Obama wows the Germans

Berlin officials said it was the largest crowd in Berlin History that came out to the historic Victory Column in Tiergarten to see and hear Obama's speach. They estimated the crowd at 200,000 while the German Embassy in the United States estimated the number as high as a half-million. On this side of the pond, folks are using McCains speaches as a laugh of the day or as a sedative to put them to sleep at night. I have to admit, Obama is much easier on the eyes as well. I told Steve that this reaction to his trip in Europe makes me think of the way Eva Perone was greeted when she went abroad in the movie EVITA. As his opposition laughs nervously back here saying it doesn't bother them at all, you know they have to be jealous as hell.
