200,000 Germans crowded up to one man at a German event. The youth cheered and screamed for this man and completely supported everything he said. This young man made a dynamic speech that brought Germans, young and old together united with almost no opposition.

Remind you of Hitler?

The press forgot to report that there were 3 free concerts prior to his speech..just like he did in Oregon.  

Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Then you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
For the times, they are a changing

I think the Bob Dylan song "Everybody Wants To Get Stoned" would give you a better idea of the Obama Movement. My Wolfman Jack Avatar will help with my credibility in some cases.

Perfect, Mr. Jones..

I read an account where the TV journalist stated repeatedly that the crowd was estimated to be at 20,000.  Then after a short break he came back and estimated the crowd at 100,000 or more.  Nobody will ever know how many people were there.  But if you only manage to get 20,000 German university students at an event with free music, free brats and free beer then you are doing something wrong.

They are reporting the crowd to be at 200K now.  

One thing I was mistaken about was the concerts.  They were held AFTER Obama's speech, not before.  Apparently, they learned from the Oregon speech where they had the concert before Obama spoke and a ton left early.  So all those people standing there were actually there for the concert and free food after he gave his We are the World speech..

Ah, the "tree" strikes at the root of the matter.  

This appears to be a case of the "tree" calling the kettle black.

He is black.  Does that mean that Tree is a racist and a communist?

I was looking at some German web sites and many do appear to quote the 200K figure.  But, I know how political and inaccurate the crowd counts are in DC.  The city has been sued for "underestimating" crowd size so the police no longer release estimates.  

I found this site that seems to indicate the crowd was in fact much smaller.  http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/blog ... px?id=2492
