The laws of physics dominate buzz as much as they do any natural phenomenon: What goes up must come down. But try to tell that to Barack Obama. His international tour—a trip through the Middle East and Europe, including a buzzy speech in Berlin—dominated headlines throughout the week, and the weekend news clips kept the spotlight acutely focused on the presidential candidate.
The website Politico’s attempt to measure the impact of Obama’s travels drew a healthy round of interest in the Buzzosphere. Was the trip enough to make the first-term senator appear presidential? It’s too soon to see any results in the polls. Even if Obama’s prayers at the Western Wall in Jerusalem were supposed to be private, we’re sure his supporters couldn’t have wished for more buzz.
