Kissinger's praise

Henry Kissinger, who made a rare endorsement of John McCain in the run-up to last year's New Hampshire primary, had kind words for Obama in Munich, where he was receiving an award for "outstanding leadership in the cause of peace," according to my colleague David Cloud's pool report:

In his remarks Kissinger said, "we are meeting in a period of seeming crisis," but the beginning of a new administration…gives an opportunity to review the basic premises on which we operate, and the reaction we have received all over the world [to Obama's election] give me hope that we can overcome."
