Obama has already met with Prime Minister al-Maliki, and Cheney buddy Iraqi president Jalal Talabani today, and is being treated like a foreign head of state on this trip. It's a nightmare for McCain, who along with Bush has looked like two guys playing catch-up.
This says far more about the damage the Cheney administration has inflicted on the rest of the world. YES, the world wants Obama -- no more republicans. But that luster is likely to fade with the only question being, sooner? Or later?
