Kerry on Obama Berlin speech:

On the speech itself, Kerry said it was "not just historic but unbelievably exciting at the grassroots level" to see "an American leader" cheered on foreign soil after so many years of world opinion being against Bush's policies.

By This Foreign Policy Speech Will Future Ones Be Measured:

For the typical politician, speaking in Berlin as an American on the way to the White House would surely be viewed as a most daunting prospect. After all, most Americans can say at least one line from each of two President's speeches in Berlin that were considered watersheds: JFK's quite brief "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech in June 1963, and Ronald Reagan's tear down this wall speech in June 1987.

How could you top those speeches by two icons?

You give the speech that Barack Obama gave today.
