Quote CNN: "Obama had originally hoped to speak in front of the iconic Brandenburg Gate, where U.S. President John F. Kennedy had been met by ecstatic crowds in 1963 when he visited the city shortly after the Berlin Wall had been built." WRONG CNN!!! Mr. Kennedy spoke in front of the "Rathaus Schöneberg" in his famous speach. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_bin_ein_Berliner LOL, the media in the US spirals downwards continuous.

What if they knew the historic significance all right, but calculated that Germans probably would not refuse the request? You know, in diplomatic circle, everybody behaving nice nice. Did somebody mention that second site as a backdrop, Brandenburg gate is still very visible?

Fascism requires Wagnerian drama. Obama first chose the Brandenburg Gate because he wanted to connect with the imagery of of "Ich bin ein Berliner" and "Mr. Gorbachov Tear Down this Wall." Denied his preferred symbolic location his handlers and the candidate in their collective historical ignorance chose the symbol of Prussian militarism as their rally point. We must face the fact that Obama leads a Fascist (Socialist implementation) movement and he is running for Duce instead of President. Whether he started out this way is debatable but he has evolved into the classic dictator cult of personality candidate. Pity the nation if he is successful in his endeavors.
