GERMANS LOVE OBAMA; CHATTANOOGANS LOVE VOLKSWAGEN~GREAT YEAR FOR DEMOCRATS!
Germans gave Barack Obama the welcome only a U.S. President gets. Obama spoke to a record number of people yesterday in Berlin, Germany, talking about our "shared destiny." More than 200,000 Germans attended the rally in this historically divided Cold War city. As Germans grow in their love of the Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama, Chattanoogans grow in their appreciation for the German auto company's, Volkswagen, decision to build an assembly plant here.

Dear Stumped:
Why is the media unwilling to vet Obama as they would any other candidate? Isn't it bizarre that Obama gets almost no legitimate criticism from the major news sources (including The Post)? I'm a devoted Democrat who will certainly vote for Obama, and even I wonder what happened to the media's backbone.

Dear Liz,
I disagree with you. Barack Obama's candidacy took a big hit when the media zeroed in on his church and its controversial pastor Jeremiah Wright. Obama's supporters felt the focus on Wright, and the guilt by association, was overblown. It wasn't -- it was part of the proper vetting of a lesser-known presidential candidate that you suggest has been missing.
