Obama Tells a Whopper

The Washington Post reports:

We have a president who chortled about the fact that he has not left the country before he was president.

-

It's very hard for us to lecture others about their economies when we have doubled the national debt during one presidential term, or during the administration of a single president.

--Barack Obama, Foreign policy forum in Portsmouth, NH, November 27, 2007.

It is true that George W. Bush had limited foreign travel experience prior to becoming president, but it is a myth that he had never been outside the United States. Obama was also wrong on the national debt.

Heh.
