You know why the Rightwingers are pissed - because McCain can't pull off what Obama did in Germany

So I watched Countdown tonight but unfortunately I caught a bit of Hardball before hand and I left the TV running afterwards for whatever was on after Keith.

And I watched all the repuke talking heads spew hatred and spin negatively what Obama did today in Germany. But you know, they're just doing their job because they know there is no way they could put McCain on a trip like that and have the same kind of success that Obama had today.

I looked at Dozens of pictures of the speech in Germany and what thing was noticably absent - large-scale protests against the United States and/or the person representing the US. The audience was filled with 200K+ who wanted to hear what Obama had to say and came with little protesting (I'm sure there was some but not obvious).

McCain can never make that trip because he risks the potential of another large-scale protest. If Germans, or for that matter other countries in general, perceive McCain as simply an extenstion of the Bush administration there is a risk of major protests that would be nothing but a negative for the McCain campaign - it would give off an image back to the US that McCain is really living up to his nickname of 'McSame' and perhaps the US wants something new and different.

Congratulations for the great job done by Obama! Today he truly looked presidential!
