Other than the Pope, name 1 head of state who'd attract crowds here the same way Obama does overseas

[wndycty]

I don't remember Bush getting these types of reactions, most of Clinton's love from overseas crowds came after his presidency. Has any American President attracted the crowds that Obama has overseas?

Also, other than the Pope, what other foreign leader would come here and attract the crowds the size of Obama's?

He makes me so proud.

1. Kennedy? Ich bin ein berliner?

Other than that nothing comes to mind

2. Nope

I still can't get over that huge crowd in Germany during the election campaign.

6. Your version of reality is in the minority.

Regarding your edit: Promoting a third party is against the rules here at DU plus it is stupid beyond measure. One can only assume (1) you want a return to GOP rule or (2) you lack the brain cells required to understand the consequences of splitting the vote.

7. Wait till the Republicans are in full power and kicking our asses to kingdom come then......

And then you may get nolstagic!

Crying about everything and anything Obama? You just fucking wait......
and I hope you are saving your money and putting yourself in a position
to survive what will be next.....the only question is whether it will be in 2012
or 2016.

Like my hubby said, some folks are so out of it, they don't know a good thing
when it is happening till it is gone.

10. Want to promote a 3rd party, eh?

You won't be long for this forum.

16. As this photo from last September clearly shows...

U.S. President Barack Obama attends a DNC Rally at the University of Wisconsin in Madison, September 28, 2010.

4. British Royality

Kate & Wills are about to embark on some overseas trips and you'll probably see large gatherings to greet them.

8. I can only think of Nelson Mandela or the Dalai Lama

[Yavin4]

9. George W. Bush

They're protesting him, but still he does draw a crowd.

[bergie321]

12. My first thought

As well.

20. One Time, Bush Even Got A Free Pair of Shoes

Score one for Bush.

11. Queen Elizabeth II

[Ghost Dog]

13. Any President of France

+ Carla Bruni.

[golfguru]

14. All those people should be allowed to vote in our election

those who show up at Obama rallies in foreign lands.
Hand them an absentee ballot each!

[Clio the Leo]

15. And Reagan would not have received that....

.... he was admired as the nation's grandpa .... our guy has rock start status. Some may poo poo this, but rock star status = votes.

[AndiMer]

17. FUCKING Recommend!

We may be too dumb to appreciate him, but the rest of the world is not!

[CakeGrrl]

18. I agree. He's great and Ireland knows a good person when they see one. n/t

[SheilaT]

19. Bill Clinton.

[pacalo]

21. Most certainly! They loved Clinton.

And GW's crowd consisted of hordes of security people, at heavy cost to the host country, to hold back the sea of protesters who hated him.

[DCBob]

22. Bush used to attract enormous crowds..

of angry protesters!!
