The Guardian's Jonathan Freedland sends a rather breathless report back from Berlin (he walks on water, his teeth are shiny, that sort of thing). Freedland concludes:
By common consent, tonight and the entire Obama week has been a huge
success, generating priceless images for TV consumption back home and
helping Obama cross the credibility gap — making it easier for
Americans to imagine him as a player on the world stage.
Um, maybe. Though he might have mentioned one constituency who seem to be dissenting from this view: the American people. Obama has been drifting downwards in the polls for the last two weeks.
