Furthermore Fordman, Yes, I am positive they came for him. There where many in the crowd carrying Obama signs and chanting his name. I think Germans care a wee bit more about politics than most Americans do.

And care to cite the bold claim that he snubbed troops in Germany like that? But I guess it doesn’t matter, because I have information to refute it anyway. http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/snubbing_wounded_troops.html

Want to assert he snubbed troops in The Middle East too? Here’s http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/print_did_obama_snub_us_troops_in_afghanistan.html

Fighting ignorance with information can be so invigorating!

Crowds in Germany?? Did you know that there was a concert before and after his speech with free food and beer? You sure it was for him that the crowds came?

The man is a legend….only in his mind and the press.

I saw him speaking next to Sarkozy at a press conference where he talked very slowly that “a trip like this” and I thought what trip like what? confirmed him in those foreign policy directions that he had been considering taking prior to the trip – no epiphanies or change of heart here. I thought it sounded a bit pompous. God forbid he show a shade of uncertainty.

I think for his sake he should deflect some attention from himself, he risks looking all knowing, before it blows up in his face – and point it in the direction of people he will depend upon to get it right if elected.
