No ..... He's also visiting Poland, at the invitation of Lech Walesa, and Israel.

And what will Superhero Obama be doing while Romney is attending the opening ceremonies of the London Olympics?

He will be signing the Arms Trade Treaty whipped up by the United Nations - July 27.

What does this treaty do? It doesn’t just control heavy weaponry used by our military but reaches right into the homes of gun owning Americans by controlling pistols, rifles and ammunition with the full backing of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The Arms Trade Treaty is nothing but an international effort to weaken America by taking away the right to bear arms from its citizens.

Lightbulb Romney visiting the UK, why ?

My first thought was that he wanted to hob-nob with the royals, since they're fellow overpriveleged empty suits born into great wealth.

But then, the royals do serve in their nation's military. Something none of the Romneys have ever bothered with.

The Brits love and respect the Royal family.

It's only Democrats in America that HATE people born into wealth.

Which is rather hypocritical since all of the Kennedys were born into wealth. Oh, that's different.

Obama, unlike Romney, isn't clamoring for another middle east war to send other people's children off to.

Call me old fashioned. But I think guys who like to start wars should have seen combat themselves.

Jeez, it took 18 posts for someone to point out the obvious!

When people wonder why libs aren't considered the brightest bulbs in the pack, this thread should serve as a reminder.
