i dont understand why People here talk so neagtive about his Speech in Berlin. The Friendship between USA and Germany is a old Friendship and really important for us. and we waiting so long for a President who work for this Friendship. That has nothing to do with , the want to be the german President.
I am from East Germany, i lived 19 Years behind the Wall. I know what it means to fight for Freedom. But most People can not understand this.

All those people, inspired, filled with hope and ambition to unite the world, under one man, Obama. It is a shame that people on this blog show hate towards this event. This was not to benifit his campaign, or to diss McCains campaign, this was to unite the world. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. This was highly inspirational!
Obama/Sebelius 08′

presidential!

Oh my goodness, it must be splendid to be so naive.

Go, Obama, go! You make us proud!

To: Mexican American in Texas…..Please tell me what you base your opinion on…you sound just like the racist whites who are against him…I am sure you are one of those Mexican's that show you to be white on your birth certificate as so many of you do…so if you know not who you are, I don't expect you to know who Obama is or what he stands for.also, you sound like you are using someone else's words instead of your own..possibly something you heard and it sounded good to you…further don't confuse the intelligence of Obama as arrogance…thats what white folks say….If you think he gave anything other than an excellent speech in Berlin…you need to give much thought to who u really are and what u really think…Obama '08

To Mexican American in Texas

I guess you don't know to many latinos ha!!!

this man is poised to be the Next President and No fear Mongering will stop that

I see a great diplomat in Obama. When McCain speaks I want to go to sleep!!!

Obama is a leader because he is uniting the U.S. with the world. Getting shot down in a plane doesnt not prove leadership. The others who disregard Obama's ability to lead are either ignorant, in denial, or do not want to see America prosper.

Europeans might not be the ones voting for our President be they will be our allies in this global environment.

Obama '08.

HOPE is alive! Great job Obama! OBAMA '08!!!!

OBAMA YOU MAKE AFRICA AND THE WHOLE WORLD VERYYYYY PROUD

Jim Blanco said:
Hussein Obama sells his country down the tubes for a citizenship in the global community… sounds like redistribution of wealth to me. If he and the Euros are so in love with one another, maybe he should stay there.
Hey libs, why is it that your messiah Hussein Obama gets the overwhelming majority of press coverage and the benefit of a Pro-Obama PSYOP campaign vehicled by the American media, yet he is still tied in the polls with McCain?
******************************************

Dear Jim,
Obama didn't sell his country. Bush did.
And Obama gets so much press coverage because he makes sure to always have something newsworthy to be reported. McCain has yet to learn the media game.

After reading through all the comments I realized that Americans are so dumb.

…meanwhile…

Senator John McCain gives a "riveting" speech at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a "new" Chevy dealership in East Podunk, Ohio…

This Just In…McCain declares "Just Sign and Drive…If you've got a job, you've got a car…" at the event, dubbed the "McCain Sale-O-Bration."

Wow! So many comments, so little thought… sometimes.
I think it is great that Obama shows the world his face. Of course Germany loves him because anything is better than George Bush. Germany has seen the horrors of war and since the beginning of the Iraq War, they have lost faith in American foreign policy. (We still don't understand the "Defend our country" stuff, since you really have never been attacked by another country) Obama's appearance in Germany (and other major players in Europe later on this week) shows that he is willing to work peacefully with countries. Many Americans do not realize how important the American President is to the world community (the fact of the matter is that most Germans know who is running for President in the U.S., but Americans couldn't say the same about Germany.) The Iraq War is just one example of how American decisions influence Planet Earth as a whole and I think it's great that Obama introduces himself to other countries around the world as a potential leader of the one and only superpower.
I also think it's time for the world to love America again. I certainly do and this great country deserves better than the image it has right now. I am not American, but I love this country and its people (well, I guess not all of them). I just wish my fellow countrymen now better understand why I made the decision to come to America. People like Obama allow the world to see the United States' potential.
@Bond_Dallas: Actually every German is required to learn English in 3rd grade and the vast majority of Germans under the age of 50 is fluent in English. Just letting you know.

100,000 people in Berlin cheered Obama – and many waved the American flag! Beat that McSame.

This is who we need as President of the free world.

ALL LATINOAMERICANS WILL VOTE FOR BARRACK OBAMA FOR SURE HE IS DEFINETELY VERY PRESIDENTIAL

MEXICANS WILL VOTE FOR JOHN MACAINWARMONGER AS THEY ARE VIOLENT AND DANGEROUS.

A poll taken today in Germany , states that 57 % would not prefer a cult like leader like Obama , but rather a leader that has solid commitment to issues with substance and a record of achievement.
12 % said that they didn't know enough about Obama .
Perhaps Europeans are smarter and more astute when it comes to their politics.

I know that the hate will come out a plenty but I am proud to see an American welcomed with open arms overseas. This country has been represented by an unknowing, arrogant man and it is time for a change in this country that Barack will bring.

Speech in Berlin was great like the others as always. The message was at staging phase to restore America's credebility in the eye of the world. Our allies across the ocean would welcome the diplomatic efforts, understanding for a common cause as promised by Senator Obama on behalf of the American people. There is no other way to tackle the global problems that affects the civilized human beings without casualities. McCain snores while Obama soars!!!!

I just don’t understand why republican just leave hateful messages. Specially this Idiot guy Mike. Are you guys full of hates? Your accusations are baseless anyways. Obama is in a foreign country and gave a nice speech. He is there as a US representative. His speech will improve our image world wide. You want to criticize him, do that on something else when he is back. Does republicans know anything beside criticizing opponent???

Wow, Liz, pay attention. There was a Ticker story on the heckling. One person among all those at the wall. McCain can't even get through one of his controlled-attendee town meetings without behind heckled.

Let me get this straight! I guy raised by a single parent makes his way to Harvard law school where he presides over the Harvard law review board and goes on to be a constitutional law professor at Harvard. This same guy leaves Harvard to become a Community organizer on the south side of Chicago; one of the most tough communities in America. He later wins a seat in the Chicago legislature where he sits for five years before winning a bid to the United States senate. He pens two books, runs for president as a virtual unknown, reinvents campaign finance, and dismantles the campaign one of Americas most recognized and beloved politicians. Then to make matters worse this same guy tours the world to worldwide adoration and respect. I think I agree with the bloggers; he has no experience, as a matter of fact anyone of us blogging, opinionated, internet darlings could wake up tomorrow armed with a great speech and do all this man has done? Don’t be silly, sometimes the proof is in the pudding. Although, when dealing with backward logic that says hey I loved Hillary; therefore I will trash all that her and the DEMS stand for to vote for McCain. Consequently, if Barack Obama does not add Hillary to his ticket as Vice President I will never vote for him, because “this is not a popularity contest, it is about the issues!”

Ugh! Are some of you really this dense?

Biffington your comment is BS. I hate to tell you but Obama is fixing to be elected by the TYPICAL White Person. And to let you know your comment was a very RACIST one. You seem to forget that America is over 65% white and it will take the Majority of White People for Obama to be elected. Obama will be elected president. Americans both White and Minority is TIRED of the Old School White elitist crap of the Bush's and the Clintons of Wahington DC. Great Change is COMING and the Elitists see it coming, and they are scared!!!

***Will, NJ: Oh my god! Look at how arrogant he is, asking the world to unite under a banner of peace! His highly motivating speeches disgust me! PUMA!****

Well, McWalking Cane looks to be perfect for you, being completely unmotivating and all…PUMA = Pathetic!!!

Wonderful speech!

He's really starting to overstep his bounds as a mere senator. This worries me. If he is elected who knows what he'll try to do that isn't within his legal boundaries.

Yes, a good speaker like paster wright, a good civil right activitist like King, but NOT a good candidate as President of USA.

Why is it that Obama is aarogant because he is articulate, poised and confident. If this was MCCain it would be what? Stop all the hateration and get with the program.

Obama continues to add to his presidental statue both here in the United States and the global stage….for isn't the world but a "stage" and each of us plays our part.

Many Americans do not appreciate this rock star world tour and the media bias has become propaganda, which frightens Americans.

Also, how come it is not being reported that Germany had to pay more than 1/2 million of their own money to have Obama as a guest in their land. A lot of people do not appreciate that. And it has not gone unnoticed that Obama chose Hitler's famous Victory Column as a speech site. Bad idea.

P.U.M.A.

Join Us.

This is the most proud I've felt of being an American for years. The world is watching for us to make the right choice-Obama 2008

OBAMA / BIDEN '08
OBAMA/ HAGEL '08
OBAMA / GORE '08

ANYWAY YOU LOOK AT IT…OBAMA WINS…CHANGE IS ON THE WAY FOLKS!

