Looking Presidential

Barack Obama is on a stunning roll this week. With successful trips to Afghanistan, Iraq (having Nuri al-Malaki tacitly endorse his Iraq withdrawal plan totally cut the legs out from under Bush and McCain on that issue), and Israel under his belt, the Obama Charm Offensive and Audacious Hope Road Show appears to be conquering Europe. Two hundred thousand Germans eagerly greeted him in Berlin and his stop in Paris is likely to generate that kind of enthusiasm as well.

Boy is it going to be refreshing to not be embarrassed when the President travels abroad. And on this trip, Obama looks every bit the part.
