I don't think this time was the best for the US but for sure he was a fine president. One of the best ones. Unfortunately he had more enemies in his homeland than any other place around the world.

Just look at the popular reception Kennedy got from all kinds of people. Can you imagine any other President being received with such such joy and hopefulness?
I don’t think anyone could understand what exactly Kennedy was and why he is so universally loved more than this video. 20 years after we had defeated them as nemesis. This man comes up and has a crowd of millions of Germans shouting his name in admiration and waving American flags. Like a Roman consul during a triumph.

No US President has ever drawn such enthusiastic and numerous crowds overseas as JFK did. Reagan just followed in his footsteps, and didn't arouse half as much excitement.
It was a different time and the communists were on their heels when Reagan made his speech. In 1963, the communists were still advancing and it was an open question which side would prevail. There was great fear and apprehension in 1963 whether the USA would go to all out war to protect the enclave of West Berlin. That heightened fear did not exist in 1987 when Reagan delivered his speech. One could say that the shoe was now on the other foot.
Yes he sure was. More than his other brothers & more so than most US politicians both back THEN & most definitely much much better than all US politicians since his death till present day.......
Kennedy had some major faults in his personal life, but life is about balance. He made mistakes as a President, but some great accomplishments too. The men who were on the PT 109 with him had nothing but good things to say about his leadership.
I remember we came dangerously close to going to war over West Berlin. Those old kinescopes of Checkpoint Charlie poignantly demonstrated this for everyone to see. Sure am glad that war didn't break out after all!
It's crazy I live on the same street 1km from the Rathaus where he gives the line "ich bin ein Berliner' at the end. Last month, there was a school teachers strike & rally at the same spot, but less people :)
Mr. President, Mr Kennedy was a capable Man. So as Mr. President Mr. Reagan, Mr. President, Mr. President Nixon..

Around this time, my mom got my dad a shortwave radio for their anniversary. Dad heard JFK's Berlin Wall address on that radio, and he loved both the radio and this speech by Kennedy. Dad felt that this speech was very powerful in its meaning. He also felt that his shortwave radio was his connection to the world; he spent a good deal of time listening to broadcasts from Canada, the US, West Germany, and so on.
It's interesting that Stalin didn't support the idea of dividing Germany. Moreover, Stalin suggested that West and East parts of Germany join together back to 1950s, but on condition that it would be a neutral state and it wouldn't join NATO. But NATO states refused.
That was not the question, there was an interpretator there. You need to research the whole speech because President Kennedy acknowledged the interpretator during the whole speech.

Well Berliner is a person who lives in Berlin, but you would say Ich bin Berliner. With the ein added in he called himself a certain type of cake. I don't remember what type exactly.
I find him so sympathatic PS.:The moment when you are from germany and you know he made a mistake Its called ,,Ich bin Berliner" not ,,Ich bin ein Berliner" but still he was a good President
My German friends have all told me that what Kennedy said isn't actually grammatically incorrect, and no one in Germany thought twice about it at the time either. Apparently it was only the Americans who gave him a hard time about the alternate "jelly donut" meaning.

How many people in the crowd could actually understand his speech? I'm surprised by how many people applauded him whilst he was speaking in English.
There was an interpretator there speaking in German. President Kennedy introduced him to the crowd before he began his speech.
the germans learn english in the school so almost every german speak english
That was not the question, there was an interpretator there. You need to research the whole speech because President Kennedy acknowledged the interpretator during the whole speech.
Barbara Long He only acknowledged the intepretator when he said "Ich bin ein Berliner", presumably he just translated that into German for him?
Will you listen to the interpretator translating the speech into German he can be heard in the speech released by the Kennedy Library.
