Various | 24 July 2008

[SE Mom]

Obama is scheduled to speak in Berlin at the Victory Column sometime between 1 and 1:30 Eastern.

All cable networks will cover the speech, live.

[tapatio]

Wow his biggest applause was when he said “Bring this war to a close”!

[Dinah Lord]

Bring this war to a close brings down the house and the first OBAMA chant.

What a bunch of dumkopfs

[Texas4ever]

His speech writers obviously did not check with a German before approving this message. I can tell the crowd is not overly impressed by his words. I think they are more sophisticated than this so called HomeBoy

[britt reed]

Is Leni there filming for posterity?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Kennedy- “I AM a Berliner!”

A caller to Rush reminds us that what Kennedy said actually translated to "I am a jelly donut".

[SE Mom]

I’m right with you.

But...but...”THIS IS THE MOMENT”.....

[txhurl]

Well, you and every other freeper can move to Texas.

We’ll secede and let the Messiah try to ‘come and take it’.

[macamadamia]

I’m serious. Reading through this whole speech, what the hell is Obama doing making it?? Does the Iron Curtain need to come down again? Is Obama standing against the evil empire? WHAT?! This is a joke!!! WHAT IS THE POINT??!!


Same here! I don't get it. It is surreal.

[Mom MD]

Most Germans speak english
I don’t think it is a language barrier

[Jedidah]

LET US RESOLVE THAT THIS IDIOT NEVER SET FOOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE!

OK, FReepers?

No matter how much you hate John McCain, we can’t let Obama happen.

[Canedawg]

“This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands.”

He is the obamamessiah!

[JustaCowgirl]

“...and support the Palestinians who seek a secure and lasting peace.”

Huh?

“This is the moment when we must come together to save our planet.”

This guy wants to take over the world, I swear.

What’s that ? Dress rehearsal for Denver arena speech LOL

[Miss Didi]

RUSH: In a shocking 2007 video, Barack Obama promised a leftist group that he would disarm the United States.

Obama Vows to Disarm America

[bamagirl1944]

Picture was probably taken in the ghettos of Chicago

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Sorry all, I have to quit listening. It’s the kind of speech I would walk out on as a complete waste of time unless it was a friend or relative giving it.

[Dinah Lord]

It was reported that the campaign were going to be filming the event for a commercial to be aired later in the campaign...

this is bad. it’s just like a cookie cutter speech.

[AmericaUnited]

And what’s with that scowl and finger pointing as he speaks? It’s so freaking arrogant.

This little puke is more like scolding and lecturing...

[charles m]

Yeah, something like 80% of Germans speak English, the ones who don’t are old (and aren’t in Obama’s audience).

[onemiddleamerican]

Did he just say “defeat the deadly atom”?

Indeed, he did.

I think he's talking about the trans-fat atom.
