ABC News ^

(People of Berlin – people of the world – this is our moment. This is our time.)

I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

I firmly believe that when he says “this is our moment. This is our time”.....he is talking to his people.

Unlike Germany.

I honestly don't know which is scarier: the fact that Obama feels compelled to apologize for the country he seeks to lead, or the fact that he seeks its perfection.

I’m good and sick of this bastard, who’s accomplished exactly squat in his life, lecturing everybody else all the time. Put a sock in it, Hussein.

This appears to be a dangerous precedent....that a candidate for President giving a speech in a foreign country on policy...This should be reserved for the President’s cabinet or appointees. Truly this is out of order...if he wants to courtesy meet with foreign leaders then fine...not campaign or give speeches. The audacity of arrogance....ignoring protocol just like a tyrant would do.

"People of Berlin – and people of the world – the scale of our challenge is great. The road ahead will be long. But I come before you to say that we are heirs to a struggle for freedom."

I guess the Iraqis don't count in his "world" of struggle for freedom!

Obama identifies more with Europe than with America! That's not what you should hear am American presidential candidate open a speech with... the rest of it was leftist bromides. I think most people who heard it were turned off!

Obama is beyond sickening. Typical Marxist preaching to the Useful Idiots/Dupes.
