Unbelievable. That's their headline, and I skimmed down the article wondering what they were talking about...and after reading through all the paragraphs about how excited Obama's audience was, I finally got to one paragraph, the very last paragraph, about one person who said he was "a bit disappointed" because he'd "expected more" from Obama as a speaker.

One quote, versus all the obvious excitement and the crowd reaction?

1. Did Merkel lean on them or something? (She looked happy enough with Obama earlier)

3. Same thing on FUX

They were talking about how it was "fairly well attended" and about how the crowd was not as enthusiastic at the end. Sheesh! Where do these liars come from???

6. I was also a bit disappointed... He said nothing of our

fake BS war on terror.... He said nothing of how the US destroyed Iraq unnecessarily.... and he believes in fucking up Afghanistan even more!!...

Of course I will vote for him, but I'm not excited at all about his
foreign policy.

9. You wanted him to criticize the US while abroad?

Really? Do you think that would have helped, and if so, who?

7. That's pretty surprising for Spiegel.

I'd like to find the german version of that article. Bet it says something else.

8. Completely different view over at Bloomberg.

12. Given the comparison, that could border on an insult!
