Top WH adviser reveals Obama’s ‘greatest trick’ on GOP’s 2016 field [View all]

[n2doc]

Dan Pfeiffer, one of President Obama's most trusted advisers in the White House, has a special request for GOP presidential hopefuls: keep taking trips abroad. Please.

"Perhaps the greatest trick Obama ever pulled off was a successful foreign trip as a candidate, luring countless GOPers into trying the same," Pfeiffer wrote Thursday on Twitter.


Trips to the United Kingdom in particular have become a rite of passage for presidential hopefuls eager to bolster their foreign policy credentials. Obama himself made an oft-lauded foreign trip during the 2008 election -- but back in 2012, his GOP challenger Mitt Romney drew unhappy responses from elected officials in London when he suggested that city was unprepared to host the upcoming Olympics, and criticism over comments that cultural differences could explain why Israelis were more economically successful than Palestinians.

Pfeiffer's taunt follows several recent high-profile foreign visits by potential Republican presidential candidates which have also gone...less than smoothly.
