This is bad news for Obama. US media and the McCain campaign will eat this up.
McCain campaign statement -

While Barack Obama took a premature victory lap today in the heart of Berlin, proclaiming himself a 'citizen of the world,' John McCain continued to make his case to the American citizens who will decide this election. Barack Obama offered eloquent praise for this country, but the contrast is clear. John McCain has dedicated his life to serving, improving and protecting America. Barack Obama spent an afternoon talking about it.

It's stupid and rather weak, but one can see the tack.It will be easy to paint Obama's trip as arrogant and that he is more at home in Europe than America, convincing dodgy voters that he
really isn't one of them. Notice the word choice, Obama - world, McCain - American.
Wait for it.
EDIT - Just found McCain eat his own face while attempting to play the More-American-than-you game.

"I would rather speak at a rally or a political gathering any place outside of the country after I am president of the United States," McCain told O'Donnell. "But that's a judgment that Sen. Obama and the American people will make."

It's rather hilarious. Remember his Canada trip only a month ago?

EDIT 2 - Something to keep in mind when the right attacks Obama for being a "
citizen of the world"
