Since he appears to have wowed the world (except for their leaders?), maybe he's including his years of being the savior to the world following his presidency:
Today on CBS's Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Afghanistan, told the paparazzi-pursued correspondent Lara Logan that "the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.(via)"And it's important for me to have a relationship with them early, that I start listening to them now, getting a sense of what their interests and concerns are."
BTW, Obamanites, listen to these words of wisdom:
"Euphoria in politics is an invitation for disappointment," von Klaeden said.Obama will not live up to your expectation, no politician can.

I think Charles Krauthammer's column about Obama is wonderful; you can read it in the INQUIRER today.
Lieberman is also correct that it is due to Senator McCain that it is safe for Obama to travel in Iraq!
No, conservatives don't despite Democrats. We feel bad for them, don't trust them with power, but we don't despise you guys.
there's the difference, chris. i don't trust democrats or republicans or religious leaders with power. i just distrust republicans most. ;) maybe it was tricky dick and that he really was a crook. maybe it was reagan breaking the law that did it. maybe it was the do-nothing term of bush sr. that did it, or maybe it was the near total corruption of the republican senate and house that did it, or maybe it was the out of control spending, or the iraq debacle, the katrina failure, the outing of a cia agent, the schaivo involvement, or bush jr. violating the law and not protecting the constitution, but instead violating it at nearly every turn. maybe it was because bush (and giuliani) dropped the ball on sept. 11. but most certainly it was the total and complete incompetence of this administration from the bottom on up.
"... it is due to Senator McCain that it is safe for Obama to travel in Iraq!"
teehee! now that's funny. because mccain swept the country of all insurgents and hoodlums and "evil doers?" uh-huh. thanks, john.
So, does this "Constitutional scholar" not realize that there is this little thing called the 22nd Amendment that holds a president to only two, four year terms? Um, that would be a grand total of only 8 years, Barack, not 8 to 10. Of course, no one in the media is reporting this idiots gaffe.
amandy, he didn't say that he would be president for 8 to 10.
and how did you read about it, if "no one in the media is reporting" it? think about it... it'll come to you.
