Democrats Question Obama's First-Year Travel Record

As Obama's first year as passed, democrat strategist are questioning how much he is traveling overseas. Obama has made 10 trips and stopped in 21 different nations, more than any other president before him. Obama has been using his popularity to improve America's image while he should have been using his popularity to get his healthcare bill passed. Critics say he might have gotten his bill passed if he would have used his time going from city to city trying to explain the bill and put it out there for the people. Clinton made 119 visits to 87 U.S. cities and bush made 101 visits to 80 U.S. cities while obama has made only 58 visits to 30 states. Maybe if Obama spent more time in the U.S. he would have more support for the bills he wants to pass.
