His globe trotting is pissing off some Washington Generals.

Did McCain ever make General? Ah, @#$% it.

 
Chariset [TotalFark] 2008-07-27 03:14:33 PM  
*whistles*

Wow, McCain is turning into an old-man-yells-at-cloud type shockingly fast. The more he says thing like this, the warmer my rather lukewarm Obama support grows.

 
Whamdangler 2008-07-27 03:37:23 PM  
It, um, *is* globe trotting. Why not call it that?

I used to be a globetrotter, but then I injured myself. Now I just skip occasionally, when the mood strikes me.

Because "globe cantering" doesn't roll off the tongue.

I prefer "globulating."

McCain makes this big thing and brings all this attention that Obama hasn't been to Iraq, Obama goes to Iraq and now McCain is whining about all the attention that Obama is getting for going to Iraq. You can't have your pancakes and eat it too.

"I've established relationships and a certain bond of trust with key leaders around the world who have taken measure of my positions and how I operate and I think can come away with some confidence that this is somebody I can deal with."

No, you went globe trotting as a publicity stunt to exploit an opening left by McCain's campaign's suggesting that frequent flyer miles are a valid metric of a politician's worth.

No, you don't understand the meaning of "meeting with foreign leaders."


Plus, he flew on his own chartered jet.

McCain can talk trash, he can even handle the ball...but I don't think he's funky enough to be a globetrotter.

Headline on Drudge: GALLUP: 9-POINT LEAD AFTER WORLD TOUR

/ Obama hit three 3s and Mccain couldn't stop it.

 
Mrbogey 2008-07-27 07:24:02 PM  
So... is subby suggesting now it's racist to even use terms that are co-opted by a basketball team? Is that it? Please tell me that's not it and subby just thinks that "globe trotting" is a dismissive term for traveling.

There is a reason that you have the pretty green highlights around your posts, my friend. A very, very good reason.

A++++ would laugh again.

THAT would be racist.

I'll farking pay for him to go to Berlin.

Seriously. I will personally pay for John McCain to fly coach to Berlin, so we can see if he can attract 200,000+ people (when he couldn't even fill the F.M Kirby Center For the Performing Arts in Wilkes Barre, PA).

If it will shut him up. Frigging whiners.

But we love you because Obama tells us to.

He loves you too, by the way.

how many electoral votes does germany get in 2008?

Stop whining libs.

robrr2003: Stop whining libs.

Interesting tack, seeing as how Mr. McCain has made whining the centerpiece of his campaign.

How many electoral votes are so closely up for grabs in multiple swing states that absentee ballots from Americans abroad might be the tipping point for him? How many of those Americans, if they weren't in the crowd, will at least be encouraged to vote for him by his demonstrated ability to restore the world's faith in America?

Careful, I think they consider that a hate crime now.

Is that insulting? Just seems like imagery.

Not until Obama organizes his Civilian National Security Force. Then it will become a crime.

I'm in that category. Although I was already going to vote for him. As are most other Americans who live abroad, I would imagine.

Another thing you can't say about Obama, you can't call his globetrotting trips, globetrotting.

 
Mr. McPeanut 2008-07-27 08:23:22 PM  
So, wait, does this mean Obama's opponents bet against the Globetrotters?

Who is saying that? No one. Subby found a headline that can be used to make jokes and Futurama references.

How much you want to bet this guy voted for Bush twice?

Yeah, fascism won't be obvious, so we should just vote for the most fascist seeming candidate because they are WAY too obvious about it. Smart!

 
Goodfella 2008-07-27 08:38:21 PM  
What did they call it when McCain went?

McCain trip: Important foreign policy journey.

Obama trip: globe trotting.

I'm getting so sick of the right-wing conservative media bias.
