You mean Merkel didn’t give her subjects the day off to attend?

If I had a band, I’d get a permit to play.

I’d make it a rock festival. Everybody would get drunk, and the fun would ensue when Little Barry takes the stage.

Unfortunately- it looks otherwise. I just saw a shot on FOX- it looks like an enormous crowd. We’ll see what the estimate is.

It’s just bizarre, isn’t it? We’ve not had a candidate like this in our country- ever.

Teleprompter announcement. The Messiah has spoken.


From another thread...
from The Daily Show this morning:

Jon Stewart: Obama was off to Israel, where he made a quick stop at the manger in Bethlehem where he was born.

Looks to be shortly before sundown.

Wasn’t there another famous orator in Germany who liked to give speeches at sundown?

There’s a reason WE don’t start speeches with ‘Zeig Heil’!
Goebbels started the salute at the Victory Column....

‘It won’t be wonkish’ is code for ‘I don’t know my rear end from a hole in the ground’.

He will speak of America’s debt to Europe for its values and ideals and about how, today, we need to reach back to Europe for guidance and direction. He will speak of a partnership and the need for consultation and consensus. He will condemn unilateral action and pledge to work with our good friends in confronting the challenges of our times.

He will almost certainly say nothing of substance but he will sound great doing it.
