Word search: He mentioned "Kennedy" four times. He did not mention "Reagan" at all . . . That would be President Reagan, the first person actually to negotiate a reduction in nuclear arms.

There was one VERY ODD MOMENT in the speech. After mentioning the wall several times, he used it metaphorically to represent the walls between people everywhere, but, at one point . . . and perhaps this was just poor writing . . . he used the world wall in this sentence: "Thats what makes us who we are, and thats what makes us different from those on the other side of the wall." This remark came seven full paragraphs after the metaphorical use of the word "wall" and thus, sounded like he was talking about the real wall, as if it still existed. And the irony is, he was speaking on the East Berlin side of the gate. Almost a Freudian slip, as if saying "Ich Bin ein Communist."

I think that Obama can only mention Democrat presidents when talking about past presidents and what they had done.
Republican presidents can only be mentioned if the intent is to criticize them.

...and remember, ignore those voices that tell you 'tyranny is right around the corner'!

Ich bin ein muslim made a total fool of himself. He removed his jacket and proceeded to act like a rock star, not a president. You can clearly see he should have remained a community organizer. His attempt to channel Reagan and Kennedy were just another failure in a LONG line of failures.
He’s a joke with no punchline!

As Ive said, Angela and I dont exactly look like previous German and American leaders
What a puny man.
Still not comfortable in his own skin after shaving it for some 40 years and looking at in the mirror for 50+.
Sad, sad, sad.
Usually by middle you accept yourself.

You guys need to cut him some slack. The sun was in his eyes. At least that’s what Chris Matthews said. :-D

Obviously written by a speech writer and read off a teleprompter.
I don’t care what this phoney fraud says.

There has been only one other tyrant in history whose picture I have seen of which Obama’s arrogant pose reminds me. That man was Benito Mussolini - IL DUCE [in this pose it is amended - IL DOUCHE]

As long as he's on German soil he should be comparing himself to Sgt Schultz, since he knows nothing about anything happening at the IRS or in Benghazi or with wiretapping....

Could have saved a lot of money. Put the speech on a thumb drive with a NSA welcome page. Have a local pass it out to interested Germans.
