Sounds like the media was following him around waiting for him to trip up, which he really didn't it would seem.
As for the global trip. Why the hell wouldn't he want to meet with world leaders and see Iraq to gain insight that could help him be a better candidate and potentially president?
The notion that this is showboating is absurd, if McCain could pull this trip off he'd do it in a second. The simple fact that Obama can, isn't good news for McCain at all.
While I don't align myself with Obama on all of this platform, I don't think the "lack of substance" arguments are going to work for the GOP. Most of our recent leadership hasn't shown much substance, and even the crack foreign policy team that Bush had under his wing post 9/11 proved to be a terrible joke.
People are looking for vision and change, and it would seem that Obama is giving them what their after. Can't blame the media for reporting that he's doing the right thing.
