Berlin Speech: 200,000 for Obama in 2008; Only 6,000 Today [“a brutal sobering up”.....]

Weekly Standard ^

[Sub-Driver]

Miracles?

Zu viel Bier.......

[mountainlion]

That is really tough on an egomaniac.

[Roccus]

No free rock concert or beer this time, eh?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"Ich bin ein Muselmann."

[rightwingextremist1776]

Wow...didn’t think that there was that many commies left in Germany.

[Da Coyote]

Wow, the Germans have finally figured out what we knew...the Obamaloon is a dork.

He is sludge.

He is waste.

He is sewage.

When you flush him, he floats back.

[txrefugee]

He should have thrown in a few lines from those stem-winding Hitler speeches that went over so well in the late ‘30s. This was really a mediocre performance.

[schm0e]

the man who launched his campaign for the American presidency in Hitler’s motherland...I never really got that. Was an homage to Hitler, or was it intended as some sort of petty affront to the Pope?

[smokingfrog]

I guess not.

[newfreep]

Any specific comments?

[windcliff]

Ralf has an interesting last name.

[Iron Munro]

The Won just loves the sound of his own voice spewing meaning less dribble.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I bet at least half of those will be internet freedom protestors from the Pirate Party.

[Fiji Hill]

From the way he said, Ich bin ein Berliner, it's obvious that Obama never studied German. Had he taken a class or two in German from Dr. Erich Frei or Dr. Virginia Sease when he was a student at Occidental College, he would have said it right.

This is the same guy who complained about Americans abroad who don't bother to learn foreign languages.

[glyptol]

What’s the difference between an empty suit and an empty chair? Four legs good, two legs bad.
With apologies to Orwell.

Berlin Speech: 200,000 for Obama in 2008; Only 6,000 Today [“a brutal sobering up”.....]

Germans have lived under the Nazis, and commies, so they've heard all the lies before.

[Rummyfan]

Berlin Speech: 200,000 for Obama in 2008; Only 6,000 Today

Only 6K? That's practically casual passers-by in Berlin.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Ya, I noticed his last name too. Maybe that word doesn’t have the same meaning in German that it does in English???

[Rummyfan]

he was cheered on by 200,000 Germans eager to see the back of George W. Bush and, as one member of that crowd recalled Tuesday, “full of wholly unrealistic expectations of what kind of miracles Obama could work.”

Yes, well, the Germans have a history of following charismatic demagogues.

<....”No free rock concert or beer this time, eh?”....>

Exactly....no concert to crash as he did in 08, while the press ran it as if he attracted the crowds.