McCain the war hero… is that all you've got? What about leadership?
It didn't bother you that Bush skirted his service or that Kerry was swiftboated… the McCain you people want ran in 2000. This 2008 version is BUSH!

To my Latino naysayers – when will you learn… How has the GOP/ McCain benefited you? You must be knee-deep in all the Economic, Healthcare, Taxes and Environmental surpluses therefore you shouldn't be whining – huh?!

Obama 08

umm you sound very angry texas dog,, u related to mccain?,, you must like mccains lies cos that what they are,, i bet you voted for bush too,, explains it all,, go obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here comes the republican, "Isn't he running for the POTUS" stupidity.

This is why people hate Americans. We disregard everybody else's views and opinions then we ask them to support us when we start a senseless war. You people need to be re-programmed. Having an intelligent, literate president that our allies respect is a good thing!!!!!

Oh, Mr. Wanna-be-president-so-bad-it's pathetic: We'll stand together, but not with you! You can't get us out of the chaos Bush created. You are not the best candidate for the job. Sorry.

"People of the world — look at Berlin, where a wall came down, a continent came together, and history proved that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one," Obama said this in Berlin

A wall is going up in Israel….Mr. Obama, tear down this wall….

Hypocrite, phony, fake. A complete rookie acting like he's up to the challenge of being the leader of the free world.

Anybody can make a fake, pompous speech telling people what they want to hear.

This guy doesn't deserve to be president, but he may deserve an Oscar.

Awesome…..He gave all Americans a worldly vision of pride today.

hey Will,
god forbid we should unite under a banner of peace!!! blasphemy!! you are the devil incarnate my friend! lol rediculous some people are still thinking this way!!! and to you PUMAS, the better candidate won… not one who even bickers at her own party when they won't take her suggestions, ref: '92.

OBAMA '08

It is amazing how you have people in this country who get pscrewed (politically, that is) day in day out and don't even realize it. They have been fed so much crap by people who thrive on planting and encouraging divisions among people that they would rather listen to fools like Rush Limbaugh (who makes $400m for talking crap) or silly Sean Hannity in order to find out what is best for them and for america. Seriously people, why are you so willing to be used so easily?. It is like you're blinded by your ignorance or unwilingliness to be objective and seriously listen to both sides of the argument or at the least use your common sense. It doesn't matter what candidate or party you want in office, but at least your decision should be based on substance and not just simple partisanship or hatred. I mean think about, let's for a moment dissect what John McCain has been saying for the last three days. Can anyone really claim that what is talking about makes sense at all, the surge, drop of crude oil price being because of George B, Barack wanting to lose a war, does any of this make sense at all? I think next thing we'll start hearing America is going to win more gold medals at the upcoming Olyimpics because of the surge!!!!!!!!

the haters are at it again.

It really shocks me that almost 1/2 of this country still supports the republican party after 8 yrs of destroying everything this country stands for.

Everyone who says he is an empty suit, Obama is in Germany, do you want him there talking about health care ? About our economy ? I doubt the world wants to know that… he made a brilliant speech and you all know it…

I am just back after Senator Obamas speech here in Berlin and wanted to read al your comments. Please take two issues into consideration. The world does not end in LA or NY and not only Americans have died in Afghanistan or Iraq, but also Britain, Australians and as far as Afghanistan is concerned also Germans. Though grow up and take a map of the world in order to see the full picture. BTW, I am German.

When Germany the other countries in Europe start paying on their WWI and WWII debt , support our efforts agains the Islamic Jihadists,
and start paying for their own defense. (Get the Troops out of Germany) then and only then should we listen to what they have to say.

Want to know what is going on in Europe check out the websites showing the Muslims taking over London, and Paris….Is that what you want for us too.

all hail, the messiah speaketh!!!!

At first i though it was unfair the way he got all this biased media coverage,but now im happy that speech and spectacle is a nail in his innsugnificent political career.lol not the effect he was lookin for.

Just beautiful, Senator Obama. It's so nice, for once, to not be ashamed of being an American.

Excellent speech, Obama talked alot about bringing people together of all races and all countries. Watch out old man McCain, you warmonger, there is no way you could ever top this, not with all your war talk and keeping conflicts going.

All of you haters wish McCain could speak for 5 minutes without forgetting what he is saying. I can't wait for the first debate. We will all see how he can't take his eyes off of the teleprompter, without talking jibberish.

bill for barack, what is free about talks of increased taxes, social programs and globalism? This man is a socialist. Socialism is the greatest enemy of a nation that was founded on one freedom. "The freedom from government."

I find it interesting that Barack Obama spoke "not as a candidate for the Presidency of the United States" but as a "Citizen of the World". This shows where his heart is. Meanwhile, john mcSAME "stands by his comment that Senator Obama would rather win an election than win the war" and looks all the more like the politician of old- Promote fear, hate and negativity and hope that it works. NOT THIS TIME repugs! Senator Obama is the next President and will lead our Country back to it's rightful place as the beacon on a hill shinning her light for all the world to see.
I can't wait until Januray 20, 2009.

When Obama goes to Europe thousands gather waiving American flags when Bush goes to Europe thousands gather waiving protest banners. McSame will be Bush term 3

Ooooweeeee, the bitter cynics are out in force today!! What's wrong, no grocery store opening for McCain to campaign at?

Will someone please take this idiot back to Chicago!?

I'm really trying hard but I just don't get it. I must be missing something because I don't see what is so great about his speech that hasn't already been said.

And he's not even the President yet. He's holding his speeches in check. Just wait until he's da man. Now, is Obama ready for the world scene? The man is so deep, until I, a grown man cries when I hear him give a speech. WOW!!!!

A great american idol pandering event indeed…..only thing missing was Paula, Randy and Simon giving their critics afterward….and Ryan repeating the text messaging numbers to voters.

Oh yes, this is no marketing campaign…no orchestrated image strategy….no artificialness to it at all!…NOT!

No thanks, give me the old guy who's got grey hair and war scars…with little rock star appeal. I need a leader to run my country…not a politican idol who likes to hear and watch himself on TV.

As far as all you nuts calling him Mr. President. He is not the president yet, (matter fact he isn't the official democrat nominee yet.) The Germans and europe will not pick our president and neither will the Obama nut Jobs. The american people will decide whether we elect this self -centered , flip flopping, hate america socialist. He might get elected but it will not be through the five voting adults in this household.

Hey Praetorian, Fort Myers… it's obvious that you really are a paid RNC staffer, regurgitating the GOP party line… along with:

Typical White Person
Texas Trail Dog
Brian from Knoxville (Notfallinginline.org)
and
Charlotte

I apologize for leaving a few of you others out, I'll catch up with you later…

Not one word or an attack on McCain. Just inspirational words designed to unite a world.

For the people who are saying, "they're just words." That's all any politician has. Our politicians can inspire people to work together and unite for the common good or they can misspeak and divide a globe and force the US to go it alone.

I'm tired of going it alone!

Praetorian, From Fort Myers Put up or shut up!!

Do your American duty you nasty leg, vote for the candidate you
feel that represents what you stand for. Your constant babbling
is reminiscent of many cowardly individuals that share your same
lame duck rhetoric which does nothing too advocate the American Dream!

Your Comment:
It sure wasn't diplomacy that brought down the Berlin Wall–in case Mr. Obama hasnt' read up on the "cold war error".

No it was brave Men and Women of many Nationalities working
together militarily as well as politically to defeat communism
which brought an end to the Cold War!

I'm a decorated combat soldier that swore to defend America
from enemies domestic and abroad, my question too you is
what sacrifice have you made for this great nation!!

And for all you fake bloggers pretending to be Latinos who
unconditionally adore McCain, ask your brother and Sisters
in Arizona what he has done for their communities NADA!

Who put the ICAN in amerICAN the 82nd you Legs!!

So i see alot of people on here posting Unity….coming together……working as one….but then we have a segment on Black in America…..a show that is seperating and completely going against what we all need right now!!!

Lets show a segment on america coming together….or American coming together with the rest of the world nations!!
that sounds good.

But I thought Obama's speech was good.

Just watched THE speech. Not only is this arrogant, condescending man running for President of the USA, he appears to desire coronation as King of the World. I intend to vote for a President of the USA, not of Germany, France, etc. As a Danish-American (I only use this term because hyphenated ethniticy seems to be the politically correct rule of the day) I was offended by the backdrop which denotes the enslavement and occupation of Denmark (and many other nations) by the Prussians. If Obama does not win in November a suggestion would be to go back to Chicago and community organize something to stop the runaway crime in that city.!

