Tear Down these Walls

.
In the freshness of the moment, as Barack Obama concludes his speech in Berlin and leaves the stage, this is abundantly clear:

The Afghanistan-Iraq-Middle East leg of his trip affirmed he is ready and able to be commander in chief.

And today, before cheering throngs in Berlin, he affirmed he has the leadership qualities and skills to restore our historic role in the world community.

He challenges...and invites...the world to join in his hope-full quest.
Of tearing down the walls that divide us, and forming a more perfect union. A global union. And the positive response is powerful and unmistakable.
.

And the punditizing is oh-so-redundant.
