Quite a contrast to the low-key coverage of Republican John McCain’s European and Middle East trip in March, Democrat Barack Obama will be accompanied next week by a campaign plane of reporters and trailed by three network broadcast anchors on his five-country European and Middle Eastern tour.

Obama is going to come back "likened to General Patton"...like he's even worthy to utter his name.

How come Obama sat on his butt for a couple of years...doing coke...instead of volunteering for the Peace Corps...or learning Spanish.

The next logical step is to have those anchors read from a text prepared by Obama himself. Oh wait, that’s actually not that far from what is already happening.
