So Obama is going to Europe? Why? Hopefully to cement his place in the narcissistic politician hall of fame. But that is already full and we have found him to be another politician, he doesn't get the wing Michelle would be proud of.
Slate brought forth four things that could go wrong. I would be happy for two to happen.
Here are a few that could turn Obama Does Europe into a nightmare:
The press in Europe would slit a puppy's throat for a story. And we know how well Obama speaks when he isn't given the script before hand. There was a French movie called Ridicule several years ago. In it, a noble used his wit to help his people, his man rival knew the topics before, thus rehearsed. Guess the ending there. My point is, Obama is not strong in improv, he needs his teleprompter. What if we tricked him into the Q & A at Parliament? It would be a stammering bloodbath.
Of course he doesn't speak Spanish or French. But ignore the facts.
Umm, have you seen his website on Iraq, oh wait. That has been "adjusted".
Do you think they see a loss in November?

Here are a few that could turn Obama Does Europe into a nightmare:
1. The Big Gaffe: All those cameras mean any substantive slip-up will be magnified. There's no indication that the Obama team will be letting the foreign press question him, and for good reason—they're often tougher than the U.S. press corps, in part because they don't have to worry about long-term access. If they do get to fire some questions, the threat of trouble goes up.

2. The Ugly American: Obama is very popular in Europe. He'll be well-received, and that may delight many Americans who don't like what George Bush has done to the country's reputation.
Of course he doesn't speak Spanish or French. But ignore the facts.
3. Phony Junket: McCain's team will charge that Obama isn't working; he's just going overseas to make pretty pictures. In diplomatic relations, good pictures and goodwill matter, but there's truth to this charge—he's not going to Germany or Iraq to negotiate a treaty or anything. No real work is being done, but the Obama campaign will strive to give the impression that the senator is listening and evaluating, particularly when he visits Iraq and Afghanistan, even if he's not likely to change his position on those wars.
Umm, have you seen his website on Iraq, oh wait. That has been "adjusted".
4. Hubris Alert: Who does Obama think he is? He's not the president. He's not even his party's official nominee yet. Obama has no shortage of self-confidence. If the trip looks a little too presumptuous, voters who have doubts about his experience might wonder where he gets off acting a part they haven't given him yet.

Yeah right, that will happen...
Good job here Obob.
Obama is beating McCain in the polls, I don't think they fear a loss, they just want us to take down the widgets at our blogs saying Obama hasn't visited Iraq in so many days.
can that actress in the poster just bend down a LITTLE more for the cleavage? (I'm just sayin...WHY do they need to do that?)
Europe loves Obama. But, Mr. Z is FROM Germany and the scuttlebutt about his speaking at the Brandenburg Gate isn't good. WHO asks for THAT big an honor? Only Obama. And, Alan Colmes said "The White House told Merkel to deny it" and had ZERO proof of that..Merkel denies it AND the the gay VERY liberal mayor of Berlin has that say-so anyway! He'll be speaking at yet another quite revered place...WHO does he think he is?
I simply don't get candidates going to Europe or the ME and talking to their leaders or their people. SINCE WHEN? it's dangerous and smacks of such ego...
Well, couric, wiliams and gibson will have fun, at least. ugh
this will be a morbid dog and pony show. Maybe the independant will realize his hubris will be ten fold of alleged arrogance of GW's admin
This is the Messiah World Tour. In the end, it will only make him glow more, put some shine back on the apple for the Obamatons.
Beth: That sounds about right.
Z: Don't knock the cleavage. It's another deposit in the spank bank.
