...Barack Obama gets set to visit Iraq this week as part of a high-profile tour of Europe and the Middle East, Iraq seems unsure of just how to receive him. "Obama is a well-liked person. You feel it when he talks because he's genuine and passionate about what he says - he's not acting," says supermarket attendant Bassam Obeid in central Baghdad. "But this visit is just for election publicity, and 16 months [for U.S. combat troop withdrawal] is an exaggeration."
