Obama's Soaring Popularity in Germany

[Simm2Dimm]

i love the one about the prison break :)

[MrMdmilitaria]

I can assure you Obama Mania in Germany has been smothered with a wet blanket.

[k3304]

why havent not one European country has had a black president ?

[Darusdei]

@k3304 because we're not america :p

[yonsoon]

[aceman008]

when are you people going to blow the dust off your bibles and take a look at what is prophesied about Germany (Assyria) in these end times.Germany itself isn't a bad group of people itself, but God always uses the gentiles "as a rod of His anger"to punish His children( Israel) for their disobedience.

[armatus99]

oh boy, another lost soul to the catholic sect. im glad i dont have one of those "bibles" liing around here. and u should get rid of yours too. enjoy your life, and dont waste time reading about prophecies, rather, jump into a plane and come to berlin :) the gentiles hereby invite you :)

JA JA WUNDERBAR!!!!

Vielen Dank!!!! WE did it!!!

More then 70 procent over the people in the Netherlands wants Obama as president!

[GreatReposter]

AUDACITY of PLAGIARISM ! Obama's Berlin speech is made of borrowed words from Berlin's mayor Reuter speech - the Berlin Airlift of 1948, adapted Reagan rhetoric, JFK, Bono &.. We have heard most of it BEFORE ! BHO is an addicted COPIER with... JUST WORDS. He presented himself in Europe as president-elect and who is now clearly in over his head. His Audacity and Hope are EMPTY. NO THANKS We'll vote McCain: Duty, Honor, Country. Search: Obama's Hidden Agends

[AlexandraLara]

Agreed. My family in Germany actually say many do not like Obama.They say change? What change? This is another media ploy. And 100,000 Germans??? They are not even a small percent of the millions of Germans who dislike Obama immensly. And do not be surprised that most of those so called Germans are immigrants from Muslim countries.

[mAstadourian]

89% of all Germans would have voted for Obama. This is a fact. And I think the street partys after the election and the smiling faces the next day proved you pretty wrong.

[nithard841]

your family in germany??? haha, now where are they from??? sachsen-anhalt??? grüße aus dem WAHREN DEUTSCHLAND, du kukluxklan-schwein!!!!!!

[germy992]

Fränkfourter Roundshau!!;-)

[DanielSahne]

Hi. Im german, i prefer McCain over Obama.

There goes the stereotype.

[rockoownz]

Hmm they didn't say all, Majority..

Wow there's even dumb asses in Germany..

That proves the stereotype of all Americans being stupid has also been debunked.

[DanielSahne]

I didnt refer to the video, but to the comments which said things like "socialist germans of course love obama, they can get him if they want blabla". These were obviously reactions to the stereotype of Obama-loving germans.

Why exactly am I a dumb ass?

[AlexandraLara]

You are not dumb, but smart. He proved the "Americans are ignorant, and stupid" theory on his own. God bless.

[AlexandraLara]

Wow, you know everyone intelligent can either talk like a politician, or say thing's where they do refrain from being stupid themselves. Don't worry you proved that American stupidity is still in tact. My family in Germany all supports McCain.And millions as well.100,000 Germans is still a very small number in comparison to the rest of the germans.

[AlexandraLara]

Many are very very intelligent people. So anyone who doesn't agree with you is stupid?? Really, ask yourself who is the stupid one? Most republican voters are actually doctors, and educated people. So who is stupid??Before you make iinsulting post's make sure you can actually talk like a true politician. Or just dont talk.

[klote2314]

republicans need to learn the term secularism

relligion should never be the way to pollitics

witch most republicans do want

[AlexandraLara]

I know my family in Germany says the same thing. This is media garbage, and lies. The only ones who feed, and live of this are the...you guessed it Obama supporters. God Bless.

[k3304]

O let us rejoice the infinate wisdom of The Chosen One, who thru his merciful heart has annointed a lowly serf in Joseph Biden. Thank you master for letting us know your VP pick !

