Barack's "Ich Bin Ein Berliner" Moment*
I think Sen. Barack Obama's speech in Berlin, Germany this week will go down as one of the greatest speeches in our time (if he gets elected). It was a watershed moment, a return to what America really is, despite our flaws and mistakes.
It would have been a thrill to be part of the throng.
*Actually, about 25 minutes or "moments."

I think this is an historic moment even if he *doesn't* get elected. Win or lose, every (non-incumbent) presidential candidate who speaks abroad will be compared to Obama.
It was a fantastically well-written speech, delivered at just the right time.
Here's hoping we see more of this kind of stuff, and less of the FISA bill crap.
He sounded like he was running for King of the World instead of President of the United States.
I don't trust him, plain and simple.
Stealing from U2 is not the way I would want ot be remembered......
Don't they make you cite your sources in Harvard? Heck I bet you had to even do that in Kansas......
