Obama in Berlin?

July 5th, 2008 · No Comments

Der Spiegel is reporting that Obama may give a speech in front of the Brandenburg Gate — which would, of course, lead to another round of articles wondering if Obama is the "liberal Reagan."  

A member of Obama’s campaign has already met with Berlin’s mayor, Klaus Wowereit, and the Secret Service has reportedly started to investigate security questions surrounding a visit. 

No location has been announced, but the Berlin Senate has reportedly been asked whether Obama can speak in front of the Brandenburg Gate, where former US President Ronald Reagan gave a famous speech in 1987. Reagan made a show of asking then-Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down" the Berlin Wall.
