Telegraph: A article on the results of the Obama World Tour. Toby Harnden writes the following, " But Mr Obama returns to the United States with few demonstrable results to show for his tireless efforts to woo Europe... ". The G20 was a victory for the France and Germany, the end result was a call for more regulation, at NATO Obama didn't get one extra combat soldier, in Prague North Korea announced in all but name that it was part of the nuclear club. In Turkey Obama started to get tough questions from the White House Press Core, it was interesting as it took Obama back to World War One, also France made it clear that Obama had to keep his nose out of EU business. In Iraq Obama must worry that the Bush surge will turn to dust in his hands if Iran starts to play games in Iraq. Thus the elite press might love him, and this he is the secular second coming, the reality of international politics does not have time for such pandering.
