Walking in the open without shutting down the city with soldiers.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

In the middle of a cheering crowd. Without a trace of fear or apprehension on ANYBODY'S face. Without paranoia. Completely comfortable in a crowd of hundreds of thousands. In a large city in a foreign nation.

When's the last time America witnessed such as this?

How long has it been?

How LONG, George?

1. Precisely. There's a big take home message.

2. It is

extraordinarily refreshing!

3. You can be sure that security is tight where he spoke

It's just not in-your-face.

[liberal N proud]

4. He has sent a couple of messages to the fear mongers

The other day pictures of him carrying his bullet resistant vest and other moments where he has shown no fear.
The crowds have shown him great hospitality in return.

Take that bu$h, Cheney and all your fear mongering buddies.

5. I don't think we've seen that since Bill Clinton! I remember the

thousands of cheering people who used to meet BC when he traveled...that seems like a THOUSAND YEARS AGO!

8. I feel like flying the Stars and Stripes again.

Today, being an American is not an embarrassment.

9. If you'll permit me to paraphrase Dr. Henry Jones Sr. ...

"It's nice to see them WAVING our flag instead of BURNING our flag."

11. i think you mean Obama in Germany?

i'm so well conditioned, i felt apprehension just reading about such a scene. as pleasing as it may be, and it does please me that he's enjoyed such a good reception overseas, i really want him to be CAREFUL!

the big thing of course is that wherever gw goes he's attended by protesters with signs spelling out the truth about what he is. a murderous, traitorous, fascistic, lying dictator.

13. Everyone in the World saw that. You didn't need a word of English

to appreciate what a difference an Obama presidency would make.
