As a native Berliner who lived through the after-war period I take exception to your classification “Obama before the mobs in Berlin”.
Round about 70 thousand people taking the pains to walk through the Tiergarten park squeezing and getting squeezed into the narrowest spaces to greet and listen to a foreign politician should not be called a mob. Imagine that many of this “mob” probably have a personal history linked with East German dictatorship and probably have looked over their shoulders before talking openly about political matters.
I have great admiration like many Berliners for the American people and I wish you all a happy 4th of July
