His Ich bin ein Berliner speech Translation: "I am a jelly doughnut." The Germans mocked him for that speech.

I lived four years in Berlin (1983-87)while the wall was still up. Yes there was joking about the phrase, but believe me, JFK was and is revered by most Germans, including the woman I married. Many cities in Germany have streets, squares, etc. named after JFK. He is far from being a mocked figure.

How many have streets named after Reagan?

Shows you what the Germans know.
