“The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand,” Mr. Obama said...
...
...a candidate who could restore the world’s faith in strong American leadership and idealism.
...
Bratwurst-and-beer stands shared space with vendors who were selling an array of Obama products, including a T-shirt that declared, “The World For Obama ’08.” [Ouch.]