Texas Trail Dog are you sure you're not George Bush, playing around with your computer? You sly dog.

Obama 08

How nice it is to try to get America back in track as the leader of the free world. How can anyone fault Obama for his speech to trying to unite the world. I am tired of our "leaders' scaring us into giving up our rights and our economy…

Why would anyone want to vote for someone who cannot remember time lines, is always refering to his opponent in the negative, and knows nothing about the economy? Give Bush credit for lowering oil prices by $10? I guess it wasn't his fault though, for oil jumping up to $140….

McCain, let's try to run a clean campaign. Who would have thought that the only "Straight Talk" we hear from him is his anti-gay, right wing rhetoric.

Go Obama!

That's my President.

It will be good to have the sincere friendship of the world once again. Thank you President elect Obama for taking a thankless job.

Man I feel sorry for all you haters out there.
I really do.
Your lives must be very miserable.
A sad, sad bunch you are!

Oh I can't wait, I want to call him Mr. President now, today, this minute. We've been stuck with the sorriest man on the planet for too long and I want change.

Obama 08

What now McSenile? Bet you wish you kept your mouth shut about him going overseas. Go back and have a bbq and take a power nap. Let Obama do the leading. You just go on and retire on your beer money.

Obama/Sebelius 2008/2012.

Obama did an amazing job today. It brings a smile to my face to hear all this repubs crying thier eyes out and screaming negative after negative. "like baby chipmunk you are scared of anything different, ricky booby."

An American in Berlin saying: yes, we made mistakes. That is very impressive. Mr. Obama gives hope, and gains trust, deservedly. He's got much more than political expertise, he's got the heart. Something a lot of people over here have been missing from America during the last couple of years. You stick with this guy. He may be young, but he's right. On the spot…

Looks like Obama is once again bringing the same old supporters to tears of joy and jubilation… all 6 of them… people on the ticker should try changing their sig sometime.

This is the man I want reestablishing our place in the world.

Obama 08/12

" Ich bin ein Frankfurter ". Leave it to the Germans to fall for another charismatic charlotten. Wonder if they'll be watching his " torch-light " rally in Denver…

It would feel good to have the sincere friendship of world nations again. Thank you President elect Obama for taking a thankless job.

Mr. Obama nailed it, I feel so much pride to be an American. Great speech, Obama 08. Too bad the Bush Administration ordered the Federal workers in Germany to stay away from the speech. Now who is the dictator?

Too much negativity in this board. If you don't want Obama, you don"t want Obama, then vote for McCain and leave us alone who'll vote for Obama. Exercice your freedom as we do ours.

WE'RE STANDING TOGETHER RIGHT NOW, BUD, AND IT'S TO GET RID OF YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL. McCAIN, McCAIN, McCAIN 08

In your face Bush and McSame!

Dare to top this?

HOPE IS ON THE WAY AMERICA…HOPE IS ON THE WAY!

why do we need and election our brillant uniter not a divider is amoungst us we can now do his bidding I am clay shape me mold me we don't need no stinkin Constitution Barack has arrived OH what delite WHAT A LOAD OF BULLCRAP I want Hillary the only one that has her feet on the ground PUMA

who does he think he is lecturing the world like this. he said "we" need to fight climate change.well guess what obama.we are signed up to kyoto and have ambitous legally binding targets(care to join us?), you are anti-nafta so preach lifting the poor of bangladesh out of poverty whilst you consign those in mexico to it to win votes in the rustbelt .you preach to a non nuclear power like germany that they need to" work together" with america(who have the largest nuclear arsenal) to make are world safe. this speech could have been made by bush ie all sizzle no steak as you say across the pond

I think Bushshould just let Obama take over from here…

Touching, powerful and hopeful speech delivered by Obama…

Hopefully he can make the world LOOK UP to us like they did 10 yrs ago and no longer look down on us as a nation of war driven citizens and politicians.

GO OBAMA !!!

Everything that comes out of Obama's mouth is so eloquent, so articulate and so substantial! I as an American am SO VERY PROUD to have him represent us globally! The only word we ever hear come out of John McCain's mouth is "SURGE"…. if I hear him say it one more time, I will definitely "purge"!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!!!

Why no mention that His Majesty flubbed up and declared that he was on the Senate Banking Committee during his speech? Note to Nobama. You are on four committees. That's not one of them. More resume pading?

Barack's 7 additional states:

The state of determination
The state of humility
The state of integrity
The state of friendship
The state of morality
The state of gratitude
The state of unity

Obama 08

To the dimwit who asked why taxpayers are paying for this trip….they are not. Those who donate to Obama, people like me, are paying for the trip. The only expense to taxpayers are the secret service, which both candidates get. They would be paying those secret service agents no matter where he was. They ride on his plane, again paid by his supporters. The campaign feeds them and pays their hotel rooms.

Obama 08

Thank you Berlin!!!

Way to go Bam!

That is the problem now . We give more tothe world then they do us. We need to put america first . As far as Obama apologizing for america he can speak for himself. He does not have to apologize for my father and uncles fighting Hitler and winning the war. I am proud of them and the rest of america doing what they had to do to stop Hitler.As far as nuclear weapons let europe and the united states listen to the fool . I guarrantee you that the mideast countrys and russia or not going to. The ones without the nukes will be the countrys with no power. If europe really likes the "Black Messiah" then they can keep him and maybe our biases press can stay. Our press is kind of like the communist press, they don't report the facts and news they give you Propoganda they favor.

Can anyone on this blog imagine John McCain speaking to 100,000 people anywhere and making sense?

There is only 1 Presidential candidate this year. Over 40% still support the Republican party but I doubt very many support John McCain.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Barack Obama is a true leader.

Sen. McCain has shown this week that he has the wrong policies about everything, that he is totally inflexible in his policies and that all he and his supporters can do is whine. His comments about Iraq don't even make sense anymore. (He never made sense on the economy.) He couldn't even make a photo op at an oil rig because he didn't want cameramen to see a large oil spill nearby.

Sen. Obama, on the other hand, went on a trip at McCain's urging and was greeted everywhere — by American troops, by American workers in the State Dept. and by citizens of the world — as America's next president.

This man makes me proud to be an American!

God help us all…
Can you really call this guy brilliant because he sways his head left to right and left to right almost like a bobblehead laid sideways. He's reading the telemprompters people – he doesn't look straight or even out to the crowd. Not even his own words… words you can Xerox.

Wake up morons. He is a puppet and the leftist lunatics are controlling the strings… "dance, Obama, dance".

NEVER OBAMA!!!!

Mike from Surrey. Im afraid you're wasting your time. Having an educated dialogue with some of these neocon American knuckleheads is like talking to a brick wall. One can only hope that come November 51% of the electorate has an IQ above 100.

How are you people applauding this? Don't you see that globalism is part of this CFR lacky's agenda? A vote for Obama is a vote against our national soverignty. This man has no intention of maintaining the Republic. Sometimes change and taking down walls aren't good ideas.

As a black immigrant to US, seeing and hearing Senator today making this powerful and moving speech brought me to tears. I am proud as an American and blackman today. Go Obama

This is a free society, Its not like they were forced to stay and listen to Senator Obama. I watched the speech, and the faces of the people as they were listening. They were truly inspired by what he had to say.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

There is something called destiny. Many folks have tried to belittle and derail Senator Obama but they are hitting a concrete wall. There comes a time when history is made in a significant and against all odds. I cried once again, watching Sen. Obama today. With him, we are going to be headed in the right direction. We certainly can't do any worse than we have the past 8 years. Sen. Obama, we continue to pray for you as you march forward. Party at my house on November 5.

You people who are still supporting McSame need to wake up! Obama has the vision to not only inspire citizens in our own country to take part in rebuilding our economy and reputation in the world, but inspire people in other countries to support our policies and trust us again. The only thing that McSame inspires me to do is to go take a nap because I'm tired of hearing his incoherent babbling.

Thank God it is the People of the United States that vote for President.

This man is not even The Candidate of his party yet and pompously parades himself around the world. I am glad that the Germans and
the Arabs love him I only wish they would keep him.

Let me make it perfectly clear THIS PRETENDER WILL NOT BE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES….Not this election not in the
future either. Americans of all Races know better. We love our country too much to put someone with no experience in power.

