Speaking at the foot of the Victory Column in the German capital the Democratic presidential nominee told the cheering crowd that the world "cannot afford to be divided" and held out the concept of a planet free of nuclear weapons.

Police estimate that Obama gave his speech in front of more than 200,000 people. http://www.spiegel.de/ Not bad considering most of his audience were not native English speakers.
Check out this slideshow (http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-33614.html) from Obama's trip to Berlin.
My favorites are # 18 (Obamafest), and #22 (The lone voice in the wilderness, i.e. a McCain supporter in Berlin).
It's going to be interesting to see the reaction of those Germans who watched his speech.
Of course we can't forget about McSame, not to be outdone by Obama's trip to Europe, and his speech in Berlin, I heard that Johnny went to a German restaurant in Ohio today...
