All cable networks will cover the speech, live.

OMG. I totally forgot that SRV played on this song!

[tumblindice]

Heil .... myself!

[tiredoflaundry]

That is a big crowd! Are there that many unemployed in Berlin???? ;0)

[onemiddleamerican]

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

Maybe the Obama campaign will be handing out armbands and torches to his Euro-trash followers?

[retrokitten]

I want to see more drunk dancing. The students sitting on a curb are boring.

There must be a Republican on vacation in Berlin.

Rush just reported that a new Fox poll has Barry and McCain virtually tied. That a gaffe can be worth 6 points. Rush is saying the constant Barry coverage is as presumptuous as can be...he hopes they keep it up.

Whole album. Bowie fired him after he asked to be paid more than the scale he was getting.

[retrokitten]

LOL!!!

This morning the number floated was a million. As in Million Man March...

This guy is driving people off with his overdone BS. Why in the he** would anyone care how many Germans show up at his speech? They have no say now, or ever if I can help it, in our election process and this can only make him look like the pompous windbag he really is.

This. Is. Sweeeeeet. I've been listening to some of the big O's prior speeches in anticipation! I like his old stuff but the new stuff is good. I like how he can always change things up. It's all good. I am so psyched. Anybody seen my Kools?

[Miss Didi]

Thanks for the live report...I cannot watch another second of the Jerk Messiah.

[retrokitten]

So stupid, but better for SRV (and us) in the long run.

The crowd shots are funny. Most of them don’t even look old enough to vote in any election.

They were chanting a few minutes ago. You know how they love to chant.
