Germans OBSESSED with Obama: "New Kennedy"
So I am watching TV, there was just a commercial: for a weekly magazine, showing a cover of Barack and Malia from Tuesday night's celebration in Grant Park. Moderator says "Barack Obama: America's New Kennedy." If I see it again, I will try to find the magazine online.

Every newspaper front page for 3 days now has had pictures of Obama & his family. People can't stop talking about it.

I just smile. :D

I think the world breathed a collective sigh of relief Tuesday night. I know I did.

6. hehe. In Norway it seems to be much the same feeling.
Even our "right wing reactionaries" seemed to have supported Obama :-)
