It's not strange, I noticed it as well. His penmanship is very elegant. Puts my chicken scratch to shame.

Thank you.

My German is pretty rusty. The pictures do tell the story.

A strange thought, I like his handwriting. I liked the words he wrote but I liked the way it say on the page. It seemed so clear an upright. I know, strange.

Even more hilarious is this quote from a German Newspaper:

Sein republikanischer Kontrahent John McCain und Senator Lindsey Graham hatte die Worte Obamas in "Schmidt's Fudge Haus" in Columbus (Ohio) verfolgt.

It's die diss heard round the world.

Rikyrah, you were looking for links to the German newspapers...

I don't speak German so the text of this article may very well be "Barack Obama is an Uppity Negro" (I'm kidding) but there is a 77 page photo blog of his Berlin visit that transcends language.

Gotta post this. Hope it's not a duplicate:

http://blog.washingtonpost....

Seee, they spelled out his menu[ food and prices], idiotic jokes, etc. - complete with a TITLE that FULL-ON disses "MCANCIENT" -

"As Obama Visits Germany, McCain Visits GERMAN Restaurant"!! ULTIMATE DISS!!
:>) :>) :>) Hilarious reading! Enjoy! :>) :>)

rikyrah: 2 more -

www.berlinnews.com

www.voanews.com/english/200...

The headline for this one read:
"Obama Speaks in Berlin, McCain Focuses on Economic Issues at Home"

Is this the ULTIMATE DISS!? :>) :>) :>) :>)

Can't you just hear Mr. Obama saying to "MCANCIENT" upon his return: "I went away for a week and TOLD you to watch this place while I was gone. What did you do to IMPROVE SOMETHING in all that time? Nothing??? Then you have "TIME OUT"! Now go sit in the BAD CHAIR!!" :>) :>) [musing to herself] :>) :>)

rikyrah: I'm straight sitting in front of my AIR CONDITIONER watching videos/pics of Mr. Obama - 'cause he's too FIIIINE! [Did I say that already?] At any rate, I've started the search that you requested [German newspapers].

www.nytimes.com/2008/07/25/...

You know, I just thought of something - I'm the LAST person who shoud be trying to collect addresses. You know that I mess up more times than not! Oh well! :>) I'll do like that "old school" song, I'll keep SEARCHING! :>) :>)[by the Coasters :>) :>)]

This stuff is UNBELIEVABLE people! Those pundits waiting for him to make a mistake and he was perfect! Okay nobody's perfect but he's close enough for me. When he wins I'm going to just going to cry, let it all out, and then be the best person I can be because I will have HOPE that I can do something great and that there are good things out there for me! I'm so proud of Barack Obama!

GreenLadyHere that was a slick diss LOL! On CNN they announced that while Obama was speaking in front of 200,000 people McCain visited a German restaurant and ate bratwurst! Hahahhahaha! Obama's campagin machine is GIFTED! Who in the world gives a speech in front of 200.000 people before he's even president. People LOVE that man! This is the first international political campaign and its a Black man, a sexy Mofo too, taking care of business!

I was about to go into the university but I had to stay home to watch the news. Its really surreal to see a Black man addressing 200,000 people in Europe and that he might become President. Its like a dream. Its amazing how many countries were receptive to him. I had a fear that some would be really racist to his face but I haven't heard about that. What a brilliant campaign move. No one wants to see McCain's tired old ass saying a speech and he's complaining because he's jealous as hell. Obama just has it. He's Marsha Brady and McCain is the other one whatever her name was. Obama just has "something" . I heard Barack actually means "blessed by God" and I think that might be true!
