(Berlin, Germany - 1.58 p.m. local time)
Obama’s very moves make headlines - since he decided to leave his campaign to visit his 86 year old ailing grandmother in Honolulu, Hawaii. It was kind of bizarre to hear this on the headlines on BBC news. I guess it will give him respect on the streets for putting his family first - priorities straight.
And then as they day turned into night, I checked some news on www.current.com and I have to say these ones put a huge smile on my face, since they are catchy and you too can sing along...
Already hundreds of people were heading towards Grant Park and the atmosphere was chilled and sunny with a perfect sunset. A lot of international press was strolling around everywhere. In 30 min I have to take the other entrance (for the press people) and split up from Shehla, who has general public tickets - so she will watch from the other side.
The energy is great and the turnout is gonna be expected to bring 1 million locals to watch this countdown tonight.
