BERLIN, July 18, 2008 (FFN) As Berliners went about their daily business, they were shocked to learn of the enormous loss suffered by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) today.
It seems that Sen. Obama’s dream of delivering a speech before thousands in front of the Brandenburg Gate, the very same place where two great American presidents—John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Ronald Reagan—have so proudly stood, is not to be.
In what is viewed as a compromise, Obama, the presumptive US Democratic presidential candidate, will not speak directly at the Brandenburg Gate as originally proposed.
Instead, Obama will speak next to a 67-meter column topped with the golden image of the Roman goddess Victory. The Brandenburg Gate, an iconic symbol of Berlin’s reunification, will be 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) at the opposite end of a tree-lined boulevard.
Sen. Obama’s aspirations will have to wait for another photo op.

“…next to a 67-meter column topped with the golden image of the Roman goddess Victory.”
Obama is delusional. Funny. That’s the way Hitler started out. It never got any better for him either.
