Conservative parties won big in the European Union elections. German and French conservatives made the largest gains. The EU said center-right parties were expected to take the most seats.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's party sent a historic defeat to their center-left rivals in the European Parliament vote.
Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have been against any European stimulus, unlike British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who has been under heat to resign.
This shows that many Europeans are upset at how the current liberal-socialist parties have dealt with a world-wide recession by taking over banks and private companies.

When was the last time Europeans actually picked a good leader?
I have been thinking a lot lately about the messiah's tour of Europe. The Germans appear to love him, at least the ones that showed up. They all came praising him in all of his glory. They brought signs and wore clothes and bowed down to him (the Obama campaign supplied the signs and clothes). I saw many Germans waiting to get healed from all of their pain. This went on and on and on. Later, the messiah went to France and England, but he didn't do any large "sermon on the mount" speeches there.
The BBC, Reuters, NBC, CBS and ABC all said that Obama is loved in Europe and that Europeans want him to be the next leader of the "Free World." This is beginning to bother me. In a BBC piece, the reporter said Obama is the "political redeemer." Now, it's really bothering me.
I don't care what the Europeans want for President of the United States! They can't vote! (That may change if we keep going on this path.) Obama talked about uniting the world, and he even called himself "a citizen of the world." Now, I want to break out and sing now..."We are the world, We are the children, We are the ones who make a brighter day, So let's start giving, There's a choice we're making, We're saving our own lives, It's true we'll make a better day, Just you and me"...ok, I'm done, enough with that. I don't like Michael Jackson anyway, I don't know what just happened. In fact, lets just forget all about that song.
Back to business. When was the last time Europeans picked a good leader? This may be tough. Maybe if we asked what can be defined as "good"? Is good, Adolph Hitler? I hope not, if that is good, they picked a real winner. Is good, Benito Mussolini? Francisco Franco? Joseph Stalin? Vladimir Lenin? Napoleon Bonaparte? And these leaders are recent leaders, lets not talk about the distant past (Julius Caesar, and the rest of the Caesars after him, etc). So, if you consider these leaders as good, well, they were good at killing millions of people.
Now, one country has somewhat of a good track record, the United Kingdom. They at least had Winston Churchill as their leader. He was a success.
So where do the Europeans get off picking the United States' next president? They don't! They can't vote!
Since when do the Europeans have to bow down to what the Americans do? Aren't they proud of their home country? Or, do they want Americans to suffer with them with socialized healthcare? Why don't we all just "spread the wealth" together?! What is good for Europe is good for America, right?

Hope and Change Tour: Victory Column, Berlin
The Germans have gotten soft over the years. Now it appears that the chancellor cannot do anything and has to bow down to the United States. From what I have been seeing on tv, only the messiah, Lord Barack Obama can fix all of the world's problems.
Remember, this was not a political speech. He was talking only because he is an "American citizen and a citizen of the world."
Here are some more pictures from the messiah's day in Berlin.

Thousands of Germans listen to healing words from the savior.

Obama Prepares for Victory Speech at Siegessäule
Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama, aka: the messiah of the world, will speak in Berlin today. It was originally going to be at the Brandenberg Gate, but only world leaders can speak there and Germans are strict.
The messiah has been busy on his world tour and has been praised by millions since the world wants him to be elected. However, there has been only one problem that has been reported. This was at Jerusalem's Western Wall where Obama angered many people there because of his high security and that he only went there for political reasons and not for the "right reasons." He arrived at the Western Wall early in the morning around 5:00 and left shortly there after. He also went to Bethlehem while in Israel. I'm not going to say more about that.
Obama is now in Berlin and will speak at the Siegessäule, the victory column. He will have another political speech there where thousands of people will be in awe.

Below is a satirical poem about Lord Barack Obama:
Barack loves me this I know
For the media tells me so
Citizens with big doe eyes
We are dumb but he is wise
yes Barack loves me
yes Barack loves me
Yes Barack loves me
The media tells me so
