Whenever I read through the list of themes I kept asking myself what I'm going to do for "politics" because that's one of the (many) themes that usually do not just present themselves to you. But then - alas! - the perfect opportunity! I was in Berlin for a big test and decided to stay a few days longer to relax a little but also to do some library work for my thesis. And then everybody got excited about Barack Obama's visit to Berlin and the speech he was going to give at the Siegessäule (Victory Column). So I thought that, while I'm in town and he's in town, it would be a shame not to go there and listen to him and - of course - take some pictures. I lucked out and got to stand right in front of the podium where I was able to actually hear his voice without the speakers. Obama gave a nice speech that was vague as expected but held some promising prospects. Those will still have to be seen fulfilled if he gets elected president, but his intentions are respectable. Berlin for Obama! Pictures taken on Juy 24, 2008.
