The fliers given out at cafes in Berlin by the Obama campaign...

Maybe it's just cause I'm young(24), but I fear for our country under an Obama regime like I have never feared something political before.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. I'm 20, but I've studied 20th Century history (particuarly WWII) for most of my life...

Those of you more advanced in years, has something like him taken place before that you can remember?  I know from history that Carter was a terrible president.  But did he have that same unwholesome "one world government" feeling like Obama does?

We can see that Carter was a terrible and ineffective president. However, he didn't have the backing of Soros and Co, nor was he controlled by the Daley political machine, and once the people saw how terrible he was, he was dumped out of office before he did great harm, and we got Reagan who fixed his screwups

I just can't shake the feeling that the country that I have lived in and read about in history is going to change fundamentally under Obama.  Like there's a USA 1776-2008, and something else 2008 onward.  I'm not saying it's the "death of America" or any super tinfoil hat stuff.  Just that something about Obama is going to divide America's history into 2 halves, before him, and after him.  And not at all in a good way.  Am I just imagining this because I'm too young to remember other terrible times in our country?

No, you are right to feel that way. Nothing has ever been this bad in our country...the way I see it, our country's history has been greatly marred by two events since the Revolution...the Civil War, and the Great Depression. Those are two points where we hit rock bottom, but I think Obama could be worse...

I view civil war or a second revolution as a very, very real possiblity if Obama is elected...his socialist doublespeak, and his "slips" about wanting to form his civilian security force and "mandatory volunteering" (NewSpeak for slavery) scare the hell out of me.

Apparently he thinks Germans and Israelis get to vote.

Actually, there are large American expat communities in Israel, Germany, the rest of Europe and the Middle East, and in Asia.  In what may be a close election, those American votes can make a difference.  It also isn't uncommon for the major party candidates to have an audience with major friendly world leaders to 1) reassure the friendly leaders of US foreign policy continuity, and 2) to look presidential for the news back home.  This is why McCain made a trip to Israel fairly recently.

So, low key visits with members of the American expat community in Germany and maybe a photo op with the Prime Minister is fine.  What gets me is the vast rally in front of 200K Germans.  No questioning in the US press about why or if it made any sense.  This is what is unusual and disturbing.

Maybe it's just cause I'm young(24), but I fear for our country under an Obama regime like I have never feared something political before.  Those of you more advanced in years, has something like him taken place before that you can remember?

Well, I'm older but not that old (38) but I am a student (and teacher) of history.

The cult of personality we are seeing surrounding Obama is rare, but not unheard of.  In the past 100 years there have been a few leaders with a similar "aura": Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Emperor Hirohito, Mao, Kennedy and Reagan.  Look at that list and see how many were helpful to society and how many were harmful.  Scary isn't it?  Further, the near religious following in the press and teflon coating protecting him from any negatives seem more in line with the totalitarian examples and not the two American examples.  Add in some of his history (look into his mentors for instance), the statements and actions by him and his wife even in this campaign, his minister, and some of his proposed policies, and it doesn't look too good.

I'm worried myself.

Don't be worried, be prepared.

Both Obama and McCain get Secret Service protection paid from out of the public purse on these foreign "campaigns" - I'd like to know who wrote that into the program.

The same money-snakes bankrolled and put Hitler in power, who put MLK, JR. in power, and now are putting forth the same scheme with Obama.

Uh, what? Martin Luther King jr was "in power" at some point? And he was put there by.... who?

Yeah, I'd kind of like to know when MLK Jr was in power, and by who. And also, WHY would the people you say who bankrolled HItler and Co. (who were Aryan supremacists) back a black guy?

And what about JFK? Yeah, his father supported Hitler, but that doesn't mean he did...
