As Obama continues his fact-finding tour overseas, the trip is receiving mixed opinions. Supporters say the trip will allow Obama to prove to Americans and the rest of the world that he knows how to handle foreign affairs. Critics (especially those angry little people at FOX), dismiss it as a worldwide photo-op.
But no round of opinions is complete without two cents from Rudy Giuliani, who had something to say about the trip while watching a New York Yankees game with John McCain.
I think the fact that Barack Obama is kind of making his first tour, in essence, of the world, gives you an indication that John McCain is the man with the experience. John doesn’t have to go for the first or second time to these places. He’s been going for 20, 30 years. He knows the world.
Well, McCain has certainly been around the world and back; we can’t really deny that. But is it true that Obama is making his first tour of the world?
Nope. Not even close. In fact, Obama has been described as the “most traveled freshman Senator”, having gone to countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, the Palestinian Territories, Chad, Djibouti, Ethiophia, Kenya, and South Africa. This list, of course, does not include countries from Obama’s current trip, which focuses on Europe and the Middle East.
Who would have thought that such an “inexperienced” young man could have seen so many places?