Im tired of people talking about the surge as a reason to not vote for Obama. The surge did not work completely. I dont care what the news feeds you. The surge was suppose to last for 8 months. Its going on for 2 years. it was suppose to be so the Iraqi's could come together politically and satisfy certain requirements…which some still havent happened. But on a side note: How many people who talk about the surge care about the military not seeing their family, or repeat deployments, higher divorce rates, etc. Maybe people forgot the reason we went to War has been proven false…so we wouldnt have needed the surge if people wouldve thought smartly from the beginning.

Now people are saying that because Obama did exactly what McCain didnt think he could do…he is wrong for that. Why, because he didnt bomb? Its sad that Obama unites people and McCain wants WAR!.

Im in the military and would never vote for anyone that is so much a War monger as McCain. I appreciate that he served his country, but that doesnt make him presidential material

That speech was wonderful! "I Love America!"

Obama haters,

Just so you know he (Obama) has 10 years of ELECTED public service. Bush, had no where near that and ruined our once great nation.

Give this man a chance. If, in 4 years, he has done nothing – ELECT someone else. This is how our Federal Republic works!

If he can deliver on just 1/3 of his promises our nation can begin it's economic and foreign relations healing. It's going to take 20 years to repair what Bush did to our nation in just 8 short years. His policies have ruined the lives of millions of people.

Our nation is for sale to the highest bidder. Only Obama can take it off the market.

CNN PLEASE STOP POST OF PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO REPRESENT A GROUP OF PEOPLE (Typical White Person) OR WILL YOU POST MINE IF i CALL MYSELF LEADER OF GOD'S PEOPLE!
I WOULD HOPE NOT.
I AM WHITE AND HE IS NOT TYPICAL OF THE WHITE PEOPLE I KNOW!

a campaign speech on tax-payer dollars given in a place that remembers another cult hero hitler in front of a crowd there because of a concert.A no substaince speech in front of people who cheered 9/11 with the same enthusism.im glad to see there are others with brains who see right through him.after reading all these brainless robots sing this morons praises for one of the most boring say nothing speeches ever given.I think its safe to say thoug that lookin at polls this trip didnt have the effect the golden boy wanted.He is unelectable no matter how much the liberal fascist media pushes this tomatoe can.matter of fact the more they push the more america rejects him.WE are electing a president of the united states not the united nations(a failed organisation).We want a citezen of the united states not a citezen of a crazy america hating world.

It is so refreshing, after 8 years of hearing nothing other than fear mongering and hate, to hear something inspiring. We know we will get more of the same from John McCain but starting off fresh is the only hope for this country! I will take my chances on anything better than what we have and what we will get from Mc Same.

GREAT SPEECH!

GO OBAMA

It's nice to see foreigners for once cheering for anything American. "Death to America" wears thin after a while.

BTW, I thought Obama did a great job.

I find it odd that Obama, the "anti-war" candidate, chose to give his campaign speech in front of the Victory Column, erected by the Germans to celebrate their military victories over the Danes, French and Austrians in three separate WARS. Other than that, he did a good job of reading someone else's words from a teleprompter.

Hussein Obama sells his country down the tubes for a citizenship in the global community… sounds like redistribution of wealth to me. If he and the Euros are so in love with one another, maybe he should stay there.

Hey libs, why is it that your messiah Hussein Obama gets the overwhelming majority of press coverage and the benefit of a Pro-Obama PSYOP campaign vehicled by the American media, yet he is still tied in the polls with McCain?

FOR THE RECORD, THE SELMA MARCH OCCURRED IN 1965, 4 YEARS AFTER OBAMA'S AFTERBIRTH INCIDENT… SO OBAMA LIED TO YOU!!!!!!

The world is always willing to stand behind the United States–just as long as the U.S. accepts most of the costs and most of the risk.

Go home–come back when you've gotten a reality check kid.

Wow, you know it was a successful speech when the bitterness from Republican posters goes off the scale!

To all you haters, your anger right now only confirms that Obama's speech was a success, and that his popularity throughout the world is something that McCain can never compete with.

America is supposed to be the leader of the free world. And anyone who wants to be the leader of America, is also campaigning to be the leader of the free world. So yes, it DOES matter what other countries think of our leaders if we want to maintain our status in the world.

His speech was good but not nearly as eloquent as Bush's "Wall Street got drunk" or "Childrens do learn" . Obama can only dream to verbalize like that!

I have seen a lot of sick people but you Obama sheep take the cake.
I hope I am never that weak minded.

And I call for those speech writers to stop writing speeches so we don't have to listen to their puppet boy.

Not qualified and not informed! The debates proved who knows the facts and is most trustworthy.

PUMA's for Hill (McCain it will have to be)

"And oh BTW why are taxpayers paying for Obama's trip??? This is ridiculous…"

PLEASE TELL US WHY????

My next president made me so proud today. I challenge America to think of another candidate who could have done what he just did.

I love the fact that change is in the air.

Go Barack, make us proud.

USA

Superb.

Our next President.

HOPE IS ON THE WAY AMERICA! HOPE IS ON THE WAY!

THE GREAT NOBAMA has brainwashed CNN and tons of voters…the USA is going down.

There has never been a more frightening man to run for President then Obama. If he is elected the entire world will falls with the US first. I just return from a 3rd world country and it was part of the berlin wall that came down and these people have nothing. It is as though they are living 15 centuries back in time. This is what Mr. Obama wants for America. Blacks want him because he is black and I can understand that but beware of wolves in sheep clothing. He is a very dangerous man No hisapanic will vote for him and not many whites and without Clinton no women. Mrs. Clinton should not take second to him she should have been first. She should wait until next time.
AMERICA WAKE UP "DON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA"

Well done Barack! It was a beautiful speech!

When will we g-r-o-w up? When will we understand the futility of our endeavors and put childish things behind us? This business of political correctness needs a rest – a lot of rest. We make jokes and we laugh yet we have no idea what we are doing to ourselves. It is time for serious change. Furthering the hatred of individual color will be our demise.
For years, to identify an American, we continue to stoop to a new low by tagging whatever to those that are not white; this incessant practice is inane. An American, be it black, white, red, brown, yellow, purple, whatever, is still an American no matter how one chooses to think. To state the obvious furthers alienation among those that wish to be identified as originating from some country of historical origin. What is the big deal? Is it because of our ego? In this day and age, is it that important to state what we are? We are human beings, as such; we need to treat each other with respect and dignity.

"It's only Europe," I expect his opponents will say (are saying). This is America, and we're too smart (or something) to elect a guy admired by the rest of the world. In fact, if THEY like him, that's a good reason to vote against him. Let's vote for the other guy–you know, the one even we don't much like. That'll show those snooty Europeans they can't push us around with their adulation of an American Presidential candidate!

Somewhere, Michelle is saying, "For the first time in my life, I am proud of Germany".

BHO is a socialist!!

Great Speech!!!

I had time to watch because I gave the McBush my grocery list and let them pick up the tab of the increased prices since McBush has time to go grocery shopping.

I bet McCain regrets the day he harped on Obama to make that trip to the Middle East. Also Scott L. the taxpayers are not paying for this trip, Obama's campaign is.

I see that racism is still "alive and well" in the USA

Great speech loved it the negetivty on this board seems to amaze me must be republicans they dont like peace or appreciate it their warmongers AMERICA THE WORLD IS TIRED OF WAR LETS TRY PEACE FOR A CHANGE WHATS WRONG WITH THAT OBAMA IS GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL PRESIDENT too bad some of you are so filled with hate and anger you should really seek god!!!!

Absolutely.. Mexican Am in Texas.. Everyone I know in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas that is of Mexican descent (3rd gen or more), detests what Obama stands for and will not follow this pied piper.
We know better and will not buy into his Socialis/Marxist agenda.

Our vote is for our country and that is John S. McCain.

I challenge CNN and the other polls to take a poll in San Antonio
or Phoenix among Hispanics that are 2 or more generations removed from Mexico.

Go Barack, stand up for America and our ideals–you rock.

Obama 08

Hey 'Mexican American in Texas'

I'm a Mexican American, and you don't speak for me or any other Latino or Mexican American….only yourself and your views….so don't say "We" because there is no "We"…..get it straight.

Go OBAMA!!!!!! 08′

I believe again….that people are mindless sheep.
Two words………..disgusting and scary.

Awesome! Finally an American politician with the dignity, intellect and presence to tour the world an actually improve our image abroad.

Godspeed and arrive home safely, Mr. President.

OBAMA '08!!!