[k3304]

Europe is where women dont shave their armpits and men shave their legs

[rockyracune]

I have a question about something that has bothered me for a long, long time: Why doesn't the Left ever protest when Russia invades a country (Hungary, Poland, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Georgia, etc.), or murders a dissident former spy with a radioactive substance, or suppresses press freedoms that are taken for granted in the West? Not a fucking peep from the Left! Oh, Outrage, where is your fire? Answer this, too: Would the world be better off without America? Hell, NO! Vote for McCain.

[megatwingo]

Our leftwing politicians protested agains all those things you´ve mentioned and I´m shure, your leftwing politicians did it, too.

Your question is....?

:)

[lees20022]

Obama has falling in further in polls today, a trend that has continued since his speech in front of 200,000 anti-American German fanatics in Berlin.

I predicted this happening when I heard of the plans for such an event. I laughed when his campaign said they wouldn't do the same in France because of known dislike of the French in America. In reality, America dislike for Germany is far broader. Gee, Obama truly is out of touch with his fellow citizens if he didn't see this coming.

[vivisecteur]

The U.S. don´t represent America. There is a trend towards socialism (Castro´s Brother, Chavez, Bolivar) on the continent that shows how foreign policies of the bush admintration fail and fail and fail...

It seems to me, that the so-called dislike is no more than ignorance. You ignored the needs of latino peoples and now socialism booms back. You ignored the concerns of european peoples and they left you alone. Your reaction: Dislike.

Hey wake up, thats the thought pattern of a toddler!!!!!!!!!

[lees20022]

Look you old friggin German, I do represent America and the "trend" is NOT towards socialism in Cuba, they're now embracing the free market slowly.

Latinos? I'm Rican asshole and I'm not ignored.

Don't pretend that Germany hasn't stopped immigration esp Turkish and African.

Your all a bunch of racist worried that someone is living on your tax money.

America is not fond of Germany( or France) that is a no brainer. And Obama is still failing in the polls since his big speech in Berlin.

[lees20022]

My friend was stationed in Germany and couldn't stand leaving the base.

He didn't like Germany in the least. Nor did I or my family and friends.

They were just being nice to you because that's what Americans do for visitors.

Unlike Germany and their overt rudeness and xenophobia.

[megatwingo]

So basically you said: The dozens of US citizens I met were lying to me with their friendlyness? They were smiling to me and were in reality full of hatred?

Is it that what you are trying to tell me about the USA? Why?

"Unlike Germany and their overt rudeness and xenophobia"

There was a survey made in the whole world. The question was: What is your favourite country?

Place Nr.1 arround the world: Germany.

Place Nr.20: USA.

Not too bad for such a horrible and xenophobic place, hmmm?

:)

[lees20022]

There goes your English comprehesion again...

"basically you said" What I said was clear. Americans do not care about Germany or it's magority views. I'm sure your gay friends love the public nudity and the potheads were thrilled by your lax laws on maryjane and others. That, however, isn't the maintream concern of Americans and certainly not a ringing endorsement of your current or historical poltics, economics or cultural racism, zenophobia and anti-American sentiments.

[megatwingo]

"your gay friends"

So you don´t tolerate gays?

That´s pretty fascist, isn´t it?

[lees20022]

lOl Do you not know what fascism is?

Hitler didn't like gays but that's not what made him a fascist...totalatarian rule did.

Anyway, I ok with the gays but the only reason they like Germany is full frontal male nudity in public baths. Gays love that! I didn't say I cared that they do.

[megatwingo]

So you don´t tolerate gays?

I think that´s pretty fascist.

[lees20022]

Obama plummeted farther in the polls today, a trend that has continued since this anti-American campaign speech in Germany.

Obama's "vastly more popular in Germany than John McCain" will be a label ,that if left to fester, that costs him the election.

He could help himself by getting rid of this idiot Susan Rice as his advisor. She is completely incompetant, not only for her views on foreign policies but for setting up these events in American hating countries. Clearly an out of touch elitist.

