Nit: picked

Internet reactions seem to be mostly laudatory, but I thought Obama was oddly off his game for the big Berlin speech, flubbing lines throughout the 24 minutes. A pretty uneven performance. But I guess his media narrative of Obama=great orator is durable enough that even a mediocre delivery will garner descriptions such as "soaring address" and "powerful speech".

And let me just clarify here that my gripe is with the delivery of the speech, not its substance. I try to focus on the important stuff.