Wah. wah. my eyes are welling up with tears….only because we are going to stuck with this big bag of hot air for four years because people are GULLIBLE.–John
——————————————————————————————–

That's right John, and if you don't like it you can go suit up and follow McSame to fight in Iran. Or if you're really lucky he'll start a war closer to home.

Obama 08

Very POWERFUL speech, this is a man who is very in tuned with the world and the issues that need to be addressed. He's going to be one of the greatest PRESIDENT of all time. He has proven time and time again that going into WAR is NOT always the most effective means to an end or to solve a problem. McCain is just like his buddy Bush, very "trigger" happy and quick to take us into war and then use the lame excuse that things all all "peaches and roses" and McCain keeps repeating "victory" and yet has NO clue on how to explain his use of the word as it pertains to the WAR!!!! What? How can you claim victory and not explain WHAT it means and WHERE we go. All he keeps talking about is the SURGE, SURGE, SURGE….. SO WHAT? What is NEXT? That's the million dollar question, and Sen. McCain is wants credit for the surge and can't even get the dates CORRECT on when the surge began. I mean talk about a man with NO CLUE.

Being a military does NOT give McCain full FOREIGN POLICY experience. Being a prisoner of war does NOT make you an authority on foreign policies around the world when you CAN'T even keep the sunni and shiites straight!!!

I think Sen. Obama is FAR more diplomatic and articulate and he carries a very charismatic "polish" persona about him that people feel comfortable and become very interested in what he thinks and says. I don't think it's a "rock star" vibe, I really think Americans are just tired of a President who talks WAR, WAR, WAR and does NOT carry a sense of "polished and articulate" sense of diplomacy about him. McCain DEFINITELY is NOT articulate and very "fumbling" in his approach and just DOES NOT "connect" with people around the world and Americans. He's too out of touch, he just does NOT have what it takes to be an American President.

An American President, is someone majority of Americans can connect with and get "motivated" by. John McCain does NOT motivate me with any of his dull and boring speeches, town hall meetings, and ads. He walks around half the time like he's in a constant state of confusion and needs some directions. Even more depressing is whenever he's asked on controversial issues like abortion, viagra, etc. he's clearly has NO CLUE and looks like a deer with the headlights flashing in his face. This is very disturbing to me AND a big turn off.

I am proud to be an American! Our newxt President of the US is a brilliant man!

Its time for mccain to counter this by going to another dairy product aisle in a market and making no sense. My god, that was one of the most incoherent ramblings I have ever heard.

McCain and Bush together couldn't draw that many people to one place. Well……maybe they could but they'd be PROTESTERS

For the first time in 8 years I was sooooo proud of America watching Obama speak in Berlin!!! Pride of our country is coming back!!! He even said NO MORE torture!!!! Over 100,000 turned out to see him. We have not had this since JFK. Thank you God for sending us Obama at a time the UNited States needs all the HOPE it can get!!! Peace is Patriotic!! Yes We Can!!

Scott L July 24th, 2008 1:53 pm ET

A lot of US Senators back home who have been working hard for many more years than Barack…who have been through re-election battles…who have fought hard on their agendas and bills…

…they are gonna be pretty PO'd right about now.

And oh BTW why are taxpayers paying for Obama's trip??? This is ridiculous…
—————————————————–

Taxpayer's are not paying for it. It's out of campaign funds. Read up on a topic before you address it.

Taxpayer's stop paying for this trip the minute it stopped being a government Senatorial fact finding mission in the middle East. You know, with other Senators in attendance?

One World Government

Wah. wah. my eyes are welling up with tears….only because we are going to stuck with this big bag of hot air for four years because people are GULLIBLE.–John
——————————————————————————————–

That's right John, and if you don't like it you can go suit up and follow McSame to fight in Iran. Or if you're really lucky he'll start a war closer to home.

Obama 08

The thought of this unqualified fraud and his loudmouth wife in office makes me throw up. BLLLLLLLLLLLLEEECCCCCCCCCCHHHHH

I've watching these comments almost everyday and all I see is a bunch of haters with no purpose, no ense of right or wrong, just a lot of people who just want to hate Senator Obama….. If you wanna hate the man come with some solid facts to prove it…..

OBAMA 08

It is a shocking indictment of Bush's education policies that so many people cannot begin to distinguish empty rhetoric from a great thoughtful speech.

"Rarely is the question asked “Is our children learning?” — George W. Bush speech

I mean really. Who wants a President that wants to work with other countries to form a better, safer, and more peaceful world? I mean the McCain plan of invading soverign countries and taking their treasure while destroying their dignity really sounds like a plan we should get behind. That is if he can ever get his facts right about….well about anything.

Absolutely stunning. The fierce urgency of now goes global.

Obama 08

AMAZING sooooo many Obama HATERS!!!! you mcLAME people kill me you know your candidate has had a HORRIBLE week looking like he went grocery shopping with his daughter and grand children standing in front of CHEESE trying to explain THE SURGE which made ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE at all!!! STOP trying to cover up his gaffes and his many many mistakes and open your eyes OBAMA IS LOOKING VERY PRESIDENTIAL and the mccain camp can't compete with it!

OBAMA 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL!!!!
PLEASE BELIEVE IT!!!

Amazing. If we weren't a "democracy," I'd say forget the election!

And the Angels came down from heaven and said "Praise the almighty one" the unity of the world… and as Obama left the crowds followed him down the hole of the abyss.

Does anyone else see the signs or is it just me.

God help the United States if this man gets elected. It is obvious to me what his plans are for my country and I don't like it.

Wake up America before it is too late.

Just heard Obama's speech in Berlin. It was Excellent!! He was cheered, got loads of applause, the people loved him. There was over 100, 000. in the audience. One of the things he expressed was how much he loved the U.S.A. His trip over seas is definitely a big success. We Love You Obama. Barack Obama for President of the U.S.A. 08

Man that was an amazing speech. I'm glad I'm not the only way who had tears in their eyes.

Obama has clearly demonstrated his leadership skills within and outside the US. He has demonstrated that he can bring this country back and turn around what the Bush Adminstration have destroyed.

It's refreshing to think that we almost have a leader that is again respected around the world. These foreign nations are our friends and if you take a step back and listen to how they are trashing our country and how ticked off they are at the US right now, you would understand that we desperately need someone to make amends and repair the damage that Bush and his administration has caused. Our reputation has been severely damaged and we need to back in good standing. Obama is the leader to do just that!

Go Obama!

"After the unpopularity of George W. Bush, the world is waiting to love America again, and many see in Obama, with his youth and his optimism, somebody who can bring that about."
nuff said

You got to give it to Obama, he is brilliant. Amazing how some racists will persist in their closed mindedness like Tom.

One more. Sounds like Obama is running for president of the world — and think about it — maybe he is!

I would rather vote with someone who has a vision for the future, intelligence and obvious common sense, than for someone who is stuck on tirades from the past, and demands for recognition of marginal success in a senseless and costly war.

I'll take intelligence over years of experience anyday.
Obama 08

You Obama supporters act like this man is some kind of God with your fairy tale comments about him. He is going to change the world's image????? Just how is he going to do that – here in the US of A we don't even know what he stands for. He will not debate McCain "the little coward" – he says nothing but talk, talk, talk, blah, blah, blah. He walks around all cocky and chewing gum like some hood from Chicago whenever I see him on TV. He is full of himself put offers nothing to all of us. All of you must be brainwashed in some way – you simply cannot be that stupid on your own.

Kiah July 24th, 2008 1:58 pm ET

This man is here to change this country and hopefully the world and the cynics who reject it just don't get it.

Obama '08 & '12

Khia, you said it perfectly !
vjh

Did you see how many people were there… Obama is a leader… utterly amazing!
Obama/Sebelius 08′

So Barack knocked it out of the ballpark.

Obama 08

N.W.O. '08

all of the haters need to go to school get and education or better yet simply make sure they have a dictionary when trying to understand barack and all his suppports.

Here is a word to look up tolerance and respect -

elect this man! so we can start catching up with the rest of the modern world!

Dear Mexican American,

UR Right! Down hear in Florida, everybody detests Obama, especially Latinos, such as myself. I dont trust those polls at all, its not what ive heard of many latinos on ground. He's just another politician with pretty words, thats all.

Ken Guidry, the concert was FOR Obama, dumb bunny.

Obama has just shown the world what a great leader he will be.

Truly a great man.

Oh, I hate that I'm at work and I can't watch his speech, but I'm going to go home for lunch. It's worth the gas price.

