Barack Obama finally played the Palace, or at least the Tiergarten, and he left a lot of promises in his wake. He'll get Christians, Muslims and Jews to hit the sawdust trail together, to repent their sins and suspicions and remake the world. He'll tear down walls between nations, between races, tribes and immigrants; between East and West, between the haves and the have-nots.

And with his spare change he'll buy the world a Coke.

He drew the loudest applause when he promised to bring the Americans home from the war in Iraq, and when he said "my country has not perfected itself." The Berliners really liked that one.

Now that he has imbibed the elixir of kings and caliphs just being president is not enough. "People of Berlin, people of the world," he said, "this is our moment." He offered himself "not as a candidate for president, but as a citizen ... a fellow citizen of the world." He wants to be president of everybody.

"I am not sure what happened... The Messiah was speaking in Berlin,
I started to tingle... and the next thing I know I was waking up in a
men's room public bathroom with my underwear on backwards
and my wallet gone..."
