I agree with you on that count. For his supporters, it certainly is the type of speech that they want to hear. But moderate Dems and unaffiliated voters? I'll wait to see the poll numbers over the next week or two.

Regardless of your personal reasons for voting/backing Obama, when even the incumbent party is campaigning on "change" you'd be pretty naive to think that voter dissatisfaction isn't the recurring theme of this election.

Why would people want to elect a man that has only been in politics a few years?

Is this normal for a Presidential candidate to make a "stump-like" speech in another country? I am watching MSNBC right now in awe...
What do you all think?

I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before. Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen - a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.

We say that because not too long ago he was out speaking about how "embarrassed" he was that Americans go over seas and can only speak English. Well, actually, all we can say is "merci beaucoup".