Obama 08

maybe we could save some bandwith and get all of the paid RNC staffers to spew their dis-information tripe, and downplaying of Obama's historic trip, and all of the empty-suit, words don't mean anything, GARBAGEmen and just get roll them all together into one post.

and Scott…. the first leg of his trip was as a fact-finding mission that senators take all of the time. the second leg is completely financed himself. PLEASE STOP SPREADING LIES…

AND TO THE IDIOT WHO POSTED THAT A CONCERT WAS THERE, THEN OBAMA SPOKE… YOU ARE THE BIGGEST LIAR I HAVE EVER SEEN ON THESE BLOGS.

exceptinal speech yesssssssssssss,,,,, this is where to start by uniting people around the world,, what better way to work together???,, i applaud obama a thousand times go obama!!!!!!

"I wonder what the mccain camp will do today to counter the press obama will receive for this speech today….."

How about being the greeter at the local walmart – or maybe he could serve up slurpee's at the Stop N Go. I'm sure there's a kids soccer game he could attend.

Ah heck, I think he'll just stay behind and scream at a few more clouds.

From reading these posts, it's clear to me that Republicans have only one thing now to keep them going.

Hatred.

The speech was phenomenal. Great job, President Obama!!

Knowing how the majority of American's think and by reading a lot of the messages above, I wouldn't be surprised if the World's acceptance of Obama actually hurts him with the American voters.

Please prove me wrong in November, vote for Obama.

A concerned Canadian…

This man obama has risen to power on a wave of world euphoria, as he says he is saving the world from its desperate economic, military & political problems with a brilliant 7-year plan for world peace, economic stability & religious freedom.

Although most of the world will initially hail obama as a political savior, three-and-a-half years after the enactment of the seven-year covenant, he will revoke the peace pact and show his true colors. He is paving the way for the Antichrist.

I heard his speech.

It is a shame that he had to use the race card. Again.

I find it interesting that the Germans had 2 FREE concerts by popular artist at that spot right before Obama gave his speech. I wonder if anyone would have showed up if there would have been NO concerts ??? But the media didn't tell you that.

It is kind of like his speech in Portland with 70,000 poeple and the FREE concert that was given before his speech there. And the media didn't tell you about that one either.

With Obama trying to give the German people in Berlin a history lesson why they are able to exitist today is beyond me. Hey may of them lived it.

Right on!

He articulates so well, he came out of nowhere, he seems to have all the answers, I wonder who he really IS????

HRC was the least qualified candidate running for president

HRCs "resume"

Junior Senator
Married to Bill Clinton

How impressive!!

That's all one man can do. Make the call and let the world answer. The ball is now in our court as citizens of this world.

THANK YOU MR PRESIDENT!!!!

YOU MAKE ME PROUD!!!

obama act's and talks like he is already President? His fall will be amusing to watch, & I bet it happens before Nov. When is the democratic shin dig? Who is it that has kind of quietly remained in the back ground, but has not gone away by any means? Who are the PUMA'S? The fall will happen sooner than you think.

I guess Germany must be one of the 57 states that make up the USA.

The coming of the great MESSIAH….you crazed moonies are out of your minds. The country is hellbound because we have put this vapid idiot in this position.

"The only reason he stands in Berlin is because the United States didn't cut and run during the cold war, which is exactly what Obama is promising to do in the Middle East."

Cut and run from WHO? We would be giving the country back to the government that WE put into place, telling them "you guys take it from here." How in the world is that a "loss"???

Did you see that crowd it looked like mostly highschoolers. LOL Why does Obama have to put down the US everytime he gives a speech in another country or land. The speech was a little zzzzzzzz and rough around the edges IMO.

I am SO PROUD. The difference between Obama and the decidedly un-presidential, name-calling McCain, is so clearly shown as Europeans gather by thousands to listen to this eloquent statesman speak of unity, courage, aspiration and responsibility of all nations to defeat the walls of hunger, poverty, terrorism, bias and bigotry.

We are ONE WORLD. I cannot wait until this man is my President and I can once again be proud of my government.

Casey

Go Obama. The USA needs you and so does the world. If the US is to reclaim its lead in the world we need someone that is capable and willing to effectively reach out. We can't live isolated and vilified by the world anymore. Buhbye Bush…

As a German citizen and political journalist who is living in the United States, I can only confirm that no American presidential candidate has ever excited Germans as Obama does.
The reason for this support is not – as suggested by Obama critics on other posts – that Germans want Obama in office because they want him to take down America. Germany is very much interested in a strong America; but also interested in strong and solid relations.
The Bush administration has ruined this relationship, and I doubt that McCain could fix it.
What American voters need to understand is that if America is respected and liked by its allies, America's positions on foreign politics will be much more successful.
If McCain gets elected, Europeans will shake their heads in disbelief – rightfully so. As a German citizen, I could only wish for such an inspiring and capable candidate for leadership. Will Obama perform miracles? Certainly not. But he seems to have the power to inspire Americans to bring this change from within.
To the Hillary supporters who will vote for McCain – please don't be silly. You will be voting against the very democratic principles that Hillary stands for as well. Both democratic candidates positions are pretty much the same, it just seems that Obama was capable of inspiring more people. But McCain stands against everything that Hillary wants – which is why she wanted to run against him in the first place.
So please don't make this mistake.
Obama is not a socialist – everyone who makes this claim should look up the definition of socialism. Obama is a social democrat, and so is Hillary. Think it over. America – and the world – do not need more republican policies.

I just got chills,I just hear the same retorica of Fidel! …Obama is dangerous……we cuban know the type…….I hope God help us!

Just to be clear concerning the lack of much applause and cheering: this doesn't mean the audience didn't like Obama or his speech much. Europeans tend to be a lot more reserved in their responses than Americans. One of the differences in culture, I suppose…

Erik from Belgium

One trip over seas does not give Obama any experience to lead this country. I watched his speech and he did not say anything new that we all could have said. He would make a good preacher but not a leader. As a democrat I will back McCain. This trip for Obama was all show and no knowledge. He loves the camera….No to Obama…

Yes i agree, it was amazing. But, why doesnt anybody realize that he has no accomplishments, has NEVER produced Change? TO ME, BARACK OBAMA is JUST TALK(GOOD SPEECHES). WAKe up AMERICA!

Hey – Mexican American in Tx – you need to show your green card or go home.. !! we 'Mexicans'… sounds like you don't even have the right to vote.. let alone smart enough to realize that we MUST go a different direction than what McBush will take us.. !!

wake up and smell the tacos..

It is difficult NOT to think of this man as President of the United States.
In due time . . . in due time.

So what, Johnny Mack can get a crowd even bigger at a nascar event or an NRA meeting, or a church in Utah..They are all securly behind MCCain as so are Hillary's PUMA brigade.

This man is a joke. If the press thinks they are going to win this election with all of this wonderful stuff about this goofy man they are so wrong. I don't know of anyone who wants him as president or anything else. He has no policy's except what he thinks people want to hear. This is a very scary person and America better wake up to the truth and show not just Obama but the media that their little games are over.

Peaches

Liberals, look out – this is it. HUSSEIN Obama is calling for the One World Government! How long can it be before golbal Sharia law?

Wasn't Obama heckled at the Western Wall? Why is this not reported, just the good points are all you report. This is actually quite scary. We can not return to the days of Pres. Kennedy and neither can the rest of the World. To think so is not living in real time…Also, the time of the end comes to mind

Typical White Person

it could not be more evident you are a paid rnc staffer…..

After years of being ashamed of my country, it's nice to feel pride.

Go Obama!

Wah. wah. my eyes are welling up with tears….only because we are going to stuck with this big bag of hot air for four years because people are GULLIBLE.

Ah, the messiah everybody can love! I'm sure all our enemies are laughing their butts off.

i beleive again

What an inspiring speech from an outstanding American!

TOM SAID:
A vote for Obama is a vote for affirmative action

I GUESS that would mean a vote for mcCane is a vote for Jim Crow…

Awesome Speech

GO OBAMA 08′

What a powerful speech !

Mike, TX– Iraq is No Berlin

I beleive i again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Mexican American In Texas,

You're wrong.

Chutzpah plus for campaigning out of the USA! The arrogant Obama drama is such a farce! But, the presumptive nominee is a great pretender/actor.

I will be very relieved when the media hoopla is over, Obama is a nonentity back in the Senate, and Senator John McCain is President of the USA!

An awesome speech. Can you believe the number of people there! When Senator Obama is elected President just think of what the world's image will be of America as opposed to what it is right now.

I must say..once again..he took my breath away! I love this man and it looks like I'm not the only one.

