Barak continues his World tour

[dragonrider]

I really agree, I think He did more in this one speach to uplift the international view of America than mr Bush has done in the past 8 years.

Absolutely. Bush did a lot to destroy the world's respect for our country. He weakened our friendships. Obama will heal those rifts. We need our friends, and it's not just about "being liked" for the sake of popularity. Having friends and allies helps you get things done.

Obama drew a crowd of 200,000 wildly enthusiastic Europeans. 200,000!!!! Have you ever seen a group that big turn out for ANY American? Holy crap!

I really dont understand all the Barak hatred living in these forums...maybe more based in fear than anything else, yes ?

Some of it is legitimate issues differences. But a lot of it is win-at-any-cost partisanship. And a lot of it is fear and envy, like you mentioned. I think Republicans know this one is out of their reach, and they are reacting with bitterness.
