Re: Obama's Speech in Berlin (4.00 / 3)

Will you bother? I don't think I can handle more than written summaries with quotes afterwards...

Re: Obama's Speech in Berlin (4.00 / 2)

No! I don't think so. I skimmed over the news for the Salon tonight and all that Obama hyph makes me feel like after overeating on to much sweets. :-) Short I am fead up with it.

Re: Obama's Speech in Berlin (4.00 / 2)

SPIEGEL has a series of 22 photos of the event. Recommended: the first one (you can pick out some really fanatic fans), big crowd photo with some heavy Prussian background, another big crown photo with Fanmeile feel, Brandenburg Gate, Merkel annoying the Repubs and pro-Repubs in her party, Wowi [won't that hurd Obama's conservative vote?...] and Steinmeier getting their photo-ops. But I embed the best (size reduced):

Re: Obama's Speech in Berlin (none / 1)

Photo 17: A graphoanalyst would have a field day with that handwriting. Very definitive, very interesting and a big, ´look at me´ signature.

After the scenes in Israel, though, I wish they wouldn´t let him out everyday... He has said too much already, even if it´s THE game.

Re: Obama's Speech in Berlin (none / 1)

Damn SPIEGEL is taking photos in and out of the series as we are watching. Just when I made the photo selection, they reduced it from 26 to 22. One of the 'censored' photos would have been the second most interesting: a pro-McCain counter-protester, with an old crap umbrella with A4 paper sheets hanging on all sides with "McCain" printed on them. Could be used as symbolic.
