With the news today that Britain is also establishing some sort of withdrawal, time horizon, retreat/defeat deadline, does anyone else get the sense that the rest of the world is trying to politely slip a few cards into Obama's hand?
Perhaps the near alignment of other nation's foreign policy isn't coincidence, rather a subtle nudge to the American electorate as to which candidate would find the most overseas cooperation when they become president.

Over the past few weeks, it seems that the NYTimes has been running stories and analysis of various portions of Obama's platform. It seems after every speech of his, the Times and other media offer an assessment of the feasibility of his ideas. Today's analysis of his health care plan brought this to mind. The McCain camp may have something with their perception that Obama has been attracting the lion's share of media coverage. But, has McCain been receiving the same amount of attention for his economic, foreign policy, health care, mortgage crisis proposals? Does he even have any proposals with specifics?
Perhaps the media does like to cover Obama.
Maybe its because there's something to write about...
