Media Stars Will Accompany Obama Overseas By JIM RUTENBERG
WASHINGTON — Senator John McCain’s trip to Iraq last spring was a low-key affair: With his ordinary retinue of reporters following him abroad, the NBC News anchor Brian Williams reported on his arrival in Baghdad from New York, with just two sentences tacked onto the “in other political news” portion of his newscast.
But when Mr. Obama heads for Iraq and other locations overseas this summer, Mr. Williams is planning to catch up with him in person, as are the other two evening news anchors, Charles Gibson of ABC and Katie Couric of CBS, who, like Mr. Williams, are far along in discussions to interview Mr. Obama on successive nights.
And while the anchors are jockeying for interviews with Mr. Obama at stops along his route, the regulars on the Obama campaign plane will have new seat mates: star political reporters from the major newspapers and magazines who are flocking to catch Mr. Obama’s first overseas trip since becoming the presumptive nominee of his party.
The extraordinary coverage of Mr. Obama’s trip reflects how the candidate remains an object of fascination in the news media, a built-in feature of being the first African-American presidential nominee for a major political party and a relative newcomer to the national stage.

They are making fools of themselves. They show us they are nothing but poodles to the obamasiah. We will see nothing but verbal bj’s throughout the week. McCain should joke about it but he should make a point of it.
A truck load of monkeys.
Media Whores For Obama.
They are just HACKS Jerry...HACKS!
Lets see if the New Yorker puts up a satire of these prestigious “news” anchors liking the shoes of the great one. They have truly become laughing stocks.
Ok, packing my suitcase:
Extra undies for 120 degree heat. check
High socks so the camel spiders can’t bite my legs. check
Cool hat to look good on camera. check
Knee pads to suck up to the Obamessiah. check
Let’s try this headline:
Media Stars Will Accompany US Troops Overseas
There fixed it...........
Maybe the Mahdi Army will have a parade for Obama when he arrives.... AQ floats, and American flag burning demonstrations, all while Obama wears traditional Arab clothing, shooting an AK-47 in the air.
It just wouldn’t be a proper procession without his courtesans...
Gee, I hope some Muslim extremists don’t kidnap Couric. She’s much too valuable to have anything happen to her. It seems like about a year ago when they were talking about her going to Iraq she said she was a single mother and couldn’t take the risk. I guess it’s safe now. Wow the surge must have worked. I hope Barack isn’t so wrapped up with the Media Whores that he has some actual time to talk to the generals and maybe learn something first hand instead of the filtered version made up by CBS, NBC, and ABC.
Denver surprise with Hillary as nominee? The rumor mill rumbles of supers changing to HRC
No surprise, but this is crap.
Oh my Stars!, the nitwits of the screaming media. They will take the bullet for nobama, should one would fly into a safe area.
Katie Couric? That ought to finish his candidacy.
“With his normal retineu of following him oversea?” When WAS HE LAST OVERSEAS, EXCEPT to africa?
