4 years ago 200,000 turned out in Berlin for citizen Obama

Obama didn't send his "advisor" cut-outs to kiss London's special ass in advance. Obama delivered a landmark speech that stunned those who were paying attention.

Romney bought 135,000 fake Twitter followers -- Obama inspired 200,000 people to take the time and trouble to go to the Brandenberg Gate and witness history in the making.

Romney will come nowhere close to Obama's accomplishment on his current tour but will the press make the comparison to 2008?

and saying 'Obama is rock star' like that was something terrible, while McCain made a sad and pathetic photo op trip to a German restaurant in Ohio with 8 people.

an equally wonderful speech...was it in Parliament? First US President to do so. Mitt couldn't come close to any of these.
