i heard that the phrase “ich bin ein berliner” was a gaffe even then, meaning i am a ice cream?

A “Berliner” (with the definite article) was a jelly doughnut.



For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

JFK went there and said, I am a Berliner, which is Billy Jeff code for ‘I feel your pain’ and he left tens of millions suffering behind the iron curtain, because he presented no credible threat to the Soviet Union (That is not an indictment, just a fact)

Reagan went there and said, tear down this damn wall, and soon the wall fell and tens of millions of people began to enjoy the fruits of liberty.

Obama goes there to say, “I want to see a change in the wall, change is everything.”


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Heh,

Proof, is as usual, right.

Saint Obama makes JFK look like a heavyweight, no mean accomplishment that!

In the early sixties it was pretty daring to fly into West Berlin, an island in the sea of Communism.

It’s pretty stupid today, especially considering the gaffemeister is going to be speaking in front of a Nazi landmark.

The column originally stood in front of the Reichstag, Germany’s parliament building, but was moved by Adolf Hitler to its current location in 1939 to make way for his planned transformation of Berlin into the Nazi capital “Germania.”

Those fascists do seem to admire eachother.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Hey “Whistler”,
Nothing personal here. But, you wanna see Global Warming legislation and Taxation, put “Obama” in office. Somehow I think MCcain may put the economy first. At Least, that would be the “hope”.. With the Democrats, there “is” no hope..

Wouldn’t it be better if the Republicans actually had a candidate you could say “I know he’ll put the economy first?”

From his record I think we have reason to doubt that.  In fact he’d probably be more successful in advancing bad things that the clueless one.

You heard badly: JFK said distinctly:  Ich bin ein Berliner (I am a citizen of Berlin) and while he was not ready to go to a nuclear war to free occupied Europe he was also stating US would side with freedom not loook the other way like Obam would do.

JFM,

Absent the “ein” you’d be correct.

Kennedy also failed the Obama test of multi-lingualism (which of course Obama fails himself as well).

Obama didn’t know the wall was down.
