Quotes

...What comes to mind when you think about John F Kennedy? Chances are it's his Inaugural Address ( "Ask not ... '). When we think of Franklin D Roosevelt, we remember his rhetorical touchstones -- 'nothing to fear but fear itself,' 'a day that will live in infamy' -- and his fireside chats. And it isn't just Democrats -- Republicans have elevated Ronald Reagan's 1987 speech at the Brandenburg Gate, where he said, 'Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!', to a kind of magical incantation that almost literally sent the concrete crumbling (the subtitle of one book by an admirer breathlessly calls it 'The Speech That Ended the Cold War'). Two years or so from now, when he starts campaigning for re-election in earnest, Obama will attempt to re-create those stirring feelings that got him to the White House. And we'll want him to, because we want once again to feel that uplift, that energy, that possibility. It won't be quite the same, though. After spending a few years mired in the prose of governing, the poetry may not move us quite so much."

...This was his report, which appeared in the Dec. 11, 1989, issue of U S News & World Report: USN.load( "Loomia'); The most popular postcard in Berlin today has four pictures on it, three of them East Berlin's Brandenburg Gate: in 1950, unobstructed; in 1961, obscured by the Wall in November, 1989, as background to thousands standing triumphantly on the Wall.

Obama fires up Berlin Wall celebrations [Hindustan Times - 11/14/2009]

...In that speech at the Brandenburg Gate, Reagan batted the ball right into Gorbachov's court: "General Secretary Gorhachov, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek liberalisation: Come here to this gate! Mr Gorbachov, tear down this wall!"
