Barack Obama verspricht bei seinem Berlinbesuch Abrüstung
und besticht durch Lässigkeit. Seine Frau und die Kinder studieren deutsche

friedlich und geduldig.

President Obama Speaks to the People of Berlin
from the Brandenburg
Gate

Nearly 50 years to the day after President John F. Kennedy
delivered his historic speech to a city divided by the Cold War, President
Obama spoke to the people of Berlin about the
deep and enduring bonds between the United States
and Germany,
and the values we share.
A symbol of the Germany’s progress since President
Kennedy’s visit, President Obama spoke from the east side of Brandenburg Gate –
something that would have been impossible if not for the collapse of the Berlin
Wall.
“While I am not the first American President to come to this
gate, I am proud to stand on its Eastern side to pay tribute to the past,”
President Obama said.
For throughout all this history, the fate of this city came
down to a simple question: Will we live
free or in chains? Under governments
that uphold our universal rights, or regimes that suppress them? In open societies that respect the sanctity
of the individual and our free will, or in closed societies that suffocate the
soul?
This is what was at stake here in Berlin, President Obama said.
And because courageous crowds climbed atop that wall,
because corrupt dictatorships gave way to new democracies, because millions
across this continent now breathe the fresh air of freedom, we can say, here in
Berlin, here in Europe
-- our values won. Openness won. Tolerance won. And freedom won here in Berlin.
But two decades later, this work is not yet done, President
Obama said. “Today’s threats are not as stark as they were half a century ago,
but the struggle for freedom and security and human dignity -- that struggle
goes on.”
I say all this here, in the heart of Europe, because our
shared past shows that none of these challenges can be met unless we see
ourselves as part of something bigger than our own experience. Our alliance is
the foundation of global security. Our trade and our commerce is the engine of
our global economy. Our values call upon us to care about the lives of people
we will never meet.
When Europe and America lead with our hopes instead
of our fears, we do things that no other nations can do, no other nations will
do. So we have to lift up our eyes today
and consider the day of peace with justice that our generation wants for this
world.
Advancing the values our two nations believe in also means
pursuing a world without nuclear weapons, which is why President Obama
announced new steps today to reduce our deployed strategic nuclear weapons by
up to one-third.
While in Berlin,
President Obama also held bilateral meetings with German President Joachim
Gauck, and the country’s Chancellor, Angela Merkel. President Obama and
Chancellor Merkel held a joint press conference following their discussion.
