And a crowd of cheering Germans would never make a bad choice.
In his speach he said “No walls can stand between people”…. Wow! That would have been really meaningful back in the 80’s. Or wait, maybe he meant the border fence down Mexico way…
The Berlin speech in particular, and the fanfare European stops in general, are clearly emerging as mistakes on Obama’s part. If he had stuck to what he did in the Mideast and the war zones, then appeared in Europe with quiet dignity, it would (as we say at Passover) have been enough. Or, as they used to say in Germany, sometimes less is more.
