But wherever Bush goes, he will find Europeans increasingly focused on whomever will succeed him in January 2009. "Leaders in Europe are already looking beyond Bush and apart from a few things that can still be done with him ... the attention is now on Obama and McCain," said Antonio Missiroli, research director of the European Policy Centre in Brussels. Across the continent, there are hopes the next U.S. president will adopt a different approach from what Bush's critics have derided as "cowboy diplomacy." Obama, who would be the first black U.S. president, seems the favorite among Europeans. A recent poll in London's Daily Telegraph showed him with 52 per cent support across five major countries, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Russia, while McCain received only 15 percent. "It's Obama-mania, European style," said Reginald Dale, a European affairs expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "They're nuts about him." Many Europeans admire Obama's stated willingness to talk to Iran and other U.S. foes largely shunned by Bush and also like his promise to wind down U.S. military involvement in Iraq.
