200,000 people turn out for Obama in Germany

[Chris]

A huge crowd estimated at 200,000 came to hear Barack Obama speak today in Berlin....

They are one of our greatest allies, no? This is great. Where is Grampa McSane? Nursing home?

"He is one of those politicians who reaches parts other politicians don't reach," Oakley said. "After the unpopularity of George W. Bush, the world is waiting to love America again, and many see in Obama, with his youth and his optimism, somebody who can bring that about."

Well, I feel like this sums up why the world is already loving Obama. If Obama doesn't win, we might see world popularity reach lower than when bush ran the show.

While Obama was addressing 200,000 people in Berlin, McCain was (and I am not making this up!) at Schmidt's Sausage Haus und Restaurant in Columbus, Ohio.

Pales in comparison to the crowd he'd draw in Tehran

FYI Germans don't vote in our elections, Korky.

Why would he have been anywhere else, not like the Media would have covered it anyways

Were you complaining about the coverage he got when HE went to Iraq?

How you figuring, cookie?

No bounce.

Anyway, I'm just having fun, so don't take my digs on your precious little Messiah too seriously

It's still too early to even pay attention to this crap, it'll start getting interesting about a month out or so.

Again did anyone notice the big rock concert that was free before it? Several bands lead up to his speaking... On top of that, who gives a crap what the Germans want. I sure as heck don't. They don't even teach their children about the horrors of WWII.

What?

No comments about "Old Europe?"

I wonder how Obama felt in that crowd. I sure didn't see many black faces in it

Given that he's a well-educated, well-to-do milquetoast White male Democrat, probably right at home.

He was trying to rally the Ohio State Fans, they are sick and tired of losing the National Championships in football and basketball to the Floridia Gators!

Is this a trick question hunny buns?

 

[KMAN]

Germany has a great track record of electing leaders......LOL

 

[AllieBaba]

That's exactly what I was going to say. They loved Hitler, too.

Why isn't Obama speaking German or French when he addresses these countries? A few weeks ago he was talking about how embarrassing it is the Americans can't speak other languages.....