[megatwingo]

Yeah, lees. Obama and his anti-American capaign...

A popular candidate for the White House MUST make anti-American campaigns, right?

:-)))))))))

First all your Germany-Nazi / Obama-Hitler comparisons and now this.

Don´t drink and write, lees....

[lees20022]

Obama's popularity is falling fast in America where he is running for office and it started to happen the moment he gave this horrible speech in Berlin....Deal with it.

The more Germany is FOR Obama, the more Americans will not like him.

[megatwingo]

Like I said: First all your "cheering Germans=Nazis" and "Obama=Hitler" comparisons in the other threads here on YouTube....and now it´s the "horrible speech".

Yeah....because 200000 are cheering only to "horrible and anti-American" speeches, right?

Mannometer. Yawn. Double-Yawn.

Lees, are you writing directly from the Kindergarten-sandpit? Or are those really the "argumentations" the US conservatives have in store in this political struggle? :)

[lees20022]

Cheering uneducated socialist anti-American anti-Capitalism, anti-immigration Germans are exactly the definition of Nazis.

Again, the croud in Berlin only cheered when Obama was critizing America, they feel silent when he informed them they would have to do more in the fight against terrorism.

The images of this priceless and speaks directly to why socialism doesn't work. It creates a sense of entitlement to everything without ever having to work for it.

Eurotrash values will never succeed

[megatwingo]

"Cheering uneducated socialist anti-American anti-Capitalism, anti-immigration Germans are exactly the definition of Nazis"

Dear user lees. You have an arrow stuck into your head. Please remove it. Thanks in advance.

:)

[megatwingo]

"the croud in Berlin only cheered when Obama was critizing America"

They cheered when he talked about partnership, peace etc.

His critics at the USA was very very low key. Is your country now a dictatorship? Is the critics of a democratical politician forbidden now? BTW: We shot all the persons who dared not to cheer for EVERY SINGLE point of the Obama speech.

For two reasons: For cheering first too much (and beeing therefore Nazis) AND for cheering not for every point of this speech.

:)

[lees20022]

The persoanl attacks do not take away from my analysis.

1- Germany is very anti-American and has been since WWI

2-The video of Obama's speech clearly shows that they only were energized when he critized America.

3-Obama has fallen in the polls drastically beginning the day after this speech.

4- America,as a whole, doesn't think about Germany much, but when it does, it is not favorable by any definition.

[megatwingo]

1) Germany isn´t anti American. It´s anti US-conservatives.

2)The video of Obama´s speech clearly shows that they cheered for many different points of the speech.

3)Obama´s popularity has risen in the polls after he gave an evidence for his international politics endowments.

4)America loves Germany. Especially because half of it´s citizens have German roots.

I´ve experienced that myself during my USA trip on a Harley.

[megatwingo]

Many US citizens spoke some German words to me during my US-Harley-trip...because they were stationed in Germany during their Army time.

They loved Germany. I didn´t heard one critical word about Germany and the Germans.

The opposite is true: They loved Germany.

[trjill]

PLAGIARIZER AND LIAR!!

Being the son of a poor Kenyan goat-herder PLAYS much better than being the son of a highly placed Arab-African who operated at the top of the Kenyan government following his education at Columbia. You see, even the way he portrays his father is a LIE.

ON his father's side, he is descended from Arab slave traders. They operated under an extended grant from Queen Victoria.

Why Not Let Barrock Huessien Run For Office In Germany??And Let HIllary Run The USA..

[grafiks210]

k3304--"blame the Democrats for letting Criminal Bush get away with it" Sad how you would support a man that "got away" with anything. The Republican 'brand' is old news like you claim the Constitution to be. True patriots who care about America are going to regain control of this country once again. Which will bring American prosperity and wealth which the Republicans will once again come in and KILL. Republicans are really good at spending budgets and killing troops.

