McCain could not afford having Obama make a highly-successful tour of the Middle East and Europe, and he must be kicking himself for having urged Obama to make the trip. Obama isn't displaying complacence with his grand tour; he is crossing the threshold of gravitas necessary to be President. Even Reagan didn't cross that threshold until very late, in the last debate of 1980:
Republican presidential candidate John McCain's campaign rapped rival Barack Obama’s Berlin speech Thursday as a “premature victory lap.”
“While Obama spoke to 100,000 people in Berlin and proclaimed himself ‘a ‘citizen of the world,’ John McCain continued to make his case to the American citizens who will decide this election,” said Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for the Arizona senator’s campaign.
