That old saw about one picture being worth a thousand words is pretty right on here, but it's worth 200,000 faces.McCain chided and belittled Obama for not doing the Afghanistan/Iraq tour. OK, so Obama decided to make the trip. And now that he's getting standing ovations from troops, and locals alike, the McSame campaign is whining that he's getting favourite son coverage while the coverage of McSame's recent events were less than impressive and less than news worthy.
The McSame campaign blew his cover by posting the dates of his trip. What were they thinking?
I'll leave that to you; considering the fact that Rove is onboard the McCan't campaign's double talk express.
All that said, I find it refreshing to listen to a speech by an articulate, composed candidate who chooses words carefully, and doesn't lose his temper or talk down to, or diss his audience.
And so it goes.

You got that right!!!!

And I thought Bob Herbert's NYT retort was pretty good:
"Let’s see if I’ve got this straight. Barack Obama is a United States senator, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and his party’s candidate for president of the United States — and yet it was somehow presumptuous of him to meet with foreign leaders last week during his trip to the Middle East and Europe.
I’ll say this about Senator Obama. He sure raises people’s hackles. I’ve never seen anyone so roundly criticized for such grievous offenses as giving excellent speeches and urging people of different backgrounds to take a chance on working together. How dare he? And 200,000 people turned out to hear him in Berlin. Unforgivable."
Happy belated.