[grafiks210]

k3304....haha Hillary on the board of Wal-Mart...Al Gore flying on planes is evil?? But shredding the Constition while claiming the Presidency grants you Supreme Power at a time of war that you illegally sold to the world to make the VERY companies you DENIED you would help get rich do just that, isn't EVIL? Oh yeah. The Democrats want to change peoples light bulbs and Republicans cry "fascists". Bush strips us of our dignity and liberties while spying on his own and they yawn.

[k3304]

grafiks, the constitution is nothing more than a piece of paper that needs to be updated in today's world. I dont really care about a terrorist's rights. Hey, blame the democrats for letting Bush get away with all that.

[grafiks210]

The WHOLE World is on to the Evil Republican ways. Every country now knows that when they see idiotic politicians hungry for war and short on facts....it's a Republican!! They know that when they burned American flags they were really burning Republican Policies. America is beautiful. Republicans are the crappy stains you see sometimes on Americas image. America and The World is proud to stand behind a thinking Democrat like Obama. Bush and McCain = 0 true allies.

[k3304]

grafiks, Ted Kennedy drunkenly kills an intern, Al Gore flys on private jets, Hillary on the board of Wal Mart, Pelosi owns a non-union winery, Byrd KKK grand dragon, and you call republicans evil ??

[k3304]

They let Bush steal 2 elections !! Whats up with that ? Are the democrats that weak ?

[USVeterans]

What do you know? Fox News IS Fair and Balanced, AND Obama has socialistic followers. Awesome video. McCain is going up in the polls.

[aceman008]

Europe (really the Germans)hates America because they had prevented the Germans from winning WW1 & WWII (by being industrious) thus preventing them from having full dominance of Europe and the world.This is why the Germans are coming back one more time WWIII(4th Reich) & the first persons they are gonna attack is America & Britain.(See "Holy" Roman Empire).Sources:my Bible, Secular history & the Trumpet Magazine.

[geroldfirl]

Wow aceman, you are one paranoid weirdo.

[technogicly]

yo fuck you. im German-American, and i love it here. my great grandparents where so proud when they came here. Germans DO NOT hate america. Sure, there probably are some germans that hate America, but those are some hardcore Nazi's.And if you think were gonna be the ones in WWIII(if it even happens) your wrong, unless us americans start having our own genocide.( which aint gonna happen.), or Germany does extremely stupid(again not going to happen). So back of the germans.

[geroldfirl]

Ha ha poor tommy.

Even al-Maliki, who owes his position as prime minister of Iraq to bush, supports Obama.

Want some cheese with that whine?

[sean3459]

Yeah we are whatever you call us. we are people in general. you sad piz of shit

[marcaGeronis]

Sadly, people in general, and Germans in particular, have a long, sad history of supporting messianic figures, megalomaniacs, and charlatans, like Obama who shout empty slogans, mantras, and take credit for everything good in the world. Obama talks about ending tribal violence-yet his cousin and confidant Odinga started ethnic violence when he lost his Kenyan election. He says he is proud of America but declared himself a "citizen of the world" and removed the US flag from his airplane. Scary.

[Velayasha]

marcaGeronis Stop the smears, will ya? Obama's cousin, whom he barely even knows, has nothing at all to do with Obama as a person. Right wingers bring this up to "remind" Americans that Obama has foreign roots [i.e. he's not one of us]. The fact is that Obama IS an American. He was raised here and he loves this country. You haters are just playing dirty politics as usual.

[marcaGeronis]

Obama visited Kenya, and his cousin/confidant Odigna, many times. Obama is, likely, an American but it is odd that he refuses to release an OFFICIAL birth certificate and that Obama was ANGRY that someone at the State Dept snooped on his passport activity (what trips&visas was he afraid of?)?

[geroldfirl]

Don't be scared, marca. It's going to be OK. Obama is going to be the best president we've had in a long, long time. You'll vote for him for his second term.

[k3304]

geroldfirl, Europe wants a weaker USA, thats why they like Obama

[geroldfirl]

Not at all k3, Europe wants the US to be a leader, the world has been adrift since Bush took his hand off the wheel and his eyes off the prize. Bush abdicated our role as world leader, he went AWOL again, and the whole world has suffered as a result.

