Most of the coverage of the challenges facing a President Barack Obama concerned the domestic economy. ABC was an exception as it sent Martha Raddatz, its White House correspondent during George Bush's second term, to Pakistan to survey a couple of foreign policy worries. When she went to Peshawar, she found the city "virtually surrounded" by Taliban guerrillas. She noted that Bush's Pentagon had already adopted Obama's policy of unilaterally launching attacks on al-Qaeda operatives inside sovereign Pakistani territory, "complicating an already fragile relationship with the Pakistani government and its people," as she put it. Next Raddatz looked at US-Iran relations under the next President. She predicted "a lot more diplomatic engagement…not a lot of saber-rattling."
