Amman, Jordan
Barack Obama, the US President arrived in Amman, on the latest leg of his Middle East tour. This was the last stop for Obama and probably the most successful of his stops. Here he discussed with the Jordanian parliament and King Abdullah ll over the topic of the two state solution for Palestine and Israel. He also emphasised that while he believed security in Iraq had improved, there was still the need for a "political solution" and said the goal was still "to have US troops no longer engaged in combat operations in Iraq''.
President Obama visited the Billionaires Row in San Fransisco early this year for a fund-raiser that will raise money for "Organizing for America", Obama's Democratical National Committee. The fundraiser consisted of a dinner and a reception. Obama arrived at the funraiser in his motorcade, where the crowd which was previoudly protesting jumped into cheers after they saw their president. By the time the motorcade reached Union Square, hundreds of protesters and crowds had gathered. While talking to the press Obama explains: "The biggest barrier between a doctor and a patient ... are the insurance companies," he said.

President Barack Obama travelled to Europe and the Middle East on Saturday 28th of June, 2008, saying that problems encountered by Americans are often best dealt with by working with allies overseas.(how?) Obama told reporters after finishing talks with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he wasn’t sure if there would be any immediate political impact from the trip. He says: “The reason that I thought this trip was important is that I am convinced that many issues that we face at home are not going to be solved as effectively unless we have strong partners abroad,” Obama said.
Germany
The president turned his visit to Germany into a poignant reminder of the need to seek peace. He arrived in Germany on Friday. The trip occurred after his trip to the Middle East, and the issue of Mideast peace remained high "An important matter at hand". He and German Chancellor Angela Merkel worked for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After visiting a concentration camp at Buchenwald he commented "To this day, there are those who insist that the Holocaust never happened -- a denial of fact and truth that is baseless and ignorant and hateful," What I don't understand is why Obama would go to Germany to discuss Middle Eastern problems.

Ghanna
President Obama travelled to Ghana in Africa this year, for a speech addressing improvements for Ghana's government, as in how to run it, suggesting candidates and political areas they must improve on. He discussed mainly on how the constant violence was ruining their chance for freedom and prosperity, which has been toiling Ghana for a long time. He called it "a millstone around Africa's neck." The conference was a huge success for the president along with the Ghanaian government. It was rather an unusal style of convincing people although. Obama talked a lot about battles in Ghana and how they could strive to be a better country

Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park
President Barack Obama, his daughter Sasha Obama, wife Michelle Obama and daughter Malia Obama visited Yellowstone National Park this year, in their personal plane, the famous Air Force One. This trip was just for entertainement. There he toured the Old Faithful geyser with ranger Katty Duffy. They toured around for the entire day, attracting a lot of attention from park rangers, customers and papparazi. If reports are true, it was an amazing experience for the President and his family. They will probably be back to the park soon for another amazing visit.
