It would be outrageous if a British or German member of parliament had a big rally and gave a speech next to the Lincoln statue in Washington. Finally visiting a few famous capitals in Europe does not enhance his foreign affairs crudentials, this is sheer opportunism but that's just typical of Obama.

I think Mr Obama is showing his arrogance and disrespect for other countries. Taking hagel with him is not showing bipartisnship, he is taking hagel because he is a republican "against the war", why not take lieberman? or hillary? And as much as obama has changed his iraq message, it's not very much different from McCains, he is still going to have about 50,000 soldiers left there for the long run (his contigent force).

Nice to see he is taking some people with experience with him to Iraq since he has no qualifications with foreign policy. This guy is the leader of the Democrats???? It is a shame a proven team of leaders (Clinton) got tossed to the side.

Had Obama actually given a pretty little speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate before he even became the actual nominee of the Democratic Party, the Obamarrogant label would have stuck to him for all eternity… It was such a major mistake on the part of the Obama campaign to have leaked the invitation from the mayor of Berlin. What did Carville call Obama's handlers, "stupid amateurs" think it was? Knoxville NFIL Too bad.

He's only a nominee not the president. He can go overseas but needs to keep his mouth shut. There is too big a chance that he will mis speak or say something controversial. I hope Michelle isn't going with him. That would be a nightmare not knowing what will come out of her mouth. Why does he think he has to give a speech. He's only a nominee not the president.

Maliki wants the U.S. to draw a timetable to leave and Obama is right in listening because he has always stressed a timetable withdrawal , so really there is nothing for him to say. Obama has always stressed the importance of focusing our attention on Afgan and nothing has been done by the Bush administration and as a result more U.S. troops are being killed. Bush/McCain have mismanaged our military in the worse way so why would anyone want McCain to continue the same. The Germans want him there, they love him.

However, it was done within the context of media contrived. First of all, JFK was defined by family triumphs and tragedy, with a father who never deserted his family, instead supported his sons. JFK was a Navy war hero - BO never served. JFK loved animals - BO doesn't own a one. JFK's speech in Germany was historical - BO's is a copy cat version with no historical relevance. As far as I can tell, BO cannot be compared so much with JFK as much as he's an imitator. Today there was an article in the SF Chronicle about the media's focus on the JFK – BO comparisons.
