The International Impact of Barack Obama

Speech by John-E. Matip Eichler, Berlin 05-29-2008 (in Collaboration with Prof. Donald M. Griffith; broadcasted on German Television -- The Collegium, Forum & Television Program Berlin, Germany)
YES, WE CAN.
How is it possible that these simple words can reach out to so many people?
What vision does this statement carry?
In the following I would like to address these questions, as well as the importance of the "Phenomenon Barack Obama" from a global perspective.

are you serious, the media does not want obama. the reason you hear so much about him is because he is smart, tactful he knows how to be victorious. his campaign is so strong

It's great that most people want to pay attention to our election around the world. I'm really hopeful that we can regain our standing in the world. Regardless of whom one supports Sen. Obama or Sen McCain, we all want the best for our country.

But finally you could copy a comment that was hidden :-)

That is where you get it wrong. Obama can sell and that is what the media are interested in.

I honestly don't get why Obama is being treated like a rock star on a world tour. I suppose the media is SO incredibly biased that they are using everything in their power to promote their liberal candidate.

The American people want a President for a leader...not a media darling.
