President Obama, record-setting globe trotter
USA Today The OVAL
Obama is going overseas to escape the mess he is creating here
When President Obama takes off for his Asia trip tomorrow morning, he’ll be adding to a presidential record — most foreign countries visited by a first-year chief executive.
After stops in Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea, Obama will have been in 20 countries this year, during eight separate foreign trips.
The previous record holder: George H. W. Bush, according to Oval pal Mark Knoller of CBS News. The elder Bush went to 14 countries on seven foreign trips during his first year in office, 1989.
Bush’s son, George W., went to 11 countries on five trips in 2001. Bill Clinton did only three countries during two trips his first year in 1993.

Tom, you have posted these same comments for the last few days now. What do you suggest we do? or what is it that you are doing for the cause? Just asking.

I hope Tom keeps saying it over and over.
As a retired Military officer, I am going to order our troops in Afghanistan to stand down in safe places and not to fight until this "weak" Commander-in-Chief can sit down and make a Military decision (NOT A POLITICAL ONE). Where are Obama's priorities. God help the USA with a phony leader like him.

He can`t make a decision because he is a muslim and muslims can not kill each other. How the hell did we get to this place?? God help us.

all it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. let's not rely on "someone" to do something, let's band together as americans and take immediate action to remove him and his cadre of followers by whaterver means it takes. i do not advocate vilolence but if by no other menas then he must be removed by force, but he must be removed to save this nation.

America"s Military. under the Constitution, is there to keep America Safe from enemy harm. Taking orders from the Commander-in-Chief. The majority of are voting Citizens have fallen for the "BS" this man has promised, hopefully they now regret that decision. NOW we must find away to rid ourselves of this ANTI_ American, Muslim. ASAP
