Media stars will accompany Obama overseas – International Herald Tribune
WASHINGTON: Senator John McCain’s trip to Iraq last spring was a low-key affair: With his ordinary retinue of reporters following him abroad, the NBC News anchor Brian Williams reported on his arrival in Baghdad from New York, with just two sentences tacked onto the “in other political news” portion of his newscast.
But when Obama heads for Iraq and other locations overseas this summer, Williams is planning to catch up with him in person, as are the other two evening news anchors, Charles Gibson of ABC and Katie Couric of CBS, who, like Williams, are far along in discussions to interview Obama on successive nights.
I'm gonna throw up.
Ever see “Evita”?
Well, this is Barky's “Rainbow Tour”…..
It's going to be a Media Star Circus with all ceremonial pageantry…enough to make ya puke. I wonder if Obama will do that “queen”-type wave to the crowds. You know, that hand wave that's not really a wave but a twisting of the wrist?
Bambi's people, being incoherent to anything other than spectacle, may just be getting ready to piss off a large chunk of Europe.
According to this, Obama's trading the Branderburg Gate for a bona fide example of Aryan Supremacy.
ALERT THE PROTO-NAZIS; BARRY IS ONE OF THE TEAM!
Oh, you continue to reveal your own foolishness regarding European history by reading (and, frighteningly, internalizing) nonsense pieces from sources like the National Review (on Germany, no less, LOL!)
Can I explain something? There ARE no public sites in Berlin that don't have some connection to the Third Reich! And Mr. Hate Baiter needs to head back to class for corrective geography, because this new spot (this is the first I've heard of it) is over a dozen blocks away from Brandenburger Tor.
It runs in the other direction, and the gate will still be FULLY visible. I'm surprised Merkel would even make that much of a concession.
Now, even though MICHAEL FUCKIN' REAGAN was told to take his demand for a monument-to nothing-and shove it up his own sauerbraten-there are still twelve million politically correct monuments within walking distance.
Opportunities galore for more pandering to perpetual victimhood!
Just wait till he hits Blighty! I'm sure the Archbishop of Canterbury is available for tea!
One more comment. I have a few family members in that part of Europe. They are firmly entrenched on the right. Academics, inventors, serious industrialist types, the works.
To a person, two months ago, mere mention of Barky's name would inspire a nauseating lovefest. If you think I hate fuckin' Bush……
That has changed in the last few weeks.
I'm now hearing that we are morons for falling for a charismatic leader with no substance (a point I made at Christmastime, but was scoffed at, for being “provincial”).
These folks anyway see it as a ridiculous youth movement gone stupid.
And three of them are old enough to remember the last time they fell for a megalomaniac.
So, believe nothing of what you hear in our meed-ya, left, right, or center, unless you can corrobate it with someone who knows for sure.
Most of the European media is as in the tank for Bambi as ours is.
