Barack Speaks

“In Europe, the view that America is part of what has gone wrong in our
world, rather than a force to help us make it right, has become all too
common,”
he said. “Yes, there have been differences between America and
Europe. “No
doubt, there will be differences in the future.

But the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together,” Obama
continued. “A change of leadership in Washington will not lift this burden. In
this new century,
Americans and Europeans alike will be required to do more,
not less.”

Invoking the fall of the Berlin Wall after the historic call by President
Ronald Reagan at the nearby Brandenburg Gate, Obama declared that the greatest
danger now “is to allow new walls to divide us from one another.”
