From Eric Dondero:

With polls showing him down in the mid-40 range for approvals, and under fire for his unpopular domestic policy and increasingly failed foreign policy agenda, Obama may be forced to look to Europe for some inspiration for the coming year. He may find it readily available, particularly in Germany. The much ballyhood musical "HOPE: The Obama Musical Story" will premiere in Frankfurt on January 17.

From Der Spiegel:

Jimmie Wilson who plays Obama, struts up and down, clasping his mike and leading a euphoric gospel chorus of "Yes We Can."

And there's an odd connection to the deceased Michael Jackson. Continuing:

“We had some trouble finding Obama but then we found Jimmie Wilson and that worked well,” he said, refering to the actor who had his first major lead role in “Sisterella,” a musical produced by Michael Jackson. “We took into account the appearance of the performers to get that likeness, but their musical ability was essential too.”

Of particular interest to American Republicans, an entire set is devoted to Sarah Palin. More:

Sarah Palin also has her own solo, surrounded by a troop of scantily clad dancers.

The Actress playing Palin is said to be dressed in knee high boots and hot pants.

Apparently the Germans haven't gotten the word that Palin's latest approval ratings are on the rise now at 46%, while approvals for Obama are on steep decline at 47%.