Now I bet John McCain is angry with his campaign for forcing Obama to go abroad, never will McCain force Obama to do anything because right now Obama has the Midas touch.

Oh dear, how McCain wishes he was the one getting all the attention, watch out Senator Obama, now you will not be on Senator McCain’s Xmas list.

OH MY GOD and he walks on water too, people!!

Messages like this need to be re-stated more often than they are. If there is no dialog, nations tend to close their doors and their minds to what is going on in the world. We of the earth are all on the same bus, need to share all earths vast resources. However as we are beginning to see that as more nations become more modernized the resources that this earth we all share are distributed amongst may more nations. So we are able to get less than needed. If this continues we will be fighting aver resoruces more and more, whether it be oil, water food growing areas.

It is an idea that we all need to get along as it will be a nicer bus ride.

I just watched his speech he is an amazing person and he will be the next president of the Unite State!!

Amazing speech. Showed the world America cares and challenging them to face our common enemies. I can not wait until 1-21-09 when you are president.

Rober, NYC…

words, words, words…?

What the hell is he supposed to do,, sing, dance, tell them how a toaster oven is built???

To all those like me who are supporting Obama. While these types of events are amazing and offer hope for our future. We need to stay focused on supporting the "down ballot" offices to make sure that if he wins, that he has the support he needs. So, please get out there and help with your local congressional candidate, senatorial candidate, etc. He can offer the vision for direction and legislation, but he needs the feet on the ground to enact the vision.

I hear the same in Cuba by Fidel Castro!.Where we go from here!……………BLA BLA I will stop watching CNN ?.

Typical Obama, not one word of substance or anything that matters. He sounds like he is trying to impersonate MLK. He is no MLK and never will be. This is just another way for the media to glorify him as they usually do. CNN should change from CNN to BNN (Barrack News Network). That certainly fits your news reports a lot better. Obama is a fake that only talks about change but never offers any.

He spends so much time writing speeches, (or having them written for him), that you'd think his time would be better spent writing and enacting some legislation.

Good thing he's working so hard to crack down on those oil speculators he made a speech about a couple of months ago!!

blah blah blah blah blah…..empty words from an empty suit.

He was born in the USA.

Obama 08

GREAT SPEECH……….. UNITY PEOPLE!!!

TOP THAT ONE MCWAR….you can't even come close to even making

a speech like that…….now let's hear you say it……WAAAAA

With this speach MCcain will vote for Obama. With the right mind I don't know who won't vote for this amazing guy. god bless
I love you man….

He's all American.

Obama 08

WHAT A FREAKING BIG BAG OF HOT AIR THIS GUY IS…YET ALL THE SAPS ARE BUYING HIS CRAP.

I am so proud to see America getting some positive recognition from around the globe. All the protest rallies and effigy burning over the past 8 years has been depressing and not what I wanted to see done to the image of a country I feel deserves so much more respect.

Obama speaks and inspires hope in people for a better world tomorrow and God knows we need it and need it soon. I have seen comments trying to condemn him as an empty suit which of course flies in the face of reality.

Not likely Obama or anyone else can accomplish all the objectives he talks about but the more success he has with his ideas and ideals the better off everyone will be. The main thing is Obama knows there is need for some changes and will work to implement them during his tenure as President. THAT IS REAL HOPE!

Unfortunately his opposition has chosen a path of no hope for any more than exists today so it would be foolish for anyone to expect any improvements in the current situation and everyone's current status both financially and globally.

Of course there are a number of people quite content to keep the status quo so it will interesting to see how many Americans believe their country and lives are need of change.

America used to know the dream of freedom – but that was before the tyranny of the Bush dictatorship.
Maybe Barack can restore that dream.

"proud citizen of the United States and a fellow citizen of the world."

Me too.

Wait…Americans are citizens of the world. Who would have thought so given the last eight years.

That was amazing, just amazing. Thank you CNN for bringing this to us live.

He is so right. And how wonderful to see how American can be great again in the eyes of the world. How the last terrible 8 years can be erased and reversed if we elect the right person.

POSTED (really CNN)… am I banned?

one word: nauseating

It was an amazing moment.

two words: truly amazing

WOW just WOW this man gives me goosebumps when he speaks.What a wonderful and powerful speech.Obama is the only person that can bring back our good standing in the world and I hope he wins in Nov.

This man is here to change this country and hopefully the world and the cynics who reject it just don't get it.

Obama '08 & '12

Sen. Obama…you need to come back home and talk about domestic issues. If you get elected, you will get plenty of chances to travel around to rally international support. Until then, do keep in mind that the rest of world has no voice over our election process, and therefore, their opinion is irrelevant at this juncture.

Begin debating Sen. McCain on specific issues, with concrete ideas, and commit yourself to policies that you believe in. It is time!!

I am so dying to watch

Incredible. Congratulations on nailing it, Senator!

PERFECTION!

Obama has proven to the world that he is a very good speech reader, nothing more maybe less.

Excellent speech! Obama believes in the good of man, that is very hard thing for many of us to do, seeing a cup half full instead of dried up and empty. Thank goodness for those people who also see the cup half full. YES WE CAN.

wow.. stunning speech. People everyone overseas loves the guy. Personality goes a long way in developing strong ties overseas.

Bash on bash on McCain. The more you bash the worst you and
the Reps. look.

Just read that all US government employees in Germany were banned from attending the even by the US government. This represents a brand new low for the Bush and his cronies. I guess they need to throw whatever lifeline they can to the gigantic mess that is the McCain campaign.

Two words: Absolutely fantastic.

I just watched the speech and spoke to my colleague who is in Berlin: – great speech with thousands in attendance, screaming Obama. The substance of the speech is great – humanity, love for America and, yes we can! I bet some talk show white dude republicans in black suits are going to spend their entire day trying to find something wrong with the speech. It does not matter becuase it was great, …..something mcsame can only dream of.

Report the truth will you please. Berliner's did not setup this venue for him…his speech comes after a concert which was already setup and most of people stayed to hear the speech, of course.

Don't you call this a "captive audience"?

His speech was SO inspiring. He is bringing so much hope to the world.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!!

Wow, that was an incredible speech. If that doesn't convince the naysayers that he is presidential material, nothing will.

THIS IS WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS RIGHT NOW.

He will not win in November.
People do not like a man that thinks he is president before he is and people do not like a person who goes over seas to other countries and gives grand speaches as if he is the president before the USA population makes him president.
It makes him look like he is full of himself and that he actually speaks for the USA. When in fact he has not been given that privilage from the United States citizens yet

True – Amazing

What a joy to see.

Finally…a presidential candidate we can believe in! Barack Obama handles himself with grace and chooses his words carefully. What we wanted to see on this tour was whether his self-confidence carries well beyond our shores–and it does, beautifully. Maybe, soon, we will have a POTUS to be proud of once again!

people's champ!

I think this speach shows exactly why Obama is getting so much attention. With the lack of leadership in the US, and even the world, it's nice to see someone who understands the importance of bringing us together. I think the US and the world needs someone to guide us to our fullest potential.

Obama truly is a once in a generation canidate. For those of you supporting McCain, let me ask you, could he have made this speach? No? Why not? I think we all know the answer to that.

Is there anything else to be said.

Wow.

Beyond words. I came to tears.

hope is contagious….

I wonder if McCain would get that many people out??

No matter how the pundants and cynics will spin this….

OBama must be doing something right!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful speech. Makes me a proud American to see my leader embraced abroad. OBAMA 2008!

I am speechless. What a wonderful call to global citizenry. I am insprired and so grateful to see our next leader inspiring the world.

I can't believe it's taken this long for a presidential candidate to acknowledge that Americans need to think globally, remembering that all nationalism aside, citizens of all countries of the world need to work together to accomplish many of our goals and dreams. How could anyone even begin to compare a candidate of such magnitude with an old man who's mad about "pork barrel spending?"

His speech brought tears to my eyes, which rarely does not happen.
Well, America, let's elect our next President. GO OBAMA!.

wow. He articulates so well, he came out of nowhere, he seems to have all the answers to the worlds problems. I wonder who he really is…….

What will the McShame haters say after this speech! Wow!!!

you can speak for me ANY TIME, president obama!!! THANK YOU for showing the world, we are not all a bunch of idiots over here. bush has brought A LOT of shame on america, and only obama can take us not only back to where wer were, but BETTER than we were!

and old bozo mccain must have jessica simpson consulting his staff, airing anti-obama ads—-filled with the typical GOP lies and misinformation—in Berlins in the u.s. what an arrogant fool. only the neoCONs are against peace and prosperity FOR ALL!! why are people STILL dumb enough to keep these neoclowns around? you're welcome to have zero self-respect, but you arent gonna drag the rest of us down with you. if you want to continue to live in your victim, poor me role, go for it, but get out of the way of us americans who want to make our country GREAT again!

