Check out these headlines - what a laugh! - the Germans are gloating that America will finally meet its end - our Stalingrad, our Normandy - America will be beaten down to its knees by putting all its hopes in Chauncey Gardiner better known as Barack Obama, a man who came from obscurity, a man whose policies are as vague as his motto of "change". The Germans are savoring our defeat. They have waited a good long time and now they see their fond dreams materialize before their very eyes in Berlin, no less. All hail Barack Obama, Citizen of the World, Banker's Grandson, President in Waiting. Headlines from Der Spiegel: "People of the World, Look at Me" "No. 44 Has Spoken" "'A Strong and Gutsy Message'" " Obama in Berlin: Huge Crowds Left with Mixed Feelings"

Check out these German magazine/newspaper covers: www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-33622.html Obama the superstar: The current edition of DER SPIEGEL magazine covers the phenomenon of the star politician -- something Germans so far have been unfamiliar with. www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-33622-3.html "Come Back to Earth," the German daily newspaper Die Tageszeitung demands. www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-33622-5.html Weekly magazine Stern asks this week if Obama is the redeemer -- or simply a seducer?
Huge Crowds Left with Mixed Feelings By Mark Waffel and Josh Ward Some cut and paste: Expectations were sky-high for the speech US presidential candidate Barack Obama delivered in Berlin Thursday evening. Enormous crowds welcomed what the senator had to say, but not everyone was convinced by his delivery. Patricia Gusovius, 48, of Berlin, brought her 5-year-old daughter Hanan to the speech particularly because of Obama's background. "I'm here because my daughter has an Egyptian father and I'm German," Gusovius told SPIEGEL ONLINE. "She can see that Obama is a mix, like her. Mixed race families have a hard time in Western culture, and he can be her role model." After excitedly awaiting her turn to speak, Hanan added: "We spent a whole day at school learning about him." Reactions to the almost 30-minute speech hit both extremes. "It was excellent, not good, but excellent," said Henry Aikins, 63, a pensioner from Berlin, though originally from Ghana. "It was good he didn't just talk about America, but Africa and other continents as well. … He really moved me in my heart." Anton Kliegl, however, a 50-year-old managing consultant from Regensburg, didn't see things that way. "In general I have to say I was a bit disappointed," Kliegl said. "The coverage of the primaries created this impression that he was an amazing speaker who could carry away his audience. He didn't do that tonight. I really expected more."
They have a hard time anywhere you dunce! Jesus she's pathetic. But there are worse choices she could have made. And is he really the father or just the sperm provider?
