U.S. Senator and 2008 presidential nominee Barack Obama's 2008 overseas trip took place between July X and Y, 2008.

Traveling to Afghanistan, the Middle East and Europe as part of a congressional fact-finding mission, Barack Obama visited with Insert World Leaders here as well as U.S. military leaders in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

The trip, which was Obama's first to the region since 2006, was widely seen as a move to build his limited foreign relations credentials. Need lots of sources for this one
