Obama's Berlin Speech.

I didn't see Obama's speech in Berlin, but I have read it. It seems rather dull stuff, short on specifics other than a need for togetherness to solve world problems. And this phrase People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time. is used throughout the speech. Why? What is Berlin the moment or time for now? Berlin was the time and place for the speeches by Kennedy and Reagan. Other than a need for Obama to appear to have the aura of those two presidents, the connection between Berlin and any current crisis Obama said togetherness under him could solve is tenuous, like the connection between Al Gore's Climate Change campaign and a Nobel Peace Prize.

On a more meaningful front, Tony is learning how to play peek-a-boo. He stand himself up by leaning against the couch and will alternately hide and make his head appear from behind it. Remarkable, so full of substance and deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize.
