The Senator Barack Obama is in Germany on Thursday in the middle of a high expectation of an evening speech, it is ready to deliver here, in the Tiergarten, the German capital the equivalent of Central Park. As he meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other officials, he has tried to interfere in another task: the reduction of expectations.

“I doubt that we are facing a million Germans are screaming - let’s tamp expectations,” Mr. Obama said, it has here in Tel-Aviv, jokes he has recently learned that his audience should be large. “We sort, on top of all the threads of the sudden disappearance.”

Mr. Obama, this is almost the last days of his first international trip as a candidate for the presidency, sailed a policy from top-day, as he traveled through Iraq, Afghanistan, Jordan and Jerusalem. Germany, France and Britain are on the agenda this week, he works to show, even on the world stage on a journey, was strongly encouraged by his campaign.

“I think that the world is very interested in this election. I think they are greedy one direction, where the America, that happens,” said Obama, are in the street of his plan the campaign. “Certainly, there is a curiosity factor in question.”

Mr. Obama met for about an hour with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in the Federal Chancellery, an afternoon with Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Stein Meier. Mr. Obama, which has recognised on Thursday that he did not welcome his trip week, said he also hope a break in the afternoon prior to delivering his speech evening.

Support for the Obama campaign have suggested that the speech of Berlin was neither a campaign or a political event. When a journalist asked whether the senator gave the address of a campaign, he said with a puzzled look: “Unlike?”

“It is not a political meeting,” he added. “We hope that this as a reason for shaping the relationship between, I would like to see United States and in Europe. I hope that by communicating across the Atlantic, the value of these relationships and how should we use. ”

Although Mr Obama May probably the first candidate for the presidential elections of the United States to deliver a speech in Berlin, several presidents have important addresses in the city, including John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Mr. Obama haussé shoulders off the comparisons.

“They were President, I am a citizen,” said Obama. “But Berlin is clearly a proxy for the extraordinary success of the post-World War II efforts to address the entire continent and in the West pick. Then, later, the East and West. So I think this is a place of course to speak. ”

While the fans designed in the streets of Berlin on Thursday, hoping to gain an overview of Mr. Obama, it accepted that a central part of the audience is the United States.

“There is no doubt,” he said, “are part of what I want on both sides of the Atlantic is the enormous potential for us a feeling of the meeting.”
