Yeah, that was in the days before bias, election-engineering and proclamatioins of false hope by the tabloid networks. (CBS, NBC, ABC)

thcbongman: No, Osama's a moron for thinking we won't remember his congressional stances, his past associations, his abandoned 'quasi' religion, his socio-marxist policies...

I love it. Obama rags on all of the citizens of the USA for not learning foreign languages, saying that ??I agree that immigrants should learn English.? But then he went on to poke fun at those who argue that ??we need English only? and Americans who ??go over to Europe, and all we can say is ??merci beaucoup.?? ?

??Instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English ?? they??ll learn English ?? you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish,? he said. ??You should be thinking about how can your child become bilingual.?

Am I missing something...? Did Obama learn a couple of new languages for his overseas trip...? Any guesses how many languages his kids speak? One.

Tens of millions of taxpayer dollars taking a trip to everywhere but Main Street, USA...many hundreds of thousands of Middle Eastern and European 'fans' watching his every sermon...yet it doesn't look like he gained a single vote back here where the croud matters. Quite the effective use of taxpayer dollars to support his international campaign, 'eh?

Too bad he and his senatorial staff refused to go into the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center without the camera crews and campaign personel. (against hospital policy) Would have been a good human thing to do, regardless if politically profitable or not.

And Osama's stammering thru ill concieved statements and speeches is normal...? Every other sound out of his mouth is a vowel not associated with the speech. Um...a...a..um..er..ah..
