Obama Cheered, Extensively, in Strasbourg

Here's another snippet of President Obama's town-hall in Strasbourg, France Friday, from the end of his opening remarks:
Thank you very much. (Cheers, applause.) Thank you. All right. Thank you. Thank you! (Applause continues.) Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! Thank you very much. (Applause continues.) Thank you.

Please -- (cheers, applause) -- thank you. Thank you! Thank you.

Please, everybody, have a seat.
And another moment of note: a young woman named Ennis Otto (sp?) of Heidelberg notifies the president that his name means "peach" in Hungarian. "Peach?" the president responds. "Well, how about that. I did not know that." "Yes, now you know it," Ms. Otto replies.
