Obama was Here

The whole country seemed to stop for a couple of hours yesterday to listen to Barak Obama. Attracting over 200,000 in the center of the city made every politician in Germany green with envy - probably one or two in the US as well. There was a 45 minute special BEFORE the speech and the speech carried live.

Almost as popular as the pope!

Here's a link to a video in the NYTimes with German reactions. Interesting.
