If people great you with tremendous enthusiasm, it is usually a clear indication that they like you and respect you, perhaps because you are worthy of their respect and liking. If someone else calls it "fawning", it's probably because that someone else finds it quite inconvenient for their own agenda. McCain would love it if millions of Europeans were "fawning" over him in a similar fashion...but they're not. Gee, that's tough, isn't it? Maybe he should wear a T-shirt that says "Mr Charisma" and see if it makes a difference.
