Comments on: Obama Speaks to Berliners, "Not As a Candidate for President"

[element51]

I knew that the anti Obama folks would be out in force tonight and I was right. It just comes down to this. All I have is ONE measly little vote. How much is it worth? Basically nothing as there are many posters on here who will negate my little vote. But I am firm in my decision to back Obama. I may be right, I may be wrong but I am firm in my resolve. I will not even try to point out the obvious lies posted about Obama tonight or any other time. It doesn''t matter since I cannot change the minds already made nor can they change mine. So, after the election, if my man loses, life will go on. The world will not end. If my man wins, the same thing will happen. So why waste your time banging on your keyboard for hours posting nasty, snide, and in most cases unverifiable comments. Relax and whatever will happen, will happen.

Did I miss the election? Has Obama already been elected? I wish someone would have announced that the Media was going to elect the President of the United States and the rest of us are just going to have to live with their decison.

Obama''s arrogance makes me very angry.

The Germans did not come to see Obama.They came to hear the band.

It`s funny (and a bit alarming) how quickly the US has forgotten Reagan and the Cold War. Remember when he spoke at the Berlin Wall?

As The National Review reports: "When [Reagan] went to the Berlin Wall before the Brandenburg Gate and spoke what has become the signature line of his presidency, entreating Mikhail Gorbachev to `tear down this wall,` it was greeted back home by the chattering class with rolled eyes and smirks. There he goes again."

Remember that? Remember how the US and Reagan were chided for their "cowboy mentality?" Why do we insist on making those same elitist mistakes?

I believe that history will look as kindly on the current Middle East situation as it does on Reagan and the Cold War. It doesn`t matter if you don`t believe this - just remember it and then in twenty years you can point it out to the current batch of apologists and buffoons.

What an absolutely amazing event. Who else could have brought over 200,000 people together to listen to an American speak.

To me, it says that people the world over are hungry for a strong leader to take the reigns and work with us to help us find a way to break down some of those walls that keep us prisoners in our old ways of thinking and looking at the world.

Obama sez: "Look at me, everybody. I am making a speech in Berlin just like JFK did. That must make me just like JFK, right?"

Barack talks about "bringing down walls between Europe and the U.S.". He fails to mention that he and the other Democrats are the ones who built those walls brick by brick in order to try to damage George Bush so they could get themselves elected.

Someone should hit the new Messiah in the head with his own brick.

Obama is cheered in Europe, but he will be booed and hissed at when he returns home.

Maybe he should stay in Europe?

They could crown him honorary King of Europe - his elitist attitude makes him a shoe-in for the part...

notblue, it always amazes me when one of you 26 per centers tries to put down the 67 per centers of this country by assuming (wrongly) that you know better than everyone else. Poor pathetic neo-con, your world view is based on what Bush and company have fed you over the last 8 years and not on reality. If the world still fears the almighty US, then why does Europe, Asia and the Middle East tell Bush to pissoff everytime he goes hat in hand begging for something?

True, Alot of Europeans came to see Obama, but they don''t get to vote for one-

For two-- they came, I can only imagine, because in their country it looks good to them - or- they were asked to come for something in return-

( THEY DID NOT DO THIS OUT OF COMPLETE SINCERITY)

Please, wake up- Americans- stop being so naive.

"There is nothing in that speech that is meaningful, insightful, or useful. It is a an amalgamation of liberal idealism and arrogant do-goodism."
