Obama Berlin speech opening band

[Moraud5386]

this is USA effect ... look at the crowd

if Angela Merchel makes a speech anywhere in USA, would there be any crowd?

[FastingOnClowns]

"The Nazi Party’s use of torchlight parades, brass bands, massed choirs, and similar techniques caught the imagination of many voters, particularly young people."

Fourth point: What kind of picture do Americans have about Germans ??

A bunch of beer drinking idiots hanging around on beer festivals all day ??

flyingmango-

Do you remember that this was in Germany? And who in the H*** would be interested like they are PORTRAYING? They were at a music festival! They could care less about Obama and so could I, so save your telling me not to talk about what I do not know. Because YOU do not know what I know - I could blow your mind. Get a clue. Ignorance is not bliss. Obama is a pawn.

[illmagnified]

I agree with you readrevelations- Obama is the biggest fraud in history, a puppet for the elitest, and a liar to the people. Not only on his foreign policies- but on transparency as well. Also whats this with him spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on legalities over his Birth Certificate, just show the actual document, not a Proof of Birth Certificate which is 2 completely different things, also why is he hiding his college and medical transcripts..CUZ HES NOT AN AMERICAN CITIZEN!

I appreciate your reply. I agree with you as well. I wonder if the Germans see him as such a super star now? With his hypnotic b.s. speeches... Too bad that so many people had so much faith and HOPE that he would CHANGE things for the better! The upcoming G20 conference should be interesting...

@readrevelations :

1. point: Its not Americans' beer when Germans listen to an Obama speech. In fact chancelor Merkel did not allow Obama to speak in front of the Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburger Gate) where Kennedy had his historical speech.

Second point: Bush behaved like an idiot. No wonder people all around the world were looking for a change.

Third point: By now people in Germany are much more critical to Obama.

[readrevelations]

So... this is why Obama even had a crowd - they were watching some bands and having some brewskis! They made it appear that Germans love Obama. They love music and beer!!! Right on!

Use your brain, vote McCain!!!

[FlyingMango94]

I can assure you, nobody came there because of the beer and bands. i really don't think that people who are interested in what obama has to say are the kind of people who'd hang around on beer festivals all day.

Use your brain, don't write some mindless crap about something you don't know anything about

[Michthemitch]

Obama '08 !!!!!!!!!!!!

[lees20022]

Obama

Dope and Deranged

OH EAT!

[21122545]

Why anyone who does not drink the koolaid and follow lockstep blindlessly behind OBAMA labeled a racist? I don't know what propaganda the Obama camp is feeding you about John McCains time spent in the Hanoi Hilton but consider the source. If you still consider me a racist than so be it, but I will never vote for your leader... Obama.

[RepublicanforObama08]

Obama for PRESIDENT

OBAMA '08

[rustyan10]

RESPECT!

OBAMA '08

FREE BRATS... FREE BEER... FREE ROCK CONCERT...and oh by the way a chance to hear an arrogant egotistical political puppet talk, sounds like a good way to waste a day. I hear him speak of dreams, hope, and the way things should be but not on the plans on how he hopes to accomplish what he preaches. He's lied about his family's war hero uncle. He flip/flops on every issue depending on which way the political winds are blowing. He hasn't accomplished anything as Senator. He won't get my VOTE!!!!

[pcastine]

"Free Beer" -- a pure lie. Just which concession at the Victory Column was offering free beer? I can assure you that refreshments were not free.

"Free Rock Concert" -- also a lie. There were two filler acts by a local band and a reggae performer. Security gates opened three hours before the speech, and they needed that much time to get the crowds through security. If people supposedly came for the "concert", how come nobody left when the music was over?

[gantock]

Do you have any favorite Dylan songs?

I've got probably 30 Dylan songs on my iPod. I think I have the entire Blood on the Tracks album on there. Actually, one of my favorites during the political season is "Maggie's Farm." It speaks to me as I listen to some of the political rhetoric.

FROM THE " ROLLING STONE " INTERVIEW .....

( well, BLOOD ON THE TRACKS is really almost Dylan´s finest album, isnt, it? Let´s hope Obama knows Dylan´s song MAN OF PEACE...and CONSIDERS that, too ...

[dumbface2]

too bad the media didnt report at all on the german superstar rock band opening up for him and the free brats and beer

[martintollen]

What superstar rock band? Was there free brats and beer?? Why did I then have to pay for my???

[BLITZ4209mmKuSHSmoKe]

LOL I KNOW HUH, HOW ODD

[incognita1989]

HE is a puppet for the Elite. Bush has prepared the way for him to be the new President and leader of the New World Order. HE is just another Bush in disguise who will unite all nations together. Ecumenism is next. THE NEW WORLD ORDER IS HERE. THINGS WILL NOT GET BETTER.

[HappyCosima]

I was there, and can assure you that no one came primarily to listen to the bands. People came to hear Barack Obama speak, and the bands were there to entertain in the waiting period. The venue is such that you had to be there hours in advance if you wanted to get a glimpse of Barack Obama. I came relatively late, only saw him on the video screen, and didn't even realize that the music was live.

[Caffey85]

I wonder how many would have shown up without the Bands. . . .Obama must not have wanted to risk it.

Same as here in the U.S. -- opens with a band to draw in the crowds, then basks in the glory. What a scam!

[Bobo2029]

you're talking shit noone wants to see stupid bands...

probably they made some ppl run away but nothing more