Obama told Europe that America is ready to lead again, but Europe will have to pull their weight too, and they loved hearing it because it's true.

[k3304]

geroldfirl, The USA was bitch slapped on 911 and responded. See, Europe doesnt want the USA to do that. They want us to take our licks because they think (we deserve it) The USA will not be bitch slapped again

[geroldfirl]

"Bitch-slapped" eh, k33? You feel like you were emasculated by 911? I didn't realize people actually took that freudian schtick so seriously. Sorry to hear that.

Man up, sonny. They don't call it Realpolitik for nothing. The stakes of this game are high, which is why some of the players take the way of corruption: fraud and violence.

Both Bush and bin Laden took that path. A lot of gullible fools followed them right over the edge. A lot of innocent people died as a result. We're changing that.

[itsbizbuz]

Bush made America weaker by his misleading and we hated these 8 years of Bushism precisely because we saw a weak and incompetent ruler of the world being humiliated by a bunch of terrorists with middle age weapons.

[k3304]

itsbizbuz, not true. It's better than Obama's crazy zealot pastors running the US government. Obama wants to SHIFT US troops to Afgan. I thought everybody wanted America out of everybody's business !!

[k3304]

itsbizbuz, the Canadians and Euros want a weaker USA. Thats why you Euro wussies want Obama. You might be disappointed again in November. He's not running for president of France. I predict a McCain win.

[itsbizbuz]

Whatever your nextpresident it's your country we will accept the result of a democratic election, but if you vote Mc Cain I will mock republicans like I did it the last 8 years, the american flag will continue to burn in England, you will continue to be abandonned by your so called allies, and be slapped in the mideast we will only be sorry for liberals and democrats that's all.

[k3304]

itsbizbuz, we dont care what you do. It's our election and you can have your muslim subway bombings over there. Do you think they will suddenly go away with Obama ?

[itsbizbuz]

No I'm notnaive terrrism will not get away in only a few years, but with Mc Cain I think it will be worsebecause of strategic mistakes. Iraq was one of these strategic mistakes that allowed al qaeda to recruit more to gain in popularity and conquer newterritories to install their new boot camps.

[k3304]

itsbizbuz, Saddam swinging on a rope is not a bad thing, you know

[itsbizbuz]

saddam arrested is a good thing, Iraq borders wide open and holy wars unleashed are not.

[vivisecteur]

yore nuts! europe wants a strong and even more important a trustable partner. did mccain offer real dialogue? thats what we want.

[k3304]

vivsecteur, Obama isnt running for president of Germany. I think the last time a candidate was this popular in Germany was that paperhanger guy in the 1930's

[vivisecteur]

k3304: thats not the point. every nation had its tragedies. we r talking about future world politics. please understand, that germany truly accepts that the U.S. have a, say, strategic leadership.

but GOOD leadership over the so-called free world (4 Billion People) needs more justification than only 50 million U.S. votes and armed forces. u can´t expect obedience if u don´t meet foreign demands. u try, but actually u r facing the consequences of 7 years of that ignorance: no one trusts u!

[k3304]

vivisecteur, well that chickenhawk Obama wants to SHIFT troops from Iraq to Afgan. That doesnt sound like a withdrawl to me.

We wont tell you to vote for Merkle if you dont tell us to vote for Barack.

[vivisecteur]

i dont want a withdrawal from iraq myself. i find it very ambitious to say you could end the war in only 16 months. and for shure you will pay for that siege a long long time. but mccains perspective, of even expanding war for the next 100 years, uhm, thats just insane. the US are brokedown

i would accept your opinion on who would be an appropriate leader for germany if you were interestetd in. thats what we´re about. either we respect bilateral interests or we negelect it. manum manum lavat.

[k3304]

vivisecteur, Chickenhawk Barack Obama wants to SHIFT troops from Iraq to Afganistan

now you Germans can enlist with pride !!!!

