McCain Spokesman: Obama Hasn't Visited Mexico City!

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, [Obama's] 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.

Oh, I *do* hope McCain's campaign makes lots more statements just like that! It really exposes their complete lack of ammo, doesn't it? ROFL. Truly delicious.

No, Obama is not in the NAFTA bag like McCain is -

[lvogt]

You're joking, right?

Dear Mr. McCain,

Please say that Barack Obama has not visisted Disneyworld, Sea World and Universal Studios.

Love,

Sasha and Malia

Obama has never had applesauce jump out and try to kill him.

Neither candidate has shown up in my driveway and I am pissed!

If it is McSame I will run him off and tell them they better not mess up my yard with that Crooked Talk Express!

If it’s Obama, I will invite him and his entourage into the back yard for Iced Tea, lemonade or even a beer.

Now that’s settled let’s talk about some real issues.

I am a St. Louis Metro Native and I weaned myself off AB a few years ago. While I like Bud and AB is a major player in the local economy I don’t like supporting the biggest fish in the pond.

Also money has gotten tight and I can get much more beer by going to the other end of my beer aisle.

Sorry.. McCain has nothing to say regarding the actual issues that concern the majority of US citizens.. he agrees with bush and, as a true patriot, must stay the course.

what are they trying to run a travel agency? you'd think they'd drop the travel advice given how it worked out for them last time. the last thing they need is more photos of obama looking presidential and being loved all around the world.

what are the trying to run a travel agency? suggesting trips didn't really work out so well for them last time, you'd think they'd try and avoid more photos of obama looking presidential and popular all over the world.

Obama hasn't visited Rio de Janeiro!

McCain's campagin have not learn their lesson. When they challeged Obama to the trip, they cry about the results. I have to put Tucker comments in the catogory of, " forgive them, for they know not what they do".

Oh, I filed it under 'Dumb as a Rock Superstars' in my folders!

Clever Republican strategy: Taunt Obama for not going everyplace that comes to mind, then lie about his activities once/if he does goes there.

You'd be sad too if you were a short man who married an heiress a month after you got divorced and would do and say anything to get elected. Then when you finally get your turn to run, the first black man who has a real chance at winning shows up and steals the show.

This'll give Rush the vapors.

Also, Obama hasn't spent six years in a POW camp.... so when's he gonna do that? Huh, huh?
He also didn't call his wife a real bad word. How's' he gonna be president? Or commander in chief for that matter? Huh, Huh?
Obama's got a lot to do.
