Even veteran members of the traveling press were shocked when they saw today's schedule. Some had never seen such a packed day.
Indeed, Barack made the most of his day in Israel. He met with Defense Minister Ehud Barak and Likud Party Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu, visited the Holocaust History Museum at Yad Vashem, met with Israeli President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem and then Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad in Ramallah. He toured the town of Sderot with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, met the Mayor of Jerusalem, and had dinner with Prime Minister Olmert. Not a bad day's work.
We are off to Berlin in a few very short hours where Senator Obama be speaking at Berlin's Teirgarten park tomorrow. We will be streaming that event live Thursday at 1pm EDT.
Enjoy your pictures of today...
