Ich Bin Ein Berliner

"Ich bin ein Berliner" were the words uttered by John F Kennedy at his famous speech in West Berlin in the '60s. The people here loved the statement, 'I am a Berliner' even tho' he apparently meant to say "Ich bin Berliner" which properly translates to 'I am a citizen of Berlin'.










Especially since a berliner is a jelly doughnut or jambuster to the Canadians.

No one can say for sure which statement Kennedy actuallz made, but you have all heard the line about the truth and a good story.
