Obama's speech in Berlin

Obama: New walls need tearing down - CNN.com


Honestly, even if McCain makes it in the end, I doubt he will ever have the opportunity to deliver such a speech, under such circumstances, in such a convincing manner.

It appears that many (maybe most) people even didn't get on the place at the Siegessaeule, for security measures took quiete some time. Nevertheless, tens of thousands were there. Not few of of them US citizens, some people from Australia, or from other European countries. I have seen some of John McCain's performances as a speaker, and I have to say that I think he s*cks when he's delivering speeches.

Oh god, I just hope Obama makes it. I had doubts about Kerry right from the start, but what I just have seen in TV convinces me that Obama will make it, unless he hasn't some other skeletons in the closet or some freak-terror-attack levels an american city.
