They loved him there, and it was a good speech. Every time he talked about cooperation, he got a cheer. It's such a contrast from the "with us or against us" kinds of ultimatums they've been hearing from the US for eight years. Obama will rebuild our friendships instead of looking for new enemies.

This is from the article, and I found it hillarious:

Republicans chafed at the media attention Obama's campaign-season trip has drawn. Presidential rival John McCain went to a German restaurant in swing-state Ohio, and said he'd like to deliver a speech in Germany, but as president not candidate.
Who came up with that? McCain camapign strategy session:

"Ok, Obama is going to be speaking to 200,000 cheering Germans at the Victory Tower in Berlin. What are we going to do in response?"

"Well, I think maybe we might be able to book the Heidelberg Hoffbrau downtown. Maybe stand out front and whine about the attention Obama is getting?"

"Brilliant! Let's do it! How's the bratwurst there?"
