As a professional journalist, sometimes I really have to work. Like now. I have to watch the inauguration on CNN and then write a long article on how I liked it (or on how the NY-Times liked it) and what it means for Germany. Hello Germany? Do you have an idea how long the whole ceremony is? I finished the article before it was over, so I could concentrate on watching the parade. The article is pretty short: It goes like this: I liked the inauguration, except that they don´t sell sausages and beer.

Obama craving a sausage
How are you supposed to have a parade without sausages? A parade is build on sausages. They are the cornerstone of democracy.

the cornerstone of democracy
As for German politics and Obama the inauguration means that Angela Merkel will not get her back rubbed no more.

this has nothing to do with sausages
If you wonder about the quote in the headline, let me tell you a secret. Obama never said that. I said it. But technically quotation-marks only indicate that someone said something. Better luck next time for blaming me that my headlines are luring you into reading my fine journalism. The end.
Barack Obama may be a charismatic leader but somehow his economic policies are not that great in my own opinion. But still i am thankful that a Obama is the current president of the unitied states.