[vivisecteur]

nationalism is a politcal idea of the early 19th century. you should not fall back into believe patterns that allready caused two terrible world wars.

obamas idea of an interdependent community of equal righted peoples is at least try to respond democratically to the fact, that capitalism and corruption allready have globalized.

[marcaGeronis]

actually the problems that caused the wars were primarily due to "internationalism", not nationalism. Trade inbalances, harsh treaties, royal intriques, colonialism, banking&currency manipulation, unfair trade treaties, fiat money, etc. As power gets absolute and aggrandises the threat is for MORE corruption because there is less oversight. Your vote matters NOTHING at the UN,EU,WTO,IMF,NATO,etc. Your vote matters more at a local level, so there is more chance for control/democracy.

[vivisecteur]

inter-nationalism explicitly means that politics is only about nations nations.

globalisation says, that human kind shares one world, regardless of their individual origins.

and what you say about a decentralized democracy: thats definitely true, the smaller the system, the easier it is to be undestood and influenced.

still there is a world where there happens a LOT of shit. somebody has to deal with that.

[marcaGeronis]

if nations, banks, and individuals didn't mess with OTHER people&nations the SH*T in the world might be able to be dealt with. Why should Europeans, or America, presume to know the "solutions" for everyone around the world? Maybe if we left other countries alone things would be better off- at least in the long term. Unless a country/people DIRECTLY attack our countries we should leave them alone, except for REAL fair trading,travel,etc.

[vivisecteur]

truly, thats also my opinion. REAL fair trade is what we all need. (Maybe that's that solution you´re talkin about)

but its too optimistic to say that doing nothing will put things right. kapitalistic trade is not fair. it accumulates wealth instead of spreading it. communistic trade is also bad, it denies man´s free will. no system means anarchy and favours the above.

so, we need somebody as a fair ruler. and thats the one BIG problem, since platon wrote his politeia.

[danielopusone]

Wow... I've never heard the US put in its place with such articulate and well-thought-out verbage. Were did your parents buy your education? A Marxist think-tank? What a lovely group of koolaid drinking Marxist love'n Dr. J.P. Goebbels wannabes. Love and Hugs from a U.S. citizen :-)

[TWI08]

A person's education is a personal accomplishment regardless of where they earn it although it's just like an American to try and take credit even for another person's education.

[TWI08]

Not that a second rate American education is any payment for the lives and nations you imperialist terrorists destroy. Besides which given Americans have a world wide rep for being the stupidest people on earth you should probably downplay any quality your education system might have since it just makes how ignorant you are that much more embarrassing.

[TWI08]

What a son of a bitch he talks of extremism as if it were the root of the worlds problems. Why doesn't he talk of imperialism and US tyranny of the world which is the real problem of humanity?

[TWI08]

You all are stupid if you think this man will change anything. In the US the president is a joke he is owned and controlled by secret powers. He will further expand US imperialist goals in the ME further terrorize Muslims then the American filth can cry about "terrorism' as if it were anything more than a struggle for freedom from the brutal savagery of western thieves.

[danielopusone]

You ply your words like bubblegum, throwing it at anyone that walks by hoping your boogie-man hate-speech sticks. It sounds like you know EVERYTHING... perhaps you should be running for emperor instead of Obama.

[zeB1b3r]

if you see alot peaople in berlin cheering for obama tomorrow, then this is not the reality in germany the most of them are mabe payd from obama to cheer.

and germany a socialist country ? good joke

they are mabe facist country but not socialist lol

[franznopper]

payd for cheering? why t.f. didn´t anybody tell me!!! no, truly, thats bullsh.. ; germans desperately waited for one like obama. they need somebody to be inspired by. you know angela merkel? compared to obama, she´s an overdose of valium. spd-leader kurt beck is even worse. and all those constant economic fears and threats make people mad. burnout-symptoms are epidemic.

obama simply gives a chance to be hopeful.

and the fascist-socialist thing: true.

What blowjob article did you get that crap from? lol

[ThomasRenneis]

zeB1b3r....you obviously have mistaken Obama with your So Called "President/Dictator" Mugabe.

