I saw most of Obama's speech live on MSNBC. it was amazing to see him speak at the Siegesaule, with people stretching out to the Brandenburg Gate to hear him.
I lived in West Berlin a few years before the wall came down. When I was there, two walls and barbed wire (and God knows what else) were between those two points. Friedrichstrasse, one of the crossover points, was like a no man's land. Now, you'll be happy to know there's a Starbuck's there, among other things.
But enough of my nostalgia--the speech rocked. The people were with him. They were even waving American flags. They never do that. And we know they weren't US Foreign Service wokers
TPM has the speech's transcript.
Obama was basically healing the "you're with us or against us" mentality of the last eight years. He urged the Berliners and by extension Europeans in general, to work with the US to help end world poverty, terrorism, and all the other plagues of the present. He said it will take work and sacrifice. He said--hide your eyes if you're squeamish--America hasn't been perfect. Imagine!
Not perfect ! I'm sure McBush will jump all over that one after his lunch at a German restaurant in Ohio. Who schedules this guy's campaign, anyway?
I have very close ties to Germany and am very partial to Europe in general. Shhh, I even lived in France for a while.
We have to deliver NH blue up and down the ticket. That's all there is to it.
