning.

[noun] a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not
If Obama brings in socialist/communist European and UN troops to impose his Stalinist/Marxist rule over Americans, it will result in a new American Revolution or Civil War. It will be like that movie, “Red Dawn.”That is EXACTLY what I imagined when I read this... :O
