Road Trip

As Obama wraps up his world tour he seems to have done a bang up job overall, not that the right hasn't been salivating for a faux pas on the candidate's behalf. He has avoided mispronouncing names, he hasn't oddly fondled another world leader and most importantly, perhaps, the rest of the world (with a nod to Sally Field) likes him, they really like him.

So yeah Obama. Congrats on showing the people on this planet outside of our borders that Americans can be eloquent and rational and inspirational.

Perhaps my favorite part of the whole week requires another nod to Stephen Colbert who has been on a role this week (although The Daily Show's anchors' ode to the media's love of obama runs a close second). His commentary on the entire media accompanying Obama on his trip (except for Chris Wallace of FoxNews) is a riot.


Even Colbert doesn't want the world to think he is a FoxNews anchor. Now that is awesome.
