security fears shadow obama tour

Obama 's planned trip to Israel and the West Bank has raised security concerns to levels not seen since the Illinois senator began his presidential bid, officials tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

Coming just weeks after shots were fired at Israel's TLV airport during a farewell ceremony for France's Sarkozy, from an apparent suicide of a security guard, Obama's trek to the region has become a serious logistical and safety challenge.

"I would prefer if he did not make the trip to Ramallah," a concerned government official explained Thursday night from Washington. "And he must use extreme caution throughout Israel at this time, in my opinion, especially Jerusalem."

A planned foot tour of Jerusalem's Old City has been called off, a senior source reveals.

[Obama's specific itinerary is not being made public.]

The six-day foreign adventure is set to begin. Campaign officials have announced stops in Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and England.

Anybody who runs for the Presidency or becomes President is a target for assasination.

The MSM's focus on this topic with Obama while not raising the issue during any of McCain's trips shows once again Barack is the choice of the ESTABLISHMENT.

No...it's just cognizant of the fact that if a Democrat dies, it's a tremendous waste of potential but, if a Republican dies, it's a conservation of oxygen.

A media ploy that is most likely funded by you-know-who’s campaign. Tada! A last ditch effort to convince whomever of his foreign affairs savvy and concern?

Senator McCain's numerous trips to the Middle East and troop interest has been ongoing and not a mere political stunt.

Enough is enough.
No other people class has been such a large recipient of tax dollars and so unfruitful, we have more problems now that we have decided to make "victimization" profitable. No more subsidies for the black agenda, we are one nation, not a black nation within a nation.
If you can't stand on your own two feet in America, its YOUR fault.
then you whites should have left them in africa you savages make more latino cops and see if you be able to stand on your two feet you harass black people latinos , koreans , anyone who isnt white im glad an african is going to be president i dont care what happens united we stand united we fall got to go someday

Time for the Muslims to issue an all out Fatwa against Obama. It's their religious duty to do so.

It wasn't just whites buying and selling the blacks to come over here! Blacks were selling other blacks to the whites for profit. If you don't like all the "free" help you get here just to set on your butt to draw more wel-fare why don't YOU go back and "OUR" country will be better off. Most of you have nothing to offer but complaints and how unfairly you have been treated. You think for one second that if you complained about your treatment in "YOUR" country (wherever you come from) that you would not be punished or worse? Get a grip! And a black president is not going to help you he is above you and looks down on you worthless citizens. Just like everybody else he will tell you what you want to hear to get elected. Do you really know what he stands for or do you even care? What will you do when he takes away all your welfare?? Can you afford more taxes on top of everything else that keeps going up?
