Obama.
I am an Obama devotee. So this post will probably only appeal to fellow Obama devotees.
Obama just spoke to a crowd of 200,000 in Berlin.

200,000.
Can you imagine any candidate for any office from another country drawing 200,000 Americans to one of his or her speeches?
Reporters say his 27-minute speech at the gold-topped Victory Column was interrupted by applause at least 30 times, with occasional audience chants of “O-ba-MA!”
Billed as a speech about Transatlantic relations, it turned out to be a manifesto for the planet, with an appeal to “the burdens of global citizenship.” German authorities said the crowd was more than 200,000 — triple Obama's previous record of 70,000 in Portland, Ore.
Can you even imagine Obama as the American president? The possibilities are almost overwhelming.
I was thinking how crazygoodfun it will be to discuss politics with Brody. Then I wondered whether Brody could one day vote for Obama.
I did the math - he's 2, he can vote in 16 years, but at that point Obama will be term limited from running for president again. Alas. . . .
Then I had the most inspired thought.
What if in the future, Obama voted for Brody?

Wish I was going to be around to vote for Brody, but in the meantime, Obama all the way.
Hey, I'm for Obama and I live in Portland, Or. It was insane when he was here. I have never seen our water front so packed(and we can pack it in) it was in the high 90's that day and even lil kids were out there. I couldn't imagain 200,000... wow.
Woot.
