Barack Obama visiting Germany after attending the G-8 summit in Northern Ireland. The city center was closed off for several hours. NGO reactions and demonstrations were kept well away from the Brandenburger Tor where Obama's speech was to be held. Only 4,500 were able to attend the U-S president's speech while the rest watched him on television screens on the sidewalks. While Obama was busying with his visit to Berlin, Amnesty International took actions to evidence Obamas unkept promise of closing Guantanamo. Another important issue was the US Drone attacks that are raging on against other countries and are considered as a violation of international law.

What a difference 5 years make: Obama braves blistering Berlin heat to make speech before invite-only crowd of 4,500 (that's 195,500 FEWER than last time he was in Germany)
President removed his jacket and mopped his brow as he battled the 86F heat at the Brandenburg Gate

Obama told crowd: 'We must redouble our efforts to close the prison at Guantanamo'
Speech in front of an invited crowd of 6,000 people compared to 200,000 who attended Obama's Berlin speech in 2008 before he was President

...AND, WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO NOT LIMIT ONES SELF TO ONLYONE SIDE OF A STORY...LIKE THE INVITED GROUP TO OUR PRESIDENT'S SPEECH AND IN A SENSE MR. OBAMA WAS NOT EVEN IN THE SAME GERMANY THIS TIME (WHICH WAS THE THEME OF HIS SPEECH)THAT HE WAS IN THE LAST TIME WHICH MAKES THIS TRIP BOTH IMPORTANT AS HE WAS THE FIRST AMERICAN PRESIDENT IN GERMAN AND AMERICAN HISTORY TO MAKE A SPHEECH WHERE HE MADE IS AND IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FEWER PEOPLES THIS TIME...BUT HE STILL HAS HIS ALMOST 100% RATINGS FROM ALL OF GERMANS.

OH AND JAKE, I AM WILLING TO BET MY LIFE THIS PERSON WHO WROTE THIS HAS NOT WRITTEN AND ARTICLE ON OUR FAMOUS 'LEAKER' EDWARD SNOWDEN'S SAYINGHEWOULD NOT HAVE LEAKED ALL OF THAT ABOUT BUSH'S TOURTURE IN SECRET DIFFERENT NATIONS ON HIS PATRIOT ACT BILL IF MR. OBAMA HAD CLOSED GITMO...BUT WHY WOULD ANYONE WHO DON'T BELIEVE MR. OBAMA IS ONLY TRYING TO SHOW A NONWORKINGCONGRESS THAT HE IS NOT A DICTATOR WHICH IS WORKING AS GOOD AS TRYING TO GET IT ACROSS IT WAS MCCAIN NOT HE THAT WAS BORN ON FOREIGN SOIL ASBOTHOF THIER BIRTH CERTIFIC SAYS...BUT, IF HE HAD DONE THIS THEN WE WOULDNOT HAVE THE PLEASURE OF GLEEN BECK AND HIS WHITE SUPREMIST CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT OUT THER CORRECTING ALL THAT DR. KING MESSED UP FOR JIM CROW....AND, LIKE PIR [RESIDENT, I WOULDNOT LIKE IF HE HAD DONE ANY THING TOHAVE PREVENTED AMERICA NEEDING THIS MOVEMENT...

AND, IN FACT JAKE I DO THANK YOU FOR YOUR BLOGS AS I AM SURE THEY WENT A LONG WAY IN HELPING TO BRING BECK ABOUT. (SMILE)

IN FACT JAKE OUR PRESIDENT'S SPEECH WAS ABOUT HOW J.F.K. 50 YEARS AGO ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT BERKUBE SIDE WALL WHERE HE SPOKE THE LAST TIMEHE WAS THERE AS DID J.F.K AND REAGAN AND KEENEDY HAD PROMISED THEM AS MR. OBAMA SIDE ABOUTT HE STRUGGLE TO HELP GOVERNMENTS AS RESULTSOF WAR TO SUFFER AND JUST LIKE IN TIS SPEECH HE WAS ON HE OTHER SIDE WHERE KENNEDY WAS NOT ALLOW TO GO...HE WAS THERE SO IT WAS LIKE A SYMBLE THAT GITMO WOULDNOTLAST FOREVER BECAUE AS HE SAID, "THE STRUGGLE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS CONTINUES!!!...

AGAIN THERE IS A VALUE AND A PPROTECTION FOR SOME TO LIMIT THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO ONLYONE SIDE OF A STORY AND NOT HTE WHOLE STORY. (S-M-I-L-E)...

LONG LIVE GLEEN BECK...

SO JAKE, LET ME REPEAT...AS A SENATOR HE WAS ON HESIDE OF THE BERLIN WALL THAT AMERICANS WERE ALLOW TO SPEAK AT...AS PRESIDENT HE WAS ON HESIDE OF THE BERLIN WALL AS THE FIRST AMERICAN PRESIDENT TO EVER BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK ON THAT SIDE OF THE BERLIN WALL...WHAT A GREAT AND HISTORICAL HONOR THIS WAS FORA-L- AMERICANS(HUMANS) WHO SEEK UNITY. (S-M-I-L-E)
