  Der Spiegel | Jul 25, 08 12:28 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Barack Obama’s speech in Germany is drawing the full complement of responses in Europe, from glowing to scowling. Here are a few: He’s “an idealist in the true spirit of the American success story,” writes Gerhard Spohl in Der Spiege l, and aspires to be "something akin to the president of the world.” While bidding good riddance to the arrogance of Bush, Spohl cautions Germans about being swept away. "Let's allow ourselves to be warmed today," he says. "Then we'll take a further look. More »

  (Newser) - Americans are so worried about the economy they’re returning to a pre-9/11 mindset in which pocketbook issues trump national security—and that doesn’t bode well for John McCain, Politico reports.

McCain’s “whimsy” shone yesterday with ads in Berlin, NH; Berlin, Penn.; and Berlin, Wis.
