Crowd puller Obama may make quick UK stop along busy road to White House
"Obamamania" could be about to cross the Atlantic. Barack Obama is planning his first overseas trip since he launched his US presidential bid in February last year - and Britain is pencilled in as part of a possible European tour next month.

A source with knowledge of the plans said the Obama campaign has opened discussions with the British government, but stressed that a final decision has yet to be made.

The Democratic nominee for the Oval Office would be a huge draw in Britain.

In the US, he has proved to be an extraordinary crowd puller and polls suggest that he would generate excitement in the UK too, with the public almost certain to line the streets of London to see the man who could be the next resident of the White House.

1. Excellent! I'm sure he'll fly directly home if something serious comes up, unlike bush.

Obama's trip to Europe will draw massive crowds, cheering, no doubt. bushco and McLame will be embarrassed.
