In perhaps the most striking passage, Obama asserted: “I know my country has not perfected itself.”
“But I also know how much I love America,” he said. “We are a people of improbable hope. With an eye towards the future, with resolve in our heart, let us remember this history, and answer our destiny, and remake the world once again.”
Obama’s sweeping vision also includes:
— "This is the moment when we must renew the goal of a world without nuclear weapons."
— "This is the moment we must help answer the call for a new dawn in the Middle East."
— "America has no better partner than Europe. Now is the time to build new bridges across the globe as strong as the one that bound us across the Atlantic. Now is the time to join together, through constant cooperation, strong institutions, shared sacrifice, and a global commitment to progress, to meet the challenges of the 21st century.”
— “My country must stand with yours and with Europe in sending a direct message to Iran that it must abandon its nuclear ambitions.”
— “The world should support the millions of Iraqis who seek to rebuild their lives, even as we pass responsibility to the Iraqi government and finally bring this war to a close.”

Would all Obamamaniacs please line up behind the next stellar comet that passes by, so he can remake the world in an orderly fashion. Your Messiah is speaking to you.
Well, I guess he’s got the European vote LOCKED UP now! /s
Actually he is going to do it in 6 days. On the seventh day he’s going to shoot some hoop!
“Obama’s sweeping vision also includes:”
“Sweeping vision” my ass.
It is the sickly saccharine, half-baked, grossly immature, puff-pastry platitudes of a pimply-faced, Junior High School Composition I essay.
Ha... and smoke some weed.

Okay all you Obamaniacs... you know the song.. everyone sing a long...
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains, there’s a land that’s fair and bright,
The handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty and the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees and the cigarete trees,
The lemonade springs where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
Exactly. Just a bunch of vapid dribble. Amazing that people fall for this cotton candy.
BHO is an idiot. His speech sounded like a high school graduation speech. It was naive and lame. If this is considered presidential, the world is in big trouble!
“But I also know how much I love America,” he said”
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. You know how much you love America? A very imprecise statement. But for one who learned so much from Reverend Wright, William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, it’s understandable how you might not to be too specific, running for president and all.
Obama Cometh.. soros sits silently by.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Any Idiot that believes Obama , I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell them.
Great speech and imagery resembling the late greats MLK and JFK.
He isn't worth 1/10000th of either.
Obama inspires.
I saw the speech, there were bands there on the stage for an hour and half before Obama spoke, and the crowd seemed to even dwindle in size as Obama spoke... The Media seem to have the crowd all corraled in tight so they could not get away, so they could use them in the pictures. Obama looked dumb... a bad Shakespearean actor...at best.
You are right about that , Obama is not MLK or JFK. Obama is a better embellisher than Al Gore though. I never thought I could see anyone be more Grandiose and Bellicose than Al Gore..but today I did. Obama spewed out so much hot air... global warming will never stop.
Does this boob think the war is a Broadway show or something? You can either win the war or lose it, but you can't just "bring it to a close". Gad what an idiot.
"What is it that you want most?"
"I want world peace!" (...followed by a giggle...)
brooklyn bridge? obama wants to sell the whole country!
Today Obama proved that he is am arrogant, presumptious, over the top, pretentious Pr_ck. ( chose your own vowel there).
I ain't worried Obama can not even shoot a gun, and probably cannot even wrestle or fight.. I do see Obama able to wave a white flag.
I’ve always thought that if you want to show you stand for more than “soaring oratory” that Germans are probably the last audience you’d want to address, given their hyperactive character flaw of being mesmerized by charismatic speakers. Which, by the way, led to the biggest war the world has ever seen…
This is clearly a speech coming from a naive newcomer who truly believes that rogue dictators are going to “play nice” with him.
And in the meantime, the US is in danger if this man ever gets elected.
I’m just curious about what the tipping point will be. But one of these days very soon, Obama is going to start to really clip in the polls.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
This is what the media will not tell you about the crowd that showed up for Obama to speak today, they passed out tickets for the event for days, and had bands playing for an hour and half before he arrived. The Band draws in the people...and Obama makes them all go away.
So much that he took the flag off his plane’s tail and put on that stupid looking Madison Avenue logo! Not room for the good old Red White & Blue!
Obama has to be making World Leaders giggle at the fact that that inept booby could be President of the United States.
Without any military experience whatsoever, how in the world would he dare to know anything about troops’ needs.
He’s way too much like Bill Clinton. Neither one of these men have a clue about what a Commander in Chief is supposed to be doing to keep America safe!
Please, dear God, don’t make me have to listen to this man for 8 years. I couldn’t stand the sound of Clinton’s voice, either his or hers. I may give up my TV if this exercise in naivete gets elected.
And now for his next act, watch bam bam walk on water!
“the goal of a world without nuclear weapons.”
Whose goal is that?
“finally bring this war to a close.”
The Iraqi theater of operations is only one campaign in the global war on terror.
And that is nowhere near to a close.
They came for the free beer and sausages and rock music.
We’ve been in Gemany. They don’t have a real high regard for dumb sounding Americans but they’re only too happy to drink free beer and listen to music they didn’t have to buy a ticket for. That doesn’t make them dumb, mind you. But I just think, IMHO, that if this many people showed up, it wasn’t for Barry O. They can’t vote for him anyway so it was all for aggrandizing on his part.
He should put so much effort into being a senator.
clip = slip.
Sorry
We have to get to the polls in November and make sure that doesn’t happen and we have to encourage as many of our friends and relatives to do likewise.
Disgusting photo
Six days. Even He must rest on the seventh.
If you saw the cameras panning the crowd before him showing up 30 minutes late, they weren’t partying amongst themselves, they were slightly irritated and restless in a negative way.
This panicked Obama’s producers, so they switched to a couple sorta dancing to make it look like a party.
He will just proclaim one week is now 10 days.
Goes along with the 57 states.
I always vote... and I just recieved an McCain Sticker today, it is now placed on my car bumper.
Of course in the New World order... a Week will be ten days... we will have a weekend in the middle of the week, for doctor appointments after our free Universal Insurance kicks in.
Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
Obamanation THINKS he is the Messiah, but in reality he is ........................................
You fill in the blank.
Question? Why didn’t Hussein start the world’s makeover in that sewer called Chicago? Why can’t ABC and Hussein return to the crime-ridden cesspool hometown of the pseudo-god for an extreme makeover?
