...it seems that the majority of Iraqis think that the junior senator from Illinois is just a senator from Illinois..

It seems that a majority of leftwing US wankers think that the junior senator from Illinois is just the messiah.

Sounds like the press coverage is proportional to his importance. Too bad our press doesn't have their insight.

Seriously, though, living in a country just emerging from a war would give me a different perspective than worrying about foreign elections.

The MSM will report that Obama’s photo op in the Middle East has brought peace and love to the troubled region, ending thousands of years of hatred and strife. Now all we need to do is elect him!! Al Gore has taught us that any story can be sold if it’s packaged properly.

It may be that in an unsophisticated country such as Iraq the journalists have some silly misconception that they are there to report the news instead of to try to run their country by creating it. They’ll come around.

Guess the follow up question should be what has the reporting been like when non-godlike americans of political import visit?

Obama Akhbar......er maybe not so much.

It sounds like obama didn’t make much headway in his quest for world leader.

He's not there to impress the Iraq press, he's there to pump up the US press to go forth and preach the gospel of the Obamassiah. Barry wants to amplify the tingle up Chrissy's leg.

One thing is for sure: Katie Couric won't be hosting a show to give Barry a very public colonoscopy like Katie did on TV a while back. None of the drive-by's want to examine Barry's past, they just want to help him polish his aura.
