Its like there is the spirt of Leni Riefenstahl in Obamas staff today.
A brilliant work of rhetoric, writing, setting, and a performence.
I wonder what Obamas brave new world will be like.

I'm merely commenting on the content of this one speech.
Myself, I did watch most of the Democratic debates and have read through his policy proposals at his website. There is decent information out there on his policies, but the substance certainly didn't match the hype today.
Don't get me wrong, I fully understand why, too. They know there's a potential for backlash if their candidate goes too far in campaigning on foreign soil. In the end, what we're left with is a speech that was intended to be politically safe, but as a consequence, lacked any real substance beyond the rather standard Dem/liberal foreign policy talking points.

“I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before, although tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for president, but as a citizen — a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world,”
“No president, through all of American history, has ever ceded — and nor would I — the right to preempt in any way necessary, to protect the United States of America. But if and when you do it, Jim, you’ve got to do it in a way that passes the, the test, that passes the global test where your countrymen, your people, understand fully why you’re doing what you’re doing, and you can prove to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons.”

You can't be much of a leader if are worried about what the rest of the world thinks.

I'm really glad to see so many people here in this thread supporting Obama's speech. Just wanted to say that. It usually seems to be a core group of us who are "sticking up" for him and everyone else is hating on him. So that's nice to know that you're out there, even though you don't always post. And that's ok. I totally understand that.
And thank you, highfreq for posting the speech! I've seen snippets, but I'm going to watch it later.
I also found it interesting that McCain sort of dissed Obama for speaking in Berlin, saying he would love to give a speech in Germany, but would prefer to do it as president rather than as a candidate.
My question is WHY? What's wrong with speaking outside the country as a candidate? McCain did it. Why, now that it's Obama doing it, it's a big deal and better to wait till he's president? What a lame diss. I'm sorry, he's sounding like a pouting, whining baby. He goaded Obama about taking a trip and when Obama does it, he's pissy about it. It's just lame. Grow up.

Isn't it ironic that Osama is apologizing to the Germans about American conduct around the world? I find that pretty insulting. Germany of all places? We were over there twice killing those Germans for their antics and Osama is drawing thinly veiled parallels between how “bad” America is and the Nazis?
This Muslim has no class at all…

It's Obama not Osama.
Sorry for the one liner.
