Foreign tour is media bonanza for Obama

Candidate meeting with foreign leaders, lining up network interviews

AMMAN, Jordan - Jordan, Israel and Germany aren't normally known as swing states in a presidential campaign. But Barack Obama's off to a fast start in his attempt to change that with an election-season tour designed to show him as a potential commander in chief, equally comfortable sitting down — presidential style — with kings and other foreign leaders.

"The objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people ... who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years," he said recently, evidently looking beyond this fall's election to a second term in the White House.

That was in one of a string of network interviews he's lined up on his trip, a journey that arguably will net him more media exposure in the real swing states — Ohio, Colorado, Virginia and elsewhere — than he'll get even during the week of the Democratic National Convention later this summer.
