What was missing at the G-20 was a true revolution in the thinking of the global financial and political elites. And that will not happen without either more inspired leadership at the top or more pressure from below.

I have just returned from an eight day visit to Turkey and I can confirm that Barack Obama is now considered in Turkey to be the virtual president of our planet.

The fact that the majority of the rest of the world shares the viewpoint that Obama is the best -- candidate for the U.S. presidency is only icing on our nation's cake.

Desperate to find some fault, the "balanced reporting" on a series of events that was clearly a major "one-sided" success, the media complained that Obama's speech in Berlin lacked specifics.

If a trip by Obama which included visits to Afghanistan, Iraq and Israel, a speech in Berlin and meetings with numerous heads of state, does not help Obama increase his lead, it is not clear what will.

If we want America to adopt a new strategy, we must lay it out in fearless detail. That means not spending most of a big speech, or a campaign, validating the false premises of the opposition.

This constant cry that Obama is presumptuous, arrogant, elitist -- they're all ways to say he's not acting the way well-behaved minorities are supposed to act. He is acting independently and that's unacceptable.

The Obama campaign hasn't shot down the other smears that have emerged or forcefully challenged the Pentagon's politicized role in spreading lies designed to damage the campaign.

Both Obama and McCain have an opportunity to change the meaning, of what "I am an American" has come to signify around the world. For the sake of our national security, it can't come a moment too soon.

Here in Berlin today, Obama will deliver a major speech in front of the "Victory Column." The interesting question is, perhaps, not what will Obama say -- but what can he say.

Barack Obama continues to demonstrate that he and his team have the chops to relieve the U.S. government of its inflexible and outmoded Industrial Age mindset.

The Right can't have it both ways on this one; they can't hector Obama about not traveling the world, then carp when he does. They certainly can't refer to a politician's travels as being political. That label is as obvious as it is inaccurate.
