I have no problem with any american citizen travelling abroad. If an American does travel abroad, I have no problem with them holding a rally that gets non-americans to dye their hair red, white, and blue and wave American flags. Since Sen Obama is an American, I have no problem with his travel abroad. That's the nice thing about being an American - there's lots of places that we don't need visas for and the EU is one of them. As to Brooks' point of comparison between Kennedy, Reagan, and Obama, I will again point out that the former 2 were presidents and thus represented 1/3 or America's 3 branches of government and its full diplomatic strength; while Obama simply represents himself as an American - which was exactly what he stated in his speech. Thus no comparison is warranted, accurate, or useful beyond comparing the quality of the speech in inspirational value and, in that respect, Obama was Kennedy and Reagan's equal. That's good company to be equated to, and even better that the equation is equal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:264644 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
