Obama mania has hit Europe and it has hit it hard. Not since the Beatles, has one man created this much hysteria. We love it! Finally an American the Europeans actually like.

A London newspaper wrote:

The man who may be the first black US president has transformed politics, writes Chris Stephen. LOCK up your daughters, batten down the hatches, suspend your disbelief – the phenomenon known as Barack Obama rolls into Britain tonight.

Arriving by plane, or possibly magic carpet, the Democratic presidential candidate will tomorrow grace Gordon Brown and David Cameron with his presence before sweeping back to the United States after a global voyage best compared to a rock star’s world tour.

Afghans, Iraqis, Israelis, Jordanians, Palestinians and Germans have already declared themselves mesmerised by Obamamania and yesterday’s reception in Berlin, where tens of thousands turned out to hear him speak, cemented his position as an international superstar.

In stateside news, McCain is somewhere in Pennslyvania talking about the Iraq war. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
