Obama Overseas!

This analysis piece on the media coveage is right on, with the important observation that the reason the obama trip is receiving so much coverage is because it is actual NEWS. As opposed to McCain playing golf and holding some more staged townhall discussions. Everyone is upstaging him these days:

'Even Fox News broke away from Mr. McCain midevent to cover the rescue of a bear cub wounded in a California fire and nicknamed Lil' Smokey.'

The piece also tongue in cheek notes that while the press has been stalking obama waiting for a gaffe, McCain has produced a steady string throughout, yesterday blasting the US for not being like France.
