Senator Barack Obama addressed 200,000 people on Thursday July 24th in Berlin, near the site where the Berlin Wall once stood. This graph shows the top 10 words used in Obama's speech. The Democratic presidential hopeful's speech metaphorically used the Berlin Wall, a Cold War icon, to reassure cross-Atlantic alliance.
"The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand."
Since last January Germany has swiftly developed "Obama-mania". Sen. Obama's speech, as a proud citizen of the US and a fellow citizen of the world, acknowledges this popularity.
"People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time."
During the Bush administration, relations between Europe and the United States were often strained. Obama's Berlin speech underscores new hope and optimism between Europe and America.
"America has no better partner than Europe. Now is the time to build new bridges across the globe as strong as the one that bound us across the Atlantic. Now is the time to join together, through constant cooperation, strong institutions, shared sacrifice, and a global commitment to progress, to meet the challenges of the 21st century."
"Obama-mania" may evaporate rather quickly if the senator becomes president. However Sen. Obama's visits throws a strong signal of an imminent improvement in the transatlantic relationship. —apurba
