Last but not least: Barack Obama's cabinet of mirrors
When Barack Obama visits Europe and the Middle East in late July, a whole entourage of media representatives will accompany him and provide live coverage back in the U.S. Interest is apparently enormous. So Obama’s trip is likely to take him less to the Old World than to American living rooms.
On his upcoming trip through Europe and the Middle East, US presidential candidate Barack Obama will be under constant observation by the journalistic elite from the USA. The star presenters of the major television channels ABC, NBC and CBS will accompany him on the trip in the week from July 21 to 27 and present their programs directly from countries such as Israel, Germany and France, as reported by the New York Times according to SDA. The interest in the USA is obviously huge, so the media have sent around 50 journalists to follow Obama and, of course, keep a close eye on whether the candidate makes a blunder abroad. So the media darling is traveling through the countries of the Old World with an entourage that mirrors him in the media. And it is quite possible that he will never really make it there because his speeches are not for his hosts but for the viewers at home. Either way, it should be an exciting week.
