I read and reread his post, not quite believing what I saw. Not sure where he came up with that stuff as a result of this article about Senator Obama, but it obviously says much more about him than it does about the Senator. I guess folks see what they want to see. Thanks Audrey and Dan for the quality blogs an photos. I appreciate being provided glimpses of peoples and cultures I'll likely never experience.

We can definitively debunk this rumor - beer was 3.50 Euros ($5.30) and sausages were the same price. There was no free dinner in Berlin.

Kennedy's speech in Berlin in 1963. Our use of the phrase "jelly donut" was in no way related to Obama's appearance or race. JFK's opening "Ich Bin Ein Berliner", well-known to those who have visited Berlin, is explained at length in the site linked at the bottom of our article (at the asterisk *).

If Obama becomes the President of the USA, I am quite positive the Black population will make extremely selfish request up "their" black President, and when he does not the words "Oreo" or "Uncle Tom" will result if he is the President of the USA, and not President of the Blacks. It will be fun to watch, I kind of want Obama to be Presidents just to see the Oreo, Uncle Tom and Riots as I suspect black people will feel he betrays them. I think he has a white mother, this also will make him not a black person. When the kid gloves come off, they the real life will reveal itself.
