"My childhood is foreign policy
experience", claimed Barack
Hussein Obama while campaigning in Iowa. |
|
Democrat Barack Obama
said Monday his childhood experience in Asia and his family in Kenya
give him a foreign policy understanding greater than politicians who
merely take junkets to other countries. |
| The
senator from Illinois who is serving his first term is often asked
whether he has the foreign policy experience to be president. He
received this question at a town hall meeting in Clarion, Iowa. |
| He
said, "I spent four years living overseas when I was a child living
in Southeast Asia". Obama was born in Hawaii and spent four years in
Indonesia. "My father is from Kenya. That’s where I got my name.
He’s passed away now, but I still have family." |
| Obama
continued, "A lot of my knowledge about foreign affairs is not what
I just studied in school. It’s actually having the knowledge of how
ordinary people in these other countries live." |
|
A nation that
even considers this person as presidential deserves this person as
its president. |
