The Republican candidate John McCain has successfully attacked Senator Barack Obama’s lack of foreign policy experience. McCain frequently cites the last time Obama was in Iraq at his pubic appearances by listing off the number of days since his last trip. The Republican National Committee website carries a running time clock showing to the second that last time Obama traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Recently, Obama campaign released the Democratic nominee’s schedule which includes trips to Britain, France, Jordan, Iraq and Afghanistan - no doubt in an attempt to bolster Obama’s national security credentials and combat McCain’s foreign policy attacks.
On the other hand, Senator John McCain will visit Columbia and Mexico this week to emphasize his international credentials. McCain’s Latin American trip will help him recapture some of the American Hispanic votes that have begun to shift to the democrats, ever since McCain shifted his emphasis moved from immigration reform to border security in an attempt to capture the reticent Republican base.
On June 28, both candidates spoke to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials conference in Washington where Senator Obama received a warmer reception than his rival Senator John McCain.
