I'm reporting in from the Austin airport. This is going to be a travel day for me. I can't wait to get back to the 'real' east coast. How is the Barack Obama World Tour going?

It is hot and sticky on the east coast. Obama's world tour is on fire, just like his basketball jumper in front of the troops.
