I spoke with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann on Countdown yesterday evening about Obama's popularity as he goes into a set of meetings in Europe with world leaders. I'll be writing more on this later today.

And for those who are up and about this morning, I will be appearing on The Diane Rehm Show between 10 and 11 am EST on the subjects of the London G-20 Summit and NATO Summit. The show takes call-in comments and questions, and the number is 1-800-433-8850.

Hope some TWN readers join the program.

Steve,

It is good to see a "radical centrist" like yourself on Keith's show. I have watched Olberman for a good while now but as a Journalism major, it's kinda hard to remain neutral (ahh...to be a centrist) about issues when you can't help but agree with the man. I'll be waiting for Rachel Maddow to incorportate a story which could you use your commentary and expertise. As far as Obama and the G-20 goes, I can't help but think that the leaders of the rest of the world are excited as hell about working with someone who can actually go to Europe without being detained for war crimes.