[danielopusone]

This isn't new; Europeans have fallen for glorified orators before; we need not mention any names. GW has not flip-flopped on Iraq; GW has stayed steady; as has McCain. Obama has been all over the place with no accountability or responsibility; his position on Iraq has been to lose and pull out.

Obama is the "Messiah?" Somebody tell us: Has Obama found Bin Laden yet? Did he create peace in the Middle East yet? In Denver will he turn water into wine, walk on water, AND give an acceptance speech?

[TWI08]

it has already been shown that Americans lied to invade Iraq and are really nothing more than imperialist terrorists invading sovereign nations. Now you people have the sick twisted nerve to insist on staying where you're not wanted killing Iraqis so you can delude yourself into believing you're saving face? you are a nation of sick barbarians, genocidal savages. You talk of winning as if it were even possible. What do you think you will win?

[franznopper]

actually, germany is run by a coalition of Conservatives, the "Volksparteien"

you think of germany as a "socialist country", just because everybody enjoys free education, health care and public welfare; in other words you call Germans "Socialists" because the government effectively protects its people from desease, poverty, commercial exploitation and war.

So, your "socialism" really means the best deal for the vast majority. But hey, why should Americans keep on suffering from Rebulicanism?

[armatus99]

agreed, but after decades of propaganda from the republicans that the state cant do anything right, i dont blame him.hes just a product of his time. and since americans usually dont leave their country(because its the greatest in the wooorld blablabla) they cant understand that sometimes, the state is better then privat companies.

[skwashdis]

Germany is a socialist country, so of course you want a socialist as President of the USA. Go figure....

I agree Bush is an idiot and needs to go. The ivasion of Iraq is not an illegal war. It was approved by the U.N. However, Iraq's gov't is not going to agree to the "Iraq Oil Law". They want the US to draw up a plan for future troop withdrawals. The U.N. resolution expires Dec 31st 2008. I say withdraw and let them have their civil war between the Shiite, Sunni's and Kurds.

FYI: Germany is a federal parliamentary republic (not unlike the US). However, in contrast to the US, it is a social market economy, which is why healthcare, education, etc., are all free.

Germans don't vote :)

I see The Brandenburg Gate has been nixed by OBAMBI.... he's looking for another spot. Perhaps he could give his speech at Hitler's Outpost... that would be more apropo for O'Bambi :)

Probably wanted Nuremburg instead. Since he's called for a national security civilian force here (Obama youth), I see the affinity. Next your children and neighbors can report if your lights are on too long, your thermostat is at 72 degrees, you have steak on your grill outside, and you drove over 55. Stalin, Lenin, Hitler and Mao would be proud. Also more troops. No civ. guns or missles though. I see Waco, Elian, etc. The left hasn't figured it out after yelling re: Bush, spying, dictator.

Ron Paul was by far the best candidate!!!

Well, but rather Obama than McCain!

[Garabsare]

WHO the heck is this Ron Paul? If he was the best in any thing, people will have voted for him.. hein?

GERMANY FOR OBAMA!

THE WORLD FOR OBAMA!

Oh, yes, and...

UNITED STATES FOR OBAMA!

[Deloreanfan1981]

The key word here is, he is popular in Germany...so what! Germany can't vote in this election anyway.

There are many Germans looking forward to Obama being President and bringing back that America which JFK stood for. Which means today for example no illegal war, no torture and the start of an enviromental policy which consists of more than words but helps the suffering planet.

Okay Felix, ich versteh was du meinst, aber beschäftige dich mal mit Kennedys Präsidentschaft außerhalb von "Ich bin ein Berliner"

Die Kuba Krise, die Einmischung und den Sturz demokratisch gewählter Regierungen in Südamerika und Asien, den Beginn des Vietnam Krieges.

JFK war alles andere als der strahlende Saubermann.

Trotz alledem, Obama for 2008! :-)

Deine Ergänzungen sind (leider) ganz richtig & wichtig.
