Well the early assessments of Barack Obama’s “World Get to Know Me Tour” are in and he and his campaign production company are receiving nothing but rave reviews. Before leaving Israel for the European leg of the trip, he made a predawn visit to the Wailing Wall placing a note to the big Guy in the crevices for good luck. By all accounts he left the Israelis with a favorable impression as well the Palestinian leadership. Israel was clearly the toughest audience Barack Obama was going to face on this whirlwind adventure, but he held to his P’s and Q’s while crossing every T and dotting every I to give the Israelis all the assurances they would need to feel his commitment to their security. Going one step further than John McCain did on his visit to the troubled region, Obama was gracious enough to make a stop in Ramallah to chat with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
