Obama causes HEART BURN to Bush

Barack Obama's electoral rival is John McCain, but Obama's overseas trip this week has given heartburn to another Republican -- President Bush.
In stop after stop across the Middle East and Europe, Obama was embraced as the man whose promise of change meant a change from Bush: on Iraq, Mideast peace, the treatment of terrorism suspects, climate change, alliance relations and more.
The tour has brought into focus how world leaders already are positioning themselves for a new American president.
Obama's debut appearance on the international stage was the most vivid demonstration yet that the world is moving beyond the Bush era, even while the White House works frantically in its last six months to salvage what it can of its foreign policy agenda.
In Baghdad, Iraqi leaders who have appeared to be intimate allies of the White House suddenly were saying they wanted the kind of rough deadline for U.S. troop withdrawal that Obama has endorsed -- and Bush has repeatedly rejected.
In Jerusalem, key leaders signaled that they could accept Obama's proposal for high-level talks with Iran, an approach that Bush labeled "appeasement" in an appearance before the Israeli parliament this spring.
The comments appeared to change the debate from whether the United States should draw down in Iraq to how to deal with a different challenge, the militant threat in Afghanistan and Pakistan. That's the discussion Obama has been urging.
So it would be alright to say that Obama is already considered the new President for USA and the foreigners are very much inclined towards him as compared to his rival McCain and even to the sitting president Bush. One major reason for this can be that the complete world is now looking for a change in the global politics agenda that Bush has been pursuing for last two terms of his presidency.
