Obama 's planned trip to Israel and the West Bank next week has raised security concerns to levels not seen since the Illinois senator began his presidential bid, officials tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
Coming just weeks after shots were fired at Israel's TLV airport during a farewell ceremony for France's Sarkozy, from an apparent suicide of a security guard, Obama's trek to the region has become a serious logistical and safety challenge.
"I would prefer if he did not make the trip to Ramallah," a concerned government official explained Thursday night from Washington. "And he must use extreme caution throughout Israel at this time, in my opinion, especially Jerusalem."
A planned foot tour of Jerusalem's Old City has been called off, a senior source reveals.
[Obama's specific itinerary is not being made public.]
The six-day foreign adventure is set to begin on Monday. Campaign officials have announced stops in Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and England.

The ultimate irony would be that Obama actually has to make a corkscrew landing and dodge snipers. Too bad for Hillary.
Well, I pray he does stay safe, but if he happens to suffer a head wound and recovers, we will know for sure he is the Anti-Christ < /tinfoil>
Drudge, why don’t you just get a room with Barry? It will make your job easier. Sheesh...
Just saw your post. See no. 44. I can’t figure why Drudge is so unbalanced. Maybe $oro$, maybe something else. I just don’t understand...
He has a head wound EARS!!
Are they kidding? The Paleostinian Islamderthals are in love with him.
Oh Michelle is a little to husky for that skirt.
It’s going to be fun to watch the American public’s reaction to the Europeans laying palm branches before him. His numbers are going to plummet. The sight of millions of Europeans shouting “Hosanas” to the Obamessiah isn’t going to sit well with the Independent voter. Count on it.
Michelle gave him the ear wounds.
(....ducking......)

Dang. He gets whiter and whiter. Pretty soon he’ll be whiter than McCain.
