Which foreign country should President Obama visit first? |
|
I'm excited at the prospect of Obama in the world peacemaker role.
I'd say
1) Iran 2) Cuba 3) Syria 4) Venezuela 5) Russia
Some of these may be a little bold and possibly dangerous. In that case, which foreign leader should he host at the White House first?

I have never owned a cowboy hat and my people have here since 1820's.
I don't have cowboy boots either or a horse.
I do have some oil and natural gas on my land in the country.

6. I think he needs to visit Russia first and get relationships going in a positive... |

Edited on Thu Jun-05-08 08:57 PM by LakeSamish706
direction in that country (nukes). The US has really been stirring the pot over there of late with their missile defense system and Georgia joining NATO.....
The list redrawn....
1) Russia 2) Iran 3) Venezuela 4) Syria 5) Cuba

18. That's a damn good point. He needs to do whatever he can to help achieve peace in Africa... |
|
but only AFTER he's instituted a complete plan for getting us out of Iraq, and focused on Russia, Iran and Pakistan with a stop over in Cuba and Venezuela.

I think he should meet with our allies to get their input before he brings the more hostile nations in.

12. I think it's usually a tradition thing with Canada/Mexico |
|
I don't know why I think that, but it seems I remember these quick summits with the Canadian PM and the President of Mexico. Maybe that's a more recent thing. For me I can't wait for a Pres. Obama trip to the UK and Europe and then off to Kenya. Now, that's gonna be something to see!

15. Iran. But really, we have a whole GE to worry about. |

It'll be tough to convince conservatives to vote for Obama more often than liberals vote for McCain, especially after how little some of the debates focused on actual issues.
