In one of the most theatrical events of his campaign, Barack Obama called today for closer ties between Europe and the United States in a speech to more than 200,000 Germans at a towering monument to Prussian war triumphs.

The sea of people stretched a mile across the Tiergarten, Berlin's central park, from the Victory Column where Obama spoke to the historic Brandenburg Gate in the distance.

For his arrival, Obama, dressed in a business suit, walked alone around the Victory Column, a giant pillar near the center of the park. It is a monument to Prussian war victories of the 19th century.

The crowd roared as he walked several hundred feet down a makeshift runway to the lectern where he stood for the speech.

OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT!!!
