VIDEO: Obama's full speech in Berlin (full video)
OMG!!! This is wonderful. I lived in Berlin long enought to see Reagan's "Mr. Gorbechev, tear down this wall!" speech, and then Bill Clinton a few years later(I was interviewed on the street by ARD-TV with Clinton's!).

But I would have given up both of those opportunities to see this one! Unfortunately, I'm in New York right now.

ENJOY!!!

3. JFK's speech was nothing compared to this...
I heard JFK's speech live when it happened and as wonderful as it was, it was a footnote compared to this. This is a man who is a teacher as well as an inspirer. This is a man who has a clear grasp of history. This is a guy who is not afraid to challenge us. I am just blown away by this and the ease by which this man sets us straight. I have rock solid republican friends who have told me that Obama's speech in Berlin brought them to tears. This man is a national treasure and if we don't manage to elect him in November, this old lady may take to the streets! He is just what we need right now, no...he is a necessity.

7. I am especially proud...
...that America's first African American president will likely go down in history as one of the greatest presidents we ever had. I say this as a middle-aged white guy.

8. Wonderful! Thanks for posting the link!
I read the speech at work, and have seen a few clips since I got home. I'm looking forward to watching him deliver the entire speech.

12. That was incredible!
He continues to amaze me with his speeches.
This is definitely one of the best.
He is setting a very very high bar for future candidates and presidents.
