As Obama hits foreign soil today in Canada, where else should he go with his passport?

A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
by Chad Rubel

President Obama is making his first trip to foreign soil, meeting in Canada to talk with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Liberal Party Leader Michael Ignatieff in Ottawa. Obama is fulfilling the modern presidential requirement (with one grand exception) of making our largest trading partner the first foreign trip.

The last guy made less than 50 trips to more than 70 countries in eight years. And for him, that sounds like a lot, given that some of those trips were G-8 type trips where U.S. participation was highly recommended.

For the White House, intellectual curiosity about the world around us took a 8-year vacation, but it's back. And while President Obama should make his continued domestic trips a priority, he should also stretch his legs and see the world.

It's true that some destinations might require negotiations (Iran, Cuba). And going to Spain might be smart, if for nothing else, but to apologize for John McCain's ramblings and not knowing where the country is.

Or he could go to Brazil and talk sugar-based ethanol as an energy alternative to our corn-based variety.

On Tuesday, we focused more on where Obama should go domestically. But today, we would like to know where Obama can use his passport and travel internationally.

So wave your passport in the air and tell us where Obama should travel to on Air Force One. Bon Voyage!!

Obama's Travels

I agree that Gaza needs to be first, followed by the West bank. Then Israel to tell them "where the bear shits in the buckwheat", i.e. no more money for American weapons, no more Americans die for Israelt until they follow the principles of basic human rights and negotiate a true peace. Then Iran, where an open dialog can start the process of reconciling our differences. I wonder if anyone from these United States has ever asked Iran's leaders what they really want? Is it protection from an increasingly wilder and more aggressive Israel, or help with developing Nuclear Weapos because "everyone else has them"? How can we really work together? And with Bebe Netanyahu in at least a temporary leadership role, he must be part of the multi-party talks with Israel and the Palestinians and Lebanon, Syria and Iran and Russia. Obviously Afghanistan and Iraq must be on the itinerary.... we screwed them up as we did in Iran, and now we need to help them fix it as best we can. Pakistan, India, sheesh.... So that still leaves South and Central America, Europe, Africa, much of Asia. I guess they are all #1 Priority and #1 in urgency. I know nothing about this world now, and can prove it. Perhaps we need an Issue (Project) Manager for each area "of Interest", as we have in Sen. Mitchell and Richard Holbrooke. That would probably be aomething like 120 "Issue Managers" spread across the globe.... to help fix all the places where we interfered.... I guess Domestic Affairs can be left until next week.....

Stay home!

Taxpayers support a State Department of some 30,000 employees, whose main function is to act in the president's name. Send some of them to all these wonderful places and save the enormous amounts of money that is spent on flying the president. Sure, it must be a lot of fun to travel the world in a style that is unimaginable to the vast majority of the world, but it's time for our presidents to start to live like the rest of us, as a common man (read common person) and end this overindulgence. If Obama is truly looking for places to cut federal spending, let him begin with his own White House budget.

travel

How much did it cost the taxpaers for this visit? 3 Air Force Planes- Obama we are broke do you not get it? What a waste of our money. We voted for change-not another 8 years of the same.

Obama Itinerary

First stop - the Gaza strip to explain to the people there why it is okay for Israel to continue to steal Palestinians land and why it is not okay for Palestinians to resist. Please visit what is left of hospitals and the UN building there. Bring food. Next - check out Venezuela and have tea or coffee with Chavez. Ask Chavez for his take on the US economic crisis. Next- go to Iraq and visit the widows and orphans. Ask them if they are happy we invaded their country. Bring food. Take a tour of the international wreckage that we are responsible for and make a change in our foreign imperialistic policy.

Come to East Texas Where I Live

President Obama should come to East Texas and bring with him a check or voucher for a betterhome for me. i was involved in public service work for 30 years with hurricane disaster traffic over ham radio.i was trying to help others. so i think it's about time i get some much needed help.this 40-year-old trailer is about to fall on me.If he can help Henrietta Hughes in FL,then he can help me.My situation is deplorable and somethimes i think death for me would be better. at least i would be out of this situation i am in. Does President Obama care? we shall see. but i wont hold my breath.he is too busy bailing out the rich folks and not the poor.what would jesus do? jesus said "clothe the naked,feed the hungry,and help the poor".who is going to obey that? so Obama, come to East Texas and bring money for the poor like me.

Go To China

Obama should go to China and explain that they need to institute a two dollars per hour minimum wage. He can then stop by India and explain the same and on the way hone he can stop by Brazil and explain the same.
