OBAMA LIVE TICKER 07/24/2008 ++ Pop Concert for Obama Fans ++ (Der Spiegel, Germany)
6:33 p.m.: The tens of thousands of Obama fans are being entertained as they await the senator. The reggae musician Patrice kicked things off, followed by the rock band Reamonn.
Is it possible that some of the people who attended the Obama Berlin speech were there for the free music?-Caro

Der Spiegel


'Will a German Speak at the Washington Monument in 2009?'(Der Spiegel, Germany)
"The speech of a global citizen," "perfect performance," an "homage to Berlin" -- After Thursday's big Obama show at Berlin's Siegessäule, most German politicians seemed impressed by the senator's performance. But some political experts thought it amounted to nothing more than "rhetoric."

Change Germans Can't Believe In (by Susan Neiman, the director of the Einstein Forum, is the author of "Moral Clarity: A Guide for Grown-Up Idealists."
WITH gestures that ranged from a wink to a sneer, most anyone you met here this week volunteered the view that Barack Obama's visit to Europe caused unprecedented frenzy. But it's been hard for me to find a European, aside from two Harvard-educated friends in Paris, who confessed to excitement - not just about the visit, but the prospect of an Obama presidency... Europeans will be as relieved as 72 percent of Americans to see the end of the Bush administration, but their attitudes toward the Democratic candidate are far from being the same as the ones he arouses at home. Mr. Obama makes Europeans uncomfortable.
Actually, he makes a lot of Americans uncomfortable, too-many of them Democrats.-Caro

Love the foreign press in this one (0.00 / 0)

Nice to get perspective (0.00 / 0)

maybe they are the same? (0.00 / 0)
Europe was in love with Barack toward the end of the primary, and they thought that bad Hillary was going to steal it from him, because they believed she was a party insider and was a racist, Now, where I wonder did they get that notion? So, when he won and it was then clear that he was the insider, some began to think again.  I think that's happened here too, it's not enough to paint your opponent as a bad person, to keep support you have to be the person they want, not not the person they don't want.  We've all been waiting for the substance, and I guess it'll be along wait, we'll probably find out what he'll do the same time he finds out, which will be when he does it.

I think the debates with John will be telling.  John isn't as stupid as he looks, and he's learned to contain his rage, but can he really?  Barack is also supposed to have some anger issues, he gets testy when he was to wait, he gets testy when he gets an unexpected question, he holds grudges, he doesn't like to be clear and so getting pinned down gets his goat, maybe those two will duke it out.  

Hillary - alternative energy

Baby-faced Obama, next to scar-face McCain (0.00 / 0)
the contrast will be stark.

Also their bodies - like (elegant) Fred Astaire to (working man's) Gene Kelly. Astaire was light on his feet, smooth. Kelly's body had low center of gravity.

How funny is it they both had to see the doctor today - Obama hurt his wittle hip playing basketball (it gave the news anchors another excuse to show him dunking a 3-pointer) while McCain gets another skin biopsy.

The big screen (0.00 / 0)
of the Obama monster is freaky. He looks as if he is about to go on a rampage, eating Berliners.  

Alice left me in Wonderland.  
Isn't it hilarious? (0.00 / 0)
The huge screen, the smaller one, then the real Obama. It is so big brother-ish. Ironic, given the big brother Hillary ad Obama's people created months ago.

"Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you?re knocked down, get right back up. And NEVER listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on."
Hillary Clinton - June 7, 2008
