How many days will it be before we hear Obama describe his courageous arrival in to Iraq for the first time in over 900 days?
I assure you the description will include the words corkscrew landing.
Obama is scheduled to take a trip to Europe and the Middle East during the summer.
The Democratic National Convention starts on August 25th and runs thru the 28th. Obama is running out of time to visit Iraq.
I believe Obama's "surprise" visit will occur during his announced trip to Europe and the Middle East.It's understandable that the Secret Service would not want to telegraph the arrival of a presidential candidate in to a war zone.
Obama should have made the trip over the July 4th weekend so he could clarify his newest postion on Iraq. That would have been a great companion to his week of speeches on patriotism. Some are skeptical about those speeches.
The truth is Obama is saving his trip to Iraq so that he can bloviate about it at the convention. I can hear the soaring rhetoric as I write.
..."I landed in Iraq in a C130. We had to do what they call uhh uhh a corkscrew landing to make it difficult for the enemy to target the plane...etc"
It will culminate in a crescendo of patriotic adjectives about the virtues of our society and the need to make peace in the world. That will be followed by a kumbaya moment with Obama and his Veep.
The crowd will go bonkers,the baloons will drop(along with his poll numbers),the confetti will flutter down,the southerners will look for fried food and Obama will lose the election in a landslide to John McCain. :)

John McCain and
Barack Obama have both reported about 22 million dollars in fundraising for the month of May. This is Obama's worst month yet for fundraising in contrast to this being McCains best.
Is this a trend? It may be too early to tell at this point but should be encouraging to McCain supporters.
This comes as the RNC is stomping the DNC in
fundraising efforts

From AP
...ANALYSIS: The video of McCain's response is edited to exclude the remainder of his answer, where he acknowledged that "things are tough right now." This type of selective quoting has become commonplace. Obama, in criticizing McCain on the economy last week, used only a portion of a McCain answer to Bloomberg Television...
Here is the full story from AP:
New Democratic Party ad edits McCain's response on economy
TITLE: "Better Off?"
LENGTH: 30 seconds.
AIRING: Nationally on cable.SCRIPT: CNN's Anderson Cooper: "Senator McCain, are Americans better off than they were eight years ago?"
McCain: "I think you could argue that Americans overall are better off, because we have had a pretty good prosperous time, with low unemployment, low inflation. A lot of good things have happened. A lot of jobs have been created ... I think we are better off overall." read more »

Here is video of former Oklahoma Gov. Frank Keating - a leading supporter of John McCain - talking with Fox News about the reaction of Howard Dean and the Democratic National Committee to a recent John McCain ad that points out his military service as a POW. Dean calls that being "an opportunist."
Dean just hates the fact John McCain actually has a record of service and valor to run on, as opposed to the two candidates for the Dems whose records look mighty slim next to McCain.
