Obamanation thinks he's president already, so much for voting!

Ah yes, the man who would be king. Not too busy to speak at A. Hitler's Victory Statue, but too busy to visit with wounded American troops. But hey, if you don't study hard, and apply yourself, you end up in Iraq, right Senator? Sarcasm now turned off.

And we are very glad sarcasm is turned off. Someone has to repair relations w our old allies! Bush has done a fantastic job of alienating most of the rest of the world. I know I find it much easier to cooperate w neighbors than to p--s them off. You don't talk, nothing gets done. We can't do it alone. Case in point = the "Coalition of the Willing"! What a joke. We need a real coalition in Afghanistan against the true enemy/bin Laden & the Taliban. You remember bin Laden, don'tcha? The Bush family friend who did attack on 9/11.

However, look at the man with clear vision. He is speaking as if he is accepting the Presedency. He is nothing but an arrogant fool. I believe this will bite him hard and open peoples eyes.

ABC news interviewed a German dude in the crowd
that called him ' my new Messiah'.
Yikes!!!!!!!!!! Was this a thought
he spoke in English that was lost in translation?

let's see..Obama speaks to a cheering crowd of 200,000 peole in Germany and McCain speaks to a crowd of 20 seniors in a German eatery.
Obama showed he can lead this country in world affairs.
Obama will be the next president.

Let's see... Obama speaks to a cheering crowd, after a free concert for the people (the press is not reporting that), which makes for a great photo op. It is good to see that he got his passport stamped. McCain may be speaking to a smaller crowd, but they were Americans- The ones whose votes count. I know the press is trying thier best to get him elected, and by reading the posts I see the simple minded are following the bouncing ball.

The rest of the world realizes that the international commumity cannot withstand another war-mongering republican american president. Bush has done an outstanding job of turning other countries against us and eliminating respect for America. The Europeans see Obama as hope for a better america, an america that can be respected, instead of what it is now.

Maybe the "Press" is not reporting the concert because it didn't happen? If the "Press" is not reporting it, where did you get your facts from? Please tell me the names of the bands that performed and where I can find that information to authenticate your claim??

I'll be patiently waiting for your response.....

Obama, the anti christ, beware of this money spending, he is leading the people like a Pentecostal preacher, mass hysteria and blind obiniance. Wake up people, none of these rich politians give a rats behind about us and our problems. What this country needs is another Boston Tea Party.

His speech was mind boggeling...first he says he is there as a citizen, not a candidate...then he says he knows he looks different than other candidates (hmmm..race card?) so was he there as a citizen or a candidate? His speech mimicked JFK and Ronald Reagan...referring to WALLS...how original. Those two were Presidents of the U.S. not someone playing President for the camera. I think he looks foolish traipsing around the world, pressing the flesh attempting to "look presidential" for the camera, with his huge entourage and the media panting after him. All flash, no substance.

[Jerry]

He sure seems to have all the answers. I can not believe our country has gotten as far as we have without a super star like him. He is not only going to fix the USA, but he is going to fix the world. Doesn't this look like the Pied Piper story to you, or something we saw as kids on an old batman cartoon? It sure does to me. He has been a senator for what 1 or 2 terms, I believe it is one. He has done so much already that no other candidate is even close. The guy is a joke! Along with all the politically correct marketing they have been shoving down our throats for years his charismatic speaking has so many people fooled. Go ahead morons, vote for the guy that knows it all. Every person I have ever met that thought they knew or claims to have all the answers, didn't know much about anything. We will see most of our government employees start to resemble the Post Office employees, and any other government office where the service sucks because nobody really knows their job or is qualified to hold the position. We'll have a country that is run like Detriot city. Where he has all his family and friends are employed in positions they don't understand or are even remotely qualified for.

[IM JUST SAYIN]

I WAS UNAWARE THAT GERMANY COULD VOTE FOR A US PRESIDENT. ISN'T HE SPEAKING TO THE WRONG CROWD!?!?!

And he just had to have a German beer, so tell the troops I'll get to them next time? And he didn't speak French at his "press conference" in Paris. Why not, he expects the rest of us rubes to be able to speak it.
That's right, do as I say, I am the Messiah!
Last time I looked at a map, Landstuhl is a lot closer to Berlin than Paris. Matter of fact, it's on the way? Guess he just couldn't be bothered to stop in and say hi, without the media kneeling in front of him.

[Waynobueno]

I really don't think it's a senator's place to go sticking his nose in things abroad whether he's running for president or not.
IF he's elected president, yes but not when he's a wannabe.
Wasn't he elected to work for his state and not his own personal agenda?

[Lawton George]

FIRST OF ALL::::OBAMA IS NOT ELECTED PRESIDENT!!!! He does have the right to express an opinion(s) and give speeches wherever he wants. The simple fact is that he is not the President of the USA and there still is a general election in November!!!
