random out takes of obamamama in Berlin and
my thoughts

I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before...
I know that I don't look like the Americans who've previously spoken in this great city.
RACIST MUCH

The terrorists of September 11th plotted in Hamburg and trained in Kandahar and Karachi before killing (1)thousands from all over the globe on American soil.
As we speak,(2) cars in Boston and factories in Beijing are melting the ice caps in the Arctic(3), shrinking coastlines in the Atlantic, and bringing drought to farms from Kansas(4) to Kenya.

Poorly secured nuclear material in the former Soviet Union, or secrets from a scientist in Pakistan could help build a bomb that detonates in Paris. The poppies in Afghanistan become the heroin in Berlin. The poverty and violence in Somalia breeds the terror of tomorrow. The genocide in Darfur shames the conscience of us all.
(1)Heaven forbid he say AMERICANS were killed
(2)people of boston you are worse than any of the following, famine, nukes, heroin, terrorists and genocide!
(3)good thing the Antarctic is growing
(4)I've been thru Kansas several times this summer, flooding more than drought, Georgia might need some water though.

In Europe, the view that America is part of what has gone wrong in our world, rather than a force to help make it right, has become all too common. In America, there are voices that deride and deny the importance of Europe's role in our security and our future. Both views miss the truth - that Europeans today are bearing new burdens and taking more responsibility in critical parts of the world;
So why exactly is Europe delaying the promised troops to Afghanistan? You know, the GOOD war?

This is the moment when we must renew the goal of a world without nuclear weapons. The two superpowers that faced each other across the wall of this city came too close too often to destroying all we have built and all that we love. With that wall gone, we need not stand idly by and watch the further spread of the deadly atom. It is time to secure all loose nuclear materials; to stop the spread of nuclear weapons; and to reduce the arsenals from another era. This is the moment to begin the work of seeking the peace of a world without nuclear weapons.
Again, Russia and China first.

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.
The Messiah can control the WEATHER!!!!

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'll bet this got a standing O. Do we really need a presidential candidate saying this overseas?
