On November 9, 1989, Germans on both sides of the Berlin Wall joined together to breach the barrier that divided them and begin reuniting their country. In a taped address, the President speaks about the importance of this pivotal event and how it remains a powerful symbol of the triumph of freedom over tyranny. November 9, 2009. (Public Domain)

1. The united world order is power behind the proud nations of future. The world will be one body, one heart of nation. The nation will be peace and justice for whole planet. God's democracy is future of mankind. -bass109
2. Ok Obama, now tell Israel to tear down their walls. Most don't even know they have them. -wojtek0000 3. This was a great statement, and I'm amazed that some would find a way to politicize it and twist it. I guess that, once people have made up their minds to be negative, prejudiced, and malicious, there's really no human power that could convince them to change for the better. This was a great message of remembrance and congratulations, and anyone who sees it in any other way is really in need of a strong reality check and a thorough attitude adjustment.-armyveteran101st
4. Where's Ronald Reagan! In neither this speech shown on screens at the Wall nor Hillary Clinton's given in person, is Reagan mentioned. Clinton spoke of the Poles (Solidarity), a Polish Pope (Pope John Paul II), etc., but no President of the United States who stood up to the Soviet Union. I see President Obama has room in his speech to mention John Kennedy and himself. To not include Ronald Reagan in at least one of these speeches shows this administration is trying to rewrite history! -stereokid
5. History records that it was the United States, the country of exceptionalism, t forced the hands of the Communist Soviet regime. Millions died, and millions were enslaved by the oppression of big brother of the post WW2 era. Evil Empire remember?


It grieves me to think that big brother is alive and well in America. What will the new world big brother look like? Is it morphing in front of our eyes with the Obama administration? Vote Conservative not Republican! -angus8181
6. You can't guarantee something like that, moron! It's already past tense! How can you guarantee something like that? What criticism can come of attending an anniversary?


Now try to invent one.

And you act as though our criticisms are wrong. Try to consider the fact that he's done NOTHING to improve this country. We care about jobs and the economy, but he's concerned about cult-of-personality, and shoving incompetent government health care down our throats! We don't need that kind of shit! -QuartuvLarry
