His aura!


Mr. Obama was warmly embraced by the German press, which frequently referred to his aura, or as the newspaper Bild put it in Thursday’s paper, the “political pop star.”

I don't know - is that good? I'm not too well-informed about this aura stuff.


Obama told Germans in a Berlin speech he wasn't there "as a candidate for President" but just as a citizen, because all us citizens fly around in charter planes with a retinue of advisors and press.


He's probably got the German vote nailed.
