And the crowd goes wild!

Thousand of adoring fans meet him with screaming cheers and applause. The top of the building is ready to come off, its just madness the way he electrifies the crowd. Shirts sell out, he is mobbed for autographs, and they just can't get enough of him. This screamer of a rock band is nothing more than a one man show is the middle of the Wild, Wild West. Who is this man and who’s his crowd? It is Barack Obama, and the crowd is United States service men and women.

The taunting of McCain towards Obama to take another trip to Middle East has seemed to backfire. World leaders across the world are embracing his policies, citizens of other nations have been caught up in Obamamania, and now the troops can't get enough. I was in Iraq when Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld came for a visit, and it was nothing like this. When Obama stepped onto the court in Iraq back in 2005, he was greeted very warmly to many fans and supporters. Three years later the crowd has multiplied, and the supporters have intensified. From Kuwait to Baghdad to Afghanistan, Barack Obama has received a rock stars welcome with Presidential treatment. Below are links to some of the videos from news agency and embedded bloggers.
