I fully understand your reasons for not supporting GWB, but I strongly doubt that his lack of pre-presidency international travel can be cited as a reason for his weak performance in office. AS I SAID...why don't we focus on the US Presidents that had no political experience as opposed to the ones that simply did not travel to countries that required a passport? Thanks for the laugh in bringing up Bill Clinton too...half the reason that GWB is facing the issues that he is today is because Clinton failed to act when he had the chance(s). I really don't see the point of addressing this any further. The whole idea of GWB's credibility being questioned because he didn't have a passport prior to being elected is pretty weak in itself.
