Obama v. JFK v. Reagan

President Ronald Reagan speaking in Berlin, Germany on June 12, 1987.



Barack Obama speaking in Berlin, Germany on July 24, 2008.


What do these three speeches have in common? What is different about them? Why might have Obama decided to make his speech in Berlin? Does Obama have anything in common with either of these candidates?
