Personally, I'm just happy to see an American Leader who is not hated by people in other countries.

If the observer is trying to pick this event apart, then he or she is missing the point. The Germans (like other people) are looking for more peace and less war. They want to live in a safer world, and most people think Obama can move us in that direction.

And if you thought that Senator Obama’s college events were like rock concerts, check out his reception in Berlin today.

The majority of people in other countries do really like Obama, primarily because he is neither John McCain nor George Bush.

They correctly perceive that McCain will be a continuation of Bush’s foreign interventionist policies – in fact, he intends to advance and exacerbate those failed policies.

Go Obama!

Oh come on we all know that Obama could just stand there and stare at the crowd and all the reporters would say it was the greatest thing ever. He is good speaker with a prepared speech doesn't mean he should be president.

Mother Nature kept McWar from making a fool of himself today....again!

Why would europe hate him? he HASN'T DONE ANYTHING. good or bad. he is a black slate know nothing do nothing senator.

so of course they don't dislike him-they don't know him. noone does. he is a sham candidaite. this trip is his summer internship and a photo op. that's all.
he realizes its more about images and word than actions and solutions for america.

Obama: Nothing but BS and hot air!

I hear that Bratwurst and Kool Aid was on the menu

Obama Campaigning in foreign countries, is about the dumpest, Stupidest Thing a candidate has ever done.

Does he think if he Impresses the Germans, He will be more Acceptable to Americans?

Does he Think His marketing super star PR, Will give an edge at the voting booths.

It takes more to have a good foreign relations with other governments, than being able to make a speech to another countries citizens.

Does he plan on coming back saying the world likes me, so you must vote for me.

Obama is still acting like this is a high school popularity contest. He does not grasp the concept That is more than that.

Someone Should let Obama know, Talks cheap. Any one can bullshit their way through many things.

Actions speak louder than words, and he still has not done anything for America.

seah -- it's all about his ego, nothing else. He thinks he's JFK or something. He'll come home claiming he's gained all the world's knowledge in several one-hour meetings and the lemmings will say "Oh yeah -- what a guy!"

I agree, keep Barack in Iraq! Keep him in Germany! Keep him anywhere but in the U.S.! Our country depends on it.

Toothchipper,

Obama is not a leader - he is running to be the leader of the country. Currently he is rockstar.

I FOR ONE DONT CARE WHAT THE GERMANS THINK ITS WHAT THE AMERICANS THINK COMING FROM A INDEPENDENT VOTER FROM A LIB STATE

I'm voting McCain. Not because I hate Obama so much or love McCain so much. I'm voting for McCain because of his proven track record of bipartisan cooperation, his decades of experience which give him realistic perspective on what Washington can and cannot do, his fiscal conservitivism and his pro-life, opposition to gay marriage. Again I do not hate Barack Obama. He is an understandably ambitious politician who believes that socialism will solve healthcare ala' Canadian waiting rooms. He believes that America should go back to waiting sleepily for terrorists to attack us and then go try to round them up and make them citizens in our courts. He beleives that it would be better for the poor to starve under oppressive energy prices than to increase supply from our own reserves. All for the sake of the environMENTAL crowd. Obama wants to take us back to the days of 50% income tax. McCain wants a fairer, flatter tax system.
There now-thats how you articulate support and opposition without getting nasty.

This is just press hype. The press preferences are impossible to hide.

Right, you just convinced me to vote for Nader! Thanks, that was so very nice of you, I am happy now. I do not hate McCain or Obuma, just do not like or trust either one of the poor choices thrown at us, ugh! Time for BIG change.

Maybe if you people would stop being so whinny about Obama and listen to what the man has to say you might learn how to be better people. Right now, you are all sounding like stupid idiots.

He has great hope for this country, I feel Obama is on the right track of what we need to do too better ourselves, not only within our country but also outside of it.

Are they going to show the anti war protesters at the Obama rally

how does the song go?? Look at all the haters..haters everywhere i go.. where i go.. haters going down for the count.. Obama 2008...baby

Obama insists on no placards. Wonder why? Couldn't be a case of making something appear as it's not -- like removing Islamic women from camera's views or shifting the audience to make it appear it's racially balanced for the day.

What an egotistical self-indulgent elitist!

Obama: Mister double-talk!

Something tells me that even a million cheering Germans swooning over Obama will not move a single vote in his direction.

Since when did respect among our allies translate to rock star adulation for an untested, inexperienced, risky candidate.

Let 3 million show up. Obama is unelectable.
