I really went back and forth as to whether or not I wanted to do a post on Obama’s Berlin speech today, because frankly I don’t give a damn. If you’ve heard one Obama speech you’ve heard them all, and this one was no exception. He spouted a bunch of pap about how he wasn’t there as a politician (heh), proceeded to recite the history of Berlin to the German audience (I think they’ve already got that down pat jackass), and a bunch of crap about tearing down walls and unity and Hopeandchange. Overall there isn’t a single part of his speech that stands out as transcendent or even particularly noteworthy. Really, this is an effin’ boring speech. If McCain traveled to Germany, got tons of hype, and did a speech this boring people would be calling for his head on a stake.
PS – Despite all the protests from Team Obama that this wasn’t a political speech, that’s not how the State Department saw it.
