So after the George Bush wagging inger farewell tour to Europe we can look forward to a visit from Obama before the November elections. Wouldn't suprise us to see McCain here too at some point.
As President George Bush continues his farewell tour of Europe this weekend the two men lining up to succeed him in the White House are plotting trips of their own to prove their foreign policy mettle.
John McCain has been goading Barack Obama into visiting Iraq this summer and trying to paint him as a foreign policy naïf who would be hopelessly out of his depth as US commander in chief.
Needled, Mr Obama says he will go abroad before the November election. The itinerary for the trip, likely to take place ahead of August's Democratic Convention, will almost certainly include Iraq and a whistlestop tour of Western Europe, where his popularity is at its height.
The Illinois senator's advisers want to demonstrate to wavering voters at home that an Obama presidency would work wonders for the country's tattered international image.
