McCain Spokeswoman: Obama Trip First "Campaign Rally Overseas"

It's not just surrogates that are giving John McCain trouble. Spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker went on Fox News and said of Obama's trip abroad, "Let's drop the pretense that this is a fact-finding trip and call it what it is: the first-of-its-kind campaign rally overseas."

But McCain himself told reporters on his campaign bus today that he doesn't agree, and that he will "talk to her."

I hope McCain tells her one of his classic 'rape' jokes - because those are sooooo funny, and McCain knows that rape is always a great subject to have fun with.

[HeIsTheOne]

McSame and the GOP are just nervous that Obama may be met with the flowers and love that Bushie thought he'd get after declaring his bogus "Mission Accomplished".

They should be nervous. Especially when the MSM starts broadcasting the details. Tidal wave coming.

[jOke]

shes one of many that practice republican arragance.­.

McCain Voting record
2008-Q2 69 votes 68 missed 98.6% absenteeism. Doesn't he still have a job as a senator? Isnt he getting a paycheck?
If I missed 98% of my job while trying to get another job, I would be sacked!!!

Sad thing is Obama wasnt much better.
2008-Q2 69 60 87% absenteeism. but at least a lot better than McCain.

To be honest, I agree with her. Only I see it from a positive light. After eight years of having our name sullied around the world by the current administration and with world politics becoming much more intertwined and global I think this shows, once again, that Sen. Obama is a man of our times and Sen. McCain is a man of the past. Obama is clearly signaling to the rest of the world with this trip that if he gets elected the US is open for business again: We will engage, we will cooperate, we will be dedicated to the international community, we will not go-it-alone, and we will end cowboy diplomacy. So, yeah, I agree with her that it's the first-of-its-kind international campaign. And for a candidate all about firsts, why not add another to the list. If Obama gives the speech at the Brandenberg Gate (which will be not only historic but an incredibly effective visual) and does not get elected we will look like fools. And after W's speech at the Israeli Knesset, the Democrats and Obama should have no qualms about doing this. Absolutely none at all!

Is it Obamas fault he speaks better than McCain ... that more people are attracted to his candidacy ... that Bush is implementing his foreign policy in Iran Pakistan Afghanistan.

Is it Obamas fault that he got opposition to the war in Iraq right ... that he rightfully points out opening the coast for drilling won't affect the price of gasoline at the pump now ... that free education for doctors and teachers will resolve both the education and health care problems.


Obama isn't responsible for being more gifted than McCain ... for being better liked than McCain ... for running for president when McCain thinks it is his time.

McCains spokes people should quit whining


If you vote for experience this election you will get what you already got ... isn't 8 years enough

How many international fundraisers did McCain have recently, both in the UK and Canada? Isn't it illegal for non-US citizens to give political donations?

If McCain goes abroad, he is being a responsible statesman. If Obama goes abroad, he is "politicizing" our foreign policy.

Sounds like McCain is just jealous that he will never be greeted with throngs of fans in the US or abroad.

[rasthedestroyer]

I wonder what she thinks about gorillas

[VOTER]

Give the lady "some" credit.

She made her comment to Mika of MSNBC'S morning show.

She knew she was safe to say anything to Giggles and get a pass. : - /

Well at least they don't have to worry about security since every terrorist wants Obama to win....hec­k he probably has more to fear from a soldier about Obama's "WE ARE GOING TO SURRENDER AND LEAVE ASAP" position.

[karrezza]

Tator is a tot, if you believe that line of crap... When will you get there is not "WIN" when it comes to war! Tell me what do we "WIN"??? Terrorism just moves around.. it did not start in Iraq, it will not end there either. And what is up with the stupid quotes as if Obama literally said those words?

And you talked directly with the terrorists and they told you this? You have that type inside connections? Which ones? Let me guess, you just think "the brown people" terrorists that wear cloth on their heads, yeah, like them there taxi drivers, yeah......
You do not know anything you are talking about.

[ohiodem250]

He has received more campaign donations from Iraq War soldiers and their families than McCain.

[whitewaterwillie]

Wow. And it appears you do your own polling.

[TheRealMacDaddy]

1) Obama has from the beginning said the "War against Terror" is in Afganistan and in Pakistan and that is where he will fight it. (Something John McCain and George Bush seem to have just realized).

2) What surrender? We have won the war in Iraq. By every standard set by the Chimp-in-Chief the US Military has accomplished the mission. To the point where Iraq is saying set a timeline.

3) As a retired 1SG I can assure you the Military doesn't want to be deployed tour after tour after tour.The folks that comprise the military are much more in touch than you give them credit for. That is why the overwhelming majority in the military support Obama for President. You should go sit outside of the main gate of a military base and count the bumper stickers, you'll see 3 to 1 for Obama over McCain.

4) The men and women of the Military also know who is going to take care of them after they leave the service. They know John McCain has voted no for the expanded GI Bill. They know that John McCain voted 5 years in a row against increased funding for VA Health Care and they know John McCain also voted no to give disabled Veterans the higher COLA increases.

Barack has no problem with the Military, as a matter of fact they are looking forward to his leadership.

[BlackbirdHighway]

Send McCain back where he came from, Panama!

[PAposter]

What's he going to talk to her about, how he can get in on the action? LOL!

[edwarvir]

Do you think their really is a Santa Claus????? uh Jill????

[Koa]

A first ever? What did you call it when McCain had his fundraisers in London when he was supposed to be on Senate business?

[beaupritchard]

Good point ... you have to say it louder ... she won't hear you

[iswideopen]

Who is this woman? Where is McBush getting these people from? They all seem to act just like McBush. He will only "talk" to her because she just made him look like the fool that he is. So much for the fake "clean campaign".

OBAMA
