But what do they call the schmear?

Palestinian Baker Makes Obama Bagel in Honor of His Upcoming Visit

Palestinian baker Nasir Abdul Hadi is so grateful Barack Obama is making time to visit the West Bank that he has named a bagel after him.

The bagel is baked with cherry tomatoes and mint and is on display Tuesday at Abdul Hadi's bakery in downtown Ramallah.

The presumptive Democratic nominee for U.S. president is spending a few hours in this West Bank city on Wednesday, as part of a Mideast tour. Obama's Republican challenger, John McCain, did not visit the West Bank during a recent trip.
