For political theatre, there is no denying that the speech Sen. Barack Obama delivered in Berlin drew a huge, adoring crowd and was filled with the kind of talk intended to impress, not just Berliners, not just Europe, not just America, but the entire world that a new leader has appeared on the scene to work miracles.
There is no doubt that the worldwide leftist media and Europeans no longer view a US presidential election as necessary. Obama is now appearing as acting president of the United States of America in joint news conferences with foreign leaders. His staff members have already attempted to claim the privilege of “White House Rules” on at least two occasions and had to be reminded that their candidate did not yet occupy the position of POTUS. But, the press and Europeans seem to already accept the fact that - even without one of those pesky US elections - Barack Obama is president. Besides, with regard to Obama an election is merely a formality.

For years liberals of all stripes from socialists to communists to all out fascists have been planting seeds in our society. It became clear to them in the early part of this century that America was not quite ready for the revolutions that swept their fellow travelers into power across the globe in places like Russia, Germany, France and Italy. Something about the right of the people to keep and bear arms still being believed in at the time put serious kinks into that plan. So they opted for a more subtle approach on America’s shores.
