Comments on: As Obama heads to Germany, Republicans appeal to U.S. Berliners

McCain is making the same mistake Clinton made - reacting to Obama’s advances rather than advancing his own plans and ideas. This is retrogressive and will not get him anywhere. He’d better get his act together and start telling people what he is really about instead of doing damage control after Obama’s big landing in Europe.

Senator McCain is too old, too dumb and we are now suffering from having one ex-pilot for president. Why would we want another. Give me a break.

To my fellow german posters - the article talks about the republicans airing ads in the US not Germany, in towns named Berlin (in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and New Hampshire) not in Berlin, Germany! lol! It’s a bizarre strategy that will have zero impact. The republicans are running scared and it’s pushing them into weird responses.

If McCain is going to loss the game, it is by far better to loss it gracefully. This is only possible by doing relatively ethical political campaigns, that I call it modern politics. Hence, McCain’s ad in Germany doesn’t seem good. Honestly speaking, Obama looks more experienced candidate irrespective of his age. His campaign has been well organised, planned and above all moves strategically and positively. Look a people around him! anyhow I wish you good luck for both of you!

As a german I’m really starting to get confused: Obama is giving a speech, the republicans are airing advertisments…did I miss something? Am I allowed to vote in this election? Did Germany join the United States? And what is all this “Obamania”-talk about anyway? I dont no a single person here who is actually getting crazy about Obama (besides some politicians and the media). Most people I know, would have preferred Clinton over all. But Obama is not Bush, thats a big point for him, and he seems more not-Bush, than McCain is not-Bush, which makes him Germanys (and Europes) favourite. Thats how simple most Germans think about that matter, I’d say…
