Fire Rages in Montecito

The World Waits for Obama
In two months, Obama's administration will take power, but that hasn't stopped foreign leaders from making overtures.

What should he tackle first? And how will the world respond to this new face for America? Larry talks to International Herald Tribune managing editor Alison Smale, Ambassador Elizabeth Bagley and M.I.T. international security expert Jim Walsh.
