...come as a surprise in Germany, where Obama has been immensely popular since he announced his candidacy. In July 2008, just after Obama locked up the Democratic nomination, he gave a speech in Berlin that drew 200,000 cheering supporters - an event that was later mocked by the McCain campaign, which called him the "biggest celebrity in the world" in a TV ad.
