Obama speech in Berlin

A speech down played by presidential candidate John McCain.

I’d love to give a speech in Germany but I’d much prefer to do it as president of the United States rather than as a candidate for president

However these were some of the points he stated throughout his speech.

  • He said it was time to “defeat terror and dry up the well of extremism that supports it”, arguing that Islamic extremism could be defeated just as communism had been in its time
  • Is he Muslim?

  • He urged support for the Iraqis rebuilding their lives as the US passes responsibility to the Iraqi government and “finally brings this war to a close”
  • Bush and all Republicans should be happy…

  • It was the moment, he said, to “renew the goal of a world without nuclear weapons” and not “stand idly by and watch the further spread of the deadly atom”
  • Nothing new there…

  • He urged all countries to act with “the same seriousness of purpose” as Germany to reduce carbon emissions
  • I’m telling you, the man has to be nominated as world leader for the UN and partner up with Al Gore!

  • He called for global trade “that is free and fair for all”

    I would consider him as the world speaker for the UN if he doesn’t win the Presidential Elections. He clearly demonstrated his popularity in Berlin and I’m sure it has grown since then with his speech.

    y nah… tranquilo quieto por ahora.
