Obama Speech at Berlin Victory Column, Berliner Zeitung Says

I wrote earlier about Obama wanting to give a speech at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, but that Bush and His Evil Minions^™ were pressuring German Premier Angela Merkel to turn him down.

Well, he's going to give his speech at the Berlin Victory column (see also here) instead.

The gate is in the distant background, for what it's worth.

Background here.
