When John F. Kennedy delivered his Ich Bin Ein Berliner speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate on June 26, 1963, 450,000 people flocked to hear him. Fifty years later a far more subdued invitation-only crowd of 4,500 showed up to hear Barack Obama speak at the same location in Berlin. As The National Journal noted, he didnt come away with much, winning just a smattering of applause from a crowd that was one-hundredth the size of JFKs, and far smaller than the 200,000 boisterous Germans who had listened to his 2008 address as a presidential candidate. JFK had a clear message when he came to Berlin a half century ago the free world must stand up to Communist tyranny. 24 years later, President Reagan stood in the same spot famously calling on the Soviets to tear down this wall. Reagans speech was a seminal moment that ushered in the downfall of an evil empire, and gave hope to tens of millions of people behind the Iron Curtain. It was a display of strength and conviction by the leader of the free world, sending an unequivocal message of solidarity with those who were fighting for freedom in the face of a monstrous totalitarian ideology.
In stark contrast to that of his presidential predecessors, Barack Obamas message on Wednesday was pure mush, another clichéd citizens of the world polemic with little substance. This was a speech big on platitudes and hopeless idealism, while containing much that was counter-productive for the worlds superpower. Ultimately it was little more than a laundry list of Obamas favourite liberal pet causes, including cutting nuclear weapons, warning about climate change, putting an end to all wars, shutting Guantanamo, ending global poverty, and backing the European Project. It was a combination of staggering naiveté, the appeasement of Americas enemies and strategic adversaries, and the championing of more big government solutions.
Not only is the honeymoon long over, folks. The marriage is becoming deeply troubled and, increasingly, loveless.
OMG. PLays the race card yet again. "I dont exactly look like previous German or American leaders." What a fucking tool.

Does anybody remember the DISGUSTING FILTH in the Lame Stream Media reporting that?6:33 p.m.: The tens of thousands of Obama fans are being entertained as they await the senator. The reggae musician Patrice kicked things off, followed by the rock band Reamonn.
In his 2008 speech that drew so many?
It's important to remember.... the Stuttering Clusterfukk Of A Miserable Failure (obama) was scheduled between two Rock Concerts.
The first one was a free concert by 'The Decemberists' then......

Me neither. But it's a fact.
Aside from their politics, compare the personal characteristics of our last three Democratic and Republican Presidents: Carter, Clinton, Obama vs. Reagan, Bush1, Bush2.
Care to draw any conclusions? Why must we elect such flawed individuals every 20 years?
I have not been paying much attention to the news this week...
