At least one thing certainly all can agree on: the phenomenon "Obamamania" shows that there is a very widespread, very intense, very hot burning desire for a massive substantial change of fundamental politcal course and orientation. Not only in america, but Germany and probably all Europe as well. 215.000 gathered at the victory column. They said on either CNN or ZDF yesterday that inside the US his record crowd size so far had been 75.000. Also, this yearning seem to be most intense amongst surpringly young generations. On ZDF they said the avergae age of the crowd could not have been beyond 25. But German politicians hardly can activate such public interests anymore, nor amongst such young people. Most are very frustrated and disillusioned and no longer interested in politics. Obama seem to have, internationally, an activation potential that only is rivalled by the feeling of starting new that Kennedy once should have caused (had not experienced him myself,and also I am no fan of him, I think he is overestimated).
