On the campaign trail, Barack Obama has wrapped up his overseas trip to the Middle East and Europe. In Britain, Obama was asked about how the trip would effect his poll numbers.

Sen. Barack Obama: “I wouldn’t even be surprised if that in some polls that you saw a little bit of a dip as a consequence. We’ve been out of the country for a week. People are worried about gas prices. They’re worried about home foreclosures. So, the reason that I thought this trip was important was I am convinced that many of the issues that we face at home are not going to be solved as effectively unless we have strong partners abroad.”
