Reply #5: I'm in Germany, watching it live [View All]

[lebkuchen]

CNNI, which isn't as bad as CNN but close, has said that German officials haven't seen anything like it re: the crowds, since Obama isn't President but merely a US Senator, but Jim Clancey also said it was a sign of Americans hoping that Obama can lead them toward a new policy on so many issues. Christiane Amanpour had an excellent interview of Susan Rice, a woman of color who is Obama's senior foreign policy advisor. She rattled off a list of facts that would make McCain blanch in comparison. My god, condoleeezzza can't compare, either, to Frau Susan Rice.

Americans abroad have set up a voting booth.

Amanpour said the crowd was a virtual United Nations of spectators...lots of folks from all over the world have come to hear Obama...lots of Obama T-shirts.

This is great.