Obama is a world Leader now no matter what. His message will resonate with the world. You just have to believe its possible.

One word: Amazing.

Great Speech! He is such a breath of fresh air. Go Obama! All the way to the White House!

Obama 08

Stop the hate
stop the party lines
stop the me me additude
stop the anger from 9/11 for an captured madman
stop the lies and name calling

Vote for who you want, for whos best for ALL of America!
Vote your head, not anger or predjudice.

I respect all of you, you are today and will be after this election, my brothers and sisters of this great nation.

Obama for me, you?=

A lot of US Senators back home who have been working hard for many more years than Barack…who have been through re-election battles…who have fought hard on their agendas and bills…

…they are gonna be pretty PO'd right about now.

And oh BTW why are taxpayers paying for Obama's trip??? This is ridiculous…

Obama, I just watched your speech. You just made me so proud to be American. It's clear that the world adores you. I love what our country stands for and you symbolize the freedom that is granted towards all citizens. The walls we truly do need to turn down are the walls that separate us caused by fear and mistrust. Thank you for representing us so eloquently.

an event the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee said was not a "political rally."

LIE…

Reality Check: Obama is like everyone else in Washington, ok ok not like EVERYONE else because he does not have the same experience as more then 90% of them.

A vote for Obama is a vote for affirmative action

Standing together is the only way the world will ever come to a consensus regarding pollution, energy and the future. It's time to finally bring an end to the derisive, abusive policies of the current Republican party. Obama sees this and is a strong proponent.

Change? Yes.

That's what I call a World Leader. Maybe McCain can learn something from this man. However, it's not easy teaching old dogs new tricks.

i loooooooooove this duuuuude….OMG. we are one people, one Nation and ONE world!!!!!

lets face it John could never ever do this, bringing the world together….

OBAMA 08, 12

It would be nice if CNN would tell us how the speech was received.

Sometimes words do matter.

Much like Kennedy, Obama has the gift to use inspirational words to bring people together to collectively realize mutual aspirations.

Obama is a truly a blessing from God.

**

…Folks,,, we have a REAL LEADER…

**

Thank you Barack Obama for making my life feel historical and renewed!!

Dear Sir,

I think he should run for UN president and leave us alone.

It is so sad that we have such limited choices for president, Jack Welsh, he should run for president.

We have been the most powerful country on earth due to our economy and now guess what America, the world is not our friend when it comes to the economy.

All our jobs are going overseas, our dollar is at record lows, and Bush is going to China cause we need them to continue buying our debt.

We need a president that is for the United States, for economic growth, and does not bow down to ever foreign head of state.

God Bless You

Stand together against another Dictator, like Borack Obama…

OMG…I didn't know Nov 1 came, how did I miss it? So i guess Obama won.

As an Obama supporter, I am getting some serious Obama overload…I mean can we see McCain a little bit more

Thank you Senator Obama for representing America well.

Is it true there was a CONCERT beforehand to help draw a crowd?

It sure wasn't diplomacy that brought down the Berlin Wall–in case Mr. Obama hasnt' read up on the "cold war error".

He disgusts me.

Those same people cheering for him today–still owe us money for repatriation and reconstruction under the Marshall Plan.

What a sick display of butt kissing.

Could be worse. I think if McCain did this they'd throw food at him-just like I would…

Obama is loved through out the world.

Compare this to the protests every time Bush pays a visit… anywhere.

Or the lack of interest in McBush.

Obama must be the next president of the U.S.!

Obama's speech is ongoing as I write, but I had to leave to prevent gagging at his arrogance to place himself before the world as a leader of a major power. The applause is light and rare, as opposed to here in the U. S. Dear Lord help us if this man is elected as President of the United States. I'm elderly, and very much in touch. I just hope our media does not encourage this kind of arrogance. This is so un-American and un-democratic. Last comment: Why is he not speaking German?

They conveniently left out the part about the Victory Column standing in from of the Reichstag during WWII and that the "unity" it represents is the defeat of the French, Austrians, and Danish.

Obama – Clinton 08

Obama needs to choose a running mate ASAP because there is little time left for world diplomacy!!!

I have been to Europe a number of times in recent years. Europeans wish America well. They want to feel respect and affection for our country, in part because we played such a large roll in liberating and then protecting theirs.

But we need to meet them halfway. We cannot elect another President whose attitude is "shoot first and ask questions later."

Our decision is simple. Vote for the future and for improved relations with the rest of the world. Or vote for the most unfortunate aspects of our past and for greater isolation from potential partners and greater estrangement from people with whom we could live peacefully.

Proud to be an American. Finally the world will respect us. Let's elect this man.

I am so proud to be living in North America. Thankyou Senator Obama for doing your utmost to make it a better world. Peace and Love

We want a person who will be president of the United States. Not president of Germany.

McCain '08

He is smooth talking the Germans. They love him over there too. You can tell only a handful of them speak english. They are slow to the aplause lines.
I am thoroughly enjoying this speech. I am listening live on CNN.

Thanks CNN.

Oh my god! Look at how arrogant he is, asking the world to unite under a banner of peace! His highly motivating speeches disgust me! PUMA!

The presidency is not a popularity contest or reality show.
Obama goes around the world quoting great men, leaders and Presidents from around the world but has no leadership skills of his own.
Obama is nothing more then a great teleprompter reader with no experience or resume to back what is coming out of his mouth. Flip Flop.

FACT: Obama did not support the troop surge in Iraq, and stated" It will never work."
FACT: Obama Know states that Iraq is a safer place but not because of the troop surge????????????
FACT: Obama says one thing one day, and something different the next.
FACT: McCain is a proven war hero and leader who sticks by his word and make decisions based on the best interest of his Country, not a popularity contest like Obama.

Yep…
America bellied up with money and resources to defend democracy in Europe in WW-I and also in WW-II.
Why are they so willing to just sit by and watch as we fight the global war on terror and create a wall between Iraq and the middle-east?

Not only are Europeans (and Germans/French in particular) so unwilling to aid us in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Could it be they're just waiting for a lacky who won't hold them accountable?

Obama–fits the job description there. No wonder they're so happy!!

Now Americans can continue to fight the global war on terror and be happy about having to finance the security of the planet and sacrifice in support of their new President.

Get a grip. Wake up and smell the cappucino!!!

Obama will not continue to pressure our allies to step up to the plate. They will still sit on the side-lines while we invest the lives of our own military and our own financial resources to make the world safer–and likely ridicule his efforts as they have GW Bush.

McCain: "I'm not a Berliner", but maybe we can use the surge to tear down the wall.

It all about the SURGE in McCain's camp
Insurgents are stoped by the surge
The solutions to lifes problems is the surge

yours Truly,
Surgeant Surge

This is just empty rhetoric.

More hallow-speak from wonderbama.

The only reason he stands in Berlin is because the United States didn't cut and run during the cold war, which is exactly what Obama is promising to do in the Middle East.

Hypocrite!

Go on B. Obama. Make us all proud here in America

Who's taking this poll? CNN?…I doubt it's accurate, every
Latino, I know detest Obama and all his Hype…we're all
sick of all the phony attention he gets. He is "not" fit to
be Commander in Chief, he is inexperience and very cocky.
He lost us when we lost Hillary. Things could change for
him to win us over "if" he stops being so arrogant and makes
it a point to get Hillary in the ticket, otherwise, we Mexicans,
Latinos, Hispanics whatever you want to call us, vouch to
make him toast and vote McCain instead. It's the principle
of the issues that count not the popularity.

For a change, American has somone so brilliant and eloquent to represent the "wisdom" of this nation! We have too much at stake to let another incompetent "old man" stand on that stage!

GO OBAMA

i like what this man is doing to re-establish our place in the world!

Words, words, words.

Where's the beef?

Church organizer?

I wonder what the mccain camp will do today to counter the press obama will receive for this speech today…..

he HAS to do something, especially since running away from reporters yesterday (after gaffing about his oh so important surge)..
he cancelled his availability with reporters and hid.

(commander my arse)…

Im so proud of you Mr Obama!! and I cant wait for you to be the president of the United States of America.

AMAZING!

I'm so proud of my next POTUS. He's making American shine, and doing a fantastic job.

Obama 08

God, this is a good speech.
