[JayMusgrove]

3. I was just thinking that....

I'm so happy our POTUS hasn't "bad touched" anyone at the G20.

10. Ask??? You're Not Supposed To Ask, You're Supposed To Spring It On Her!

4. I am amazed that the German news reporter asks 2 questions

one in English for Obama, and one in German for Merkel.

Such smart reporters, and good questions.

5. MSNBC stopped covering it, but

BBC News America channel has it on Verizon's cable 107.

8. Obama got what he wanted on the economic front and now he's moving on to Afghanistan.

He's really quite remarkable.

I can hardly believe how successful this trip has been.

9. I think it's disgraceful that none of the cable NEWS channels cover the President's news conferences

in FULL! And this is his first time overseas as president. They should be ashamed of themselves! :mad:

[JayMusgrove]

11. I would have to agree!

It's amazing the disrespect the "NEWS" media has for real news.

They would rather talk endlessly about ipod gifts and dresses,and touching the Queen.

As for policy and performance in the office of the President, on European tour, not so much.... break for a commercial.

12. "If it bleeds, it leads!" ... all the "news" is in Binghamton, NY, right now.

It's got all the hot buttons: minority male, "assault" weapon, mass killing, hostages, immigration.

:eyes: Ghoul News - fascination with deranged killers. (We'll get more.)

13. So it was an Asian, TahitiNut?

14. That's a quote from two of the bystanders interviewed.

Apparently, the man's name was Voong ... an ethnic Vietnamese individual. I doubt his citizenship status has been determined.
