Barack Obama Delivers A Foreign Policy Speech in Berlin - Calls For Unity - Over 200,000 People In Attendance


Barack Obama addresses a crowd of over 200,000 people in Tiergarten, Berlin.

I saw this live today on CNN. Absolutely incredible. Not once did I see Barack look at any speech, notes, or monitors. Incredible and amazing. He captivated and turned out over 200,000 in an outdoor public square, Berlin's Victory Column, on a Thursday afternoon.

Obama called for renewed trans-Atlantic cooperation to rein in Iran, to fight religious extremism and terrorism, and to tackle global warming and poverty.

The man is phenomenal. I really felt like I was watching our next President when I saw this today. I felt as if this man was born to do just what he is doing. I felt as if before he was even born, he chose this route and journey for himself. He is really coming into his own I feel and believe as the next President of The United States.

Also, today while watching Barack, I felt something else was in the air. That electricity some friends of mine that have had the opportunity of hearing and seeing him in person have told me about. I feel something meta-physical is actually taking place in and around him. A feeling that has been in my bones while watching this whole Presidential Race and that Barack has said himself; That it's bigger than Barack. People want a change. The world wants a change. Things have been so bad in the last 8 years, everyone wants a better change. The world is crying out for 8 years of Peace, Unity, and Prosperity.

It's one thing to get love in The U.S., it's another thing to get love from all the way across the seas and from all over the world. What does that tell you? Something very special is happening here.

The phrase "We are winessing history in the making" has been used so much, it has almost become cliche. But today? Today I felt it. We are truly witnessing history in the making here. It's a great time to be alive.
Peace!
