Title: Obama to press Europe on security in Berlin

BERLIN (Reuters) - U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama is expected to call on Europe to do more in hotspots like Afghanistan when he speaks in Berlin on Thursday in his only formal address of a week-long foreign tour.

Obama held talks with Chancellor Angela Merkel on issues ranging from the global economy to Iran, Iraq and Middle East peace on a trip he hopes will burnish his foreign policy credentials and boost his election chances against Republican challenger John McCain.

His evening speech at the "Victory Column" in Berlin's Tiergarten park is already being compared in the German media to former President John F. Kennedy's 1963 "Ich bin ein Berliner" address.

Okay, WTF is up with this asshole?  This is not campaigning or anything even close.  He is acting as if he has al ready been elected, and has the right to state US foreign policy.

He did no such thing.

His speech was a bunch of platitudes with no real meat in it.  Even the audience, which wanted to like him, gave him a lukewarm response.

I caught part of that today.  Are the print reporters trying to bolster his standing even more?

Well, perhaps it will backfire a bit, since the Germans as a whole are not real keen on the Afghan Adventure.  They've been more willing and capable partners than the rest of the EU (except the Brits, or course), but their appetite for buying into a bigger piece of it is nonexistent.

Did he deliver the speech in German?  Or was he hoplessly stammering "Merci beaucoups?"
