Obama is scheduled to speak in Berlin at the Victory Column sometime between 1 and 1:30 Eastern.

All cable networks will cover the speech, live.

It disgusts me that this cretin has been invited to my country.

Our newspapers have gone all weak at the knees for this fraud.

He is campaigning to be President of the world.

If the McCain camp had any sense they’d be portraying this very much as Obama looking to appease the rest of the world first, which could have been nicely contrasted in a devastating attack with McCain ‘trying’ to deal with issues in America and putting America first.

Yet another god damn opportunity missed. Honest to God, we all knew McCain was a weak candidate for so many reasons, but its as if they’re bending over and letting Obama walk over their back to the White House.

As a scared Euro, please America prevent this from happening....

Obama went overseas to promise the “people of the world” that he would end the divide between rich and poor nations, and said, “people of the world, this is our moment, this is our time.”

Obama is running for a hostile takeover of the US on behalf of the anti-American international community. His plan is quite plainly to rape and pillage America’s wealth, and redistribute it to the rest of the world. His speech was brazenly candid about this.

He has already put forth this very plan in the S.2433 Global Poverty Act of 2007, which he authored in the Senate.

I do believe US taxpayers are paying for this ridiculous campaign spectacle.

Nah...

He didn't want to be limited with that SMALL amount of money...

[Elsie]

It would be a hoot if someone in the press corps just come straight out and ask him: “Mr.Obama, the world wants to know. Are you the antichrist?”

No; but ELSIE just got his number!

“I think the world is keenly interested in this election, and I think they’re hungry for a sense of where America is going,” he said.

This rock star status greeting Obama really needs to be analyzed for what it is.  Most people in the United States don't know who Barack Obama is yet, therefore, I have no double the Germans haven't a clue who he is.

One also needs to realize that in Germany, David Hasselhoff is a "rock star".....

In France; Jerry Lewis is almost a GOD.

i could swear i’ve heard it in a presidential speech. Know of any presidents using “United States” instead of “Athenian...nor Greek” in a highly publicized speeh?

[keepitreal]

I’ll poke around a bit and see if I can come up with something for you.
