You know it is going to be a great journalistic masterpiece when the people are already saying that where Bush failed surely will Obama succeed. However, few feel it important to mention that Bush's failure suddenly was not so clear after Germany and France elected conservative leaders in 2006, but that is besides the point...
Obama is going to save our respect! The amazing Europeans will back us one day again...
Europeans, who typically have little interest in U.S. presidential primary contests, are likely to tune in as well.
I thought they were quite interested in American foreign policy but that could just be the Iraq talking.http://www.jmverville.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/images/spacer.gif
"After Iowa much of Europe wants to know more about Barack Obama," said Christoph von Marschall, Washington bureau chief for Germany's Der Tagesspiegel newspaper and author of the book "Barack Obama, The Black Kennedy."
The Black Kennedy? What a great title! Kennedy had affairs with former Nazi spies and women who were moles for organized crime (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/kennedys/peopleevents/e_scandal.html), allegedly. Perhaps Obama can follow the great JFK's legacy and have some multicultural affairs with spies from the Arab world or women affiliated with Colombian drug cartels. He is off to an illustrious start.
Obama's popularity has soared in Europe since his startling win in Iowa, with European newspapers and television networks from Stockholm to Berlin to London now filled with images of the Illinois senator.

Now that is great -- it seems like an awesome Freudian slip to note that the images filling the newspaper are wooing Europeans, almost as if to say that the message which Obama has (which really can be summed up in, I'm not Bush, I'm not corrupt, I hate Iraq and Oprah thinks I am the One (http://www.jmverville.com/?p=436)) is just as irrelevant as ever.
We all know the guy likes to talk like all politicians. I am not sure if he has any intent on fulfilling any of his promises.
But perhaps we'll get lucky and have another Kennedy on our hands.
