CITIZEN OF THE WORLD: BARACK OBAMA ADDRESSES WORLD

Barack Obama addressed over 200,ooo in Berlin, Germany today accordng to Berlin police. what is it about his message that has the whole wide world listening? One woman said; “she would never wash her hand again” after he shook her hand walking highly congested crowds after his speech.

This was his largest gathering of people amassed in one place, at one time ever to see, hear and perhaps touch him. He is an enigma on universal proportions, but what is the root of his acclaim? Is it just because he is the latest “new face?”

Do people really gravitate toward him without a clue as to his views? Is there any truth to his followers admire him for his potential, and their expectations, rather than any substantive reason?

“Citizen of the World” is a term that both Reagan and Kennedy both used when they were in Germany. Although, when they uttered those words the world and Eastern Europe was a very different place.

A curious fact indeed, when Obama alludes to the fact “his American ancestors came over to Europe, but he doesn’t resemble them in outward appearance.”

		Citizens of the World, or, New World Order. One planet, one government, no countries, no borders, no constitution, no rights, no freedom.

		I have some trouble understanding just what the point of Obama's trip to Europe was in the first place. Yeah, it was heartening to see him so well-received in Berlin... but Berliners will not be voting for a new American president this November, and the whole trip just seemed to be a big publicity stunt, the more I think about it. Did Obama really think that making a speech in Germany would win American votes? And if he did, then why? Why not just make speeches here, in front of the people who will be voting this fall? I don't quite get it, I guess.
