This BS will just keep going....
from HuffPo:



Following Obama's trip abroad, it looked like the McCain campaign had lost a key talking point about Obama's failure to visit Iraq and Afghanistan recently enough.

But have no fear. Here's McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds on CNN today:

In fact, never met with President Uribe in Colombia, as John McCain has. He has still yet to take a trip to Mexico City to have those meetings there and his relationship with Canada, I think, took a turbulent roll through the primaries. So I think actually if you're to look at the experience of both candidates, that there are very telling differences.


These meetings that Barack Obama had taken throughout the week were a lot of meetings that John McCain was making for the fifth, sixth or seventh time in many cases, and these were his first meetings. So to compare them on the substance, we think, is really incomparable.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/27/mccain-spokesman-obama-ha_n_115223.html

so will Obama need to visit EVERY country McCain has been in? and do they REALLY want him to continue his world tour? the last one made McCain look bad, imo....

4. Well, it's becoming abundantly clear ...
... why McCain spent so much time in the supermarket dairy section this week - you need a LOT of cheese when you're serving THAT MUCH whine.

9. And I loved how Jon Stewart pointed out...
... that McCain posed right in front of the fruit juices labeled "Dole."

Kind of reminds one of... oh, I don't know... hmmmm... }( Not to mention, there's that whole "C'mon, who doesn't shop at the grocery store in their business suit?" misstep. These McCain people are certainly not Message Geniuses. It gives me much hope and glee heading into the fall stretch.

McCain truly had one of the worst weeks in Presidential Election history... and it's like they just can't let it go. They want it to get worser. ;-)

When will McCain complain that Obama didn't go to Czechoslovakia?

When's Mr. Big Man's trip to Burma?? Or Babylon?? And I'm sure that McCain is just DISGUSTED that Obama has not announced a trip to Siam yet.

Obama hasn't done crap.... :)

12. Senator McCain needs to remember
that he doesn't have good ideas, only silly gimmicks and hocus pocus.

Further, even if has a reasonably workable idea, he'll forget and vote against it anyway.
