@ehBeth,
It's a fairly vocal minority, though. Consider the number of posts on this thread by former abuzz people.

@parados,
call CBS and let them know you think they've got the numbers wrong

@roger,
and look at the hundreds/thousands of threads by posters who've never heard of Abuzz

former Abuzzers do seem to travel in packs (comfort with the familiar?) - there are niches that most of us aren't even aware of

How can it be "so far" since Obama has been in office for well over a year?


when CBS prepared the list, the 1st year wasn't up yet



(if people thought there was something wrong with the numbers, why didn't they counter it with the real numbers? it was easy enough to google the source material)

@roger,
In that case, MM should have no trouble producing evidence for his claim, no?

@saab,
Yes saab.. and it clearly states the trips SO FAR by Obama. Since it is NOT still the first year of Obama, why does it only list the trips "so far"?

@parados,
Because that particular report is dated Nov 9, 2009?

Awe shucks! I'm going to South India on Noveember 22 for 24 days, so looks like I'll be missing the Obama family.

i wish Stephen Harper (Canadian PM) would go on a trip, and never come back

it would be nice if he could take Michael Ignatieff, John Baird and Peter McKay with him

@saab,
Should the count for Bill Clinton's trips include those taken by Hillary and Chelsey? If I remember correctly, one of her campaign lines was to talk about how she and Chelsey visited nearly every country on the planet while she was First Lady.

As for your opinion on whether or not i'm obsessed in any specific case . . . help yourself.


She was too polite to say it straight out, probably in consideration that the dinner table be at least moderately civil.

@cicerone imposter,
Count your lucky stars. I was in India when Bush went. It made for 24 hours worth of delays, security checks and really bad food.

@JTT,
He's cute with that broken nose of his. I never mind an opportunity to shake hands with him.

I'm not fond of him in a theoretical way.

I find him physically attractive in person.

@ehBeth,
i'm wondering if Mr. McKay's adversaries are gonna use any of the myriad clips of pete with former Colonel Williams we've seen all over the news, it would make a great negative campaign ad

"Peter McKay has made derogatory comments about women, and he hangs around with convicted murders and perverts, is this the kind of man you want representing your riding?"
