Will the media treat Obama differently after his trip??
I have every confidence that Senator Barack Obama will be a smash hit in Europe and the Mideast. He will be overwhelmingly received, he will make wonderful speeches and make a tremendous impact on the global population. I have no doubt the troops will be thrilled to see and meet him on his visit.

My question: Will MSNBC, CNN and other RW shills start treating Obama as the winner we all know he is and will be? The "anchors" will, out of necessity, have to report on the welcome(s) he receives on this trip. Can we hope upon his return to the States that cable will start to treat him with a more positive slant than we have seen thus far?

1. Watch what the MSM does during Obama's trip abroad and then ask this
....Obama's popularity in foreign countries is very high over 85% approval in some countries. My expectation is that U.S. MSM will bash Barrack on this fact alone to drive political wedges that divide and polarize back in America, keeping the political cauldron boiling so to speak

and they didn't even try to hide their snit about not getting an exclusive interview with Obama while the "3 network anchors have access".
Golly, I guess you just can't please everyone. I predict they'll go even more negative to punish him.
