All the video I've seen is the same footage of Obama hugging and signing an autograph for a presumed Afghan and of Obama sitting at a conference table. The video credit is not listed. Obama's campaign said no press is on this leg of the trip so it's either U.S. military or Obama staff video.

I remember when candidate George W. Bush was savaged for not having traveled out of the country much. Obama's overseas travels have been his boyhood in Indonesia, a college-aged trip to Pakistan and his 2006 trip to Iraq, as far as I know.

Hm. All Muslim countries.
