- Political tourism. Two days here and two days there. A sop for the voters and a boost for the media. I spent 25 years of my professional life abroad and am familiar with dignitaries who see life in foreign countries at fancy dinners and through the window of an air-conditioned car.

- For the most part, the media acts without bias or principal, they go with whatever storyline will sell. In the case of John McCain, he never says anything new or profound. He tends to talk in sound bites that just repeat the Republican Party line. When they try and interview him it is all much the same, just repeating the same old line. There is no intellect there to engage in intelligent conversation. Obama has to worry that it is not too late for the Republicans to replace him with a high calibre candidate.

- ABC, NBC & CBS all claim to provide NEWS coverage to the American public and to adhere to journalistic standards. Yet here they are shamelessly building up this trip and pumping up interest for Obama while at the same time ignoring John McCain. McCain has traveled overseas several times in the past 18 months or so. Where was the coverage for him? Maybe 10 seconds on the evening news? Where was the hype and analysis / quotes for McCain''s last trip to Iraq? All three networks are sending their network anchors with Obama. Which of them sent their top people with McCain? This is complete and total proof of massive and overt bias by all three networks towards Obama and against McCain. The really sad thing is this is nothing new, and these people still will claim to be unbiased, fair, and impartial JOURNALISTS! Shame on them.

- World leaders look forward to a US President who can make an intelligent statement, and come up with cohesive policies. The world is sick of George Bush who is a moron and his going around the world killing millions of people and stealing oil. They fear McCain would be the same and Hillary is just a greedy politician. The whole world is looking forward to Obama as president of the US.

- Hey joe1022joe, your completely off the mark. While some of the old entrenched politicians are suspicious of those who come from outside the establishment, the great majority of Europe and the rest of the World eagerly await Obama as the new president. I am a US citizen writing this from Europe.
