Why did the BBC 1 Six o'clock news go live to Berlin to show Obama

[elsie55]

addressing the Germans? I can understand interruptions when there is a major story breaking but this was not. Obama is "grandstanding" and it seems the media cannot get enough.
Your thoughts please.

He was fantastic and can repair relations between the United States and the European Union, the twin pillars of liberty

Everyone is eager to see the next President of the United States.

After 8 dark years of Bush's failures, people are anxious to see the changes for the better that President Obama will bring with him.

[Looking ahead]

Why do they put spectacles on the news?

WTF has he got to do with us, another waste of my money is all that pointless horse sh1te was. The BBC should be closed down or at least made to compete in the market place.

Infatuation.

Because they are the BBC and, institutionally, they like junkets. How many of the fxckers do you suppose will be going to the Olympics?

Leftie BBC needs a black President and promotes this useless clown on a daily basis, doing the JFK thing was a joke. JFK spoke out in Berlin when it mattered to help a divided nation. Obama looked like he was doing an audition for Berlin's got talent. His speech was lackluster and grasping. Can't wait for him to mimic JFK again when he passes the grassy knoll.

Isn't he he Messiah?
