Why is Obama's European Tour Criticized?

Question

There is an uproar over Obama's tour of the Middle East and Europe. He is highly popular in Europe and huge crowds are expected to see him. Many Media columnists and TV programs have criticized this trip, saying that "Obama is acting too presidential," that he is only a nominee and should not cater to European crowds.

However, his opponent, John McCain has traveled outside the U.S. many times. He has visited Columbia, Mexico and Canada, as well as visiting in Iraq. There was no criticism of John McCain for the time he spent out of the country, no accusations of him acting "too Presidential."

My question is...why should it be okay for McCain to travel outside the U.S., while Obama is criticized for doing the very thing that McCain taunted him about? If Obama is more popular in Europe than McCain, should this hamper his freedom to talk to foreign leaders, just as McCain has done? Do you think that Obama should stay in our country, despite the fact that McCain has traveled abroad?

Answer 1

they are afraid the europeans love him more than we do, which may be right.

Answer 2

Maybe cause he is going to see his homeboy terriorists handwork.

Answer 3

Tell me about it! Naive rather I think somewhere I heard that one is parading that not much elders in the village has left certain mongers to placard this as another Garveyism to start an upper class cliche that has always undermine historians accuracy of the Dark Skin Man Race whilst this is a test to see if this one does not wear it healthy then I think we are doomed to start ? moral that engine the flagship which its lobbyism does not service well in the COHESION black community for certain mongers to ? Leadership. My research about this gentleman has even let me went far to ? The chief of itself why this gentleman Sir! His Englishness did serve me right rather have always tell critics when the real Englishness invite you not only he or she is going to whisper awareness rather Victoria enterprise has ignited a class that certain men and women can't understand the metaphor rather they say wind up! I think Europeans are backing this gentleman rather cohesion with that community which chastised it that is their own then there is no place here my friend. What puzzle me as I continue my global journey of journalism education is European Journalism has over shadow the ill conceive that has parading a self finance distraction that over shadow this community Leadership that sometimes I can not even make sense to it rather who ever is spreading the Chip Attitude I will like to ? his or her self moral that constitute his or her facts about the Dark Skin Race.

Answer 4

Simple answer?  He is stupid enough to think that a three day trip to Europe and Middle East will prepare him for the presidency.  People see through that like a window.  He is unqualifed.
