Obama has political perfect pitch!
He used his middle name overseas to change hearts and minds overseas. He listened and did not dictate, just like he said he'd do. He criticized both OUR coutry and THEIR countries when appropriate. He PRAISED both our country and their countries when appropriate. He gave respect to Islam which they badly wanted to hear and just when the RWers were criticizing him for "putting our troops in harm's way by criticizing America on foreign soil," he makes a surprise stop to Baghdad where he speaks to the troops, assures them that as long as he's president he'll make sure they get everything they need and have earned and was treated like a rock star by them! GO OBAMA! You've made us ALL proud! :yourock:

1. Despite having a cold, he made it look easy, too. Team O never sits still.

2. He sure did. I don't know how he does it! But he does it exceptionally well!
The rest of the world sees it. Hopefully, more Americans will catch up-even more than the 66% who approve of him NOW.

5. I wish a mischievious reporter would ask McCain how he felt about 44's world rock star appeal NOW.
The expression on McCain's face would be priceless.

12. On the other hand, isn't it interesting how so few elected Republican pols are on MSM these days?
They are afraid to badmouth the enormously popular President and want to also avoid praising him.
All you hear are has-beens like Newt and Cheney blabbing along with the usual suspects on talk radio.

3. Don't forget he visited with Al Maliki which gives the Iraqi government
complete legitimacy and he and Al Maliki can start doing the diplomatic work of stabilizing Iraq.

13. Yes, he is doing much to restore the faith of the world in America that was nearly crushed forever
And in a way few could have hoped to.

Recommended.
