Peter Robinson, the White House wordsmith who drafted the address, said its most famous line was inspired by a conversation with Ingeborg Elz of West Berlin who had remarked in a conversation with him, "If this man Gorbachev is serious with his talk of Glasnost and perestroika he can prove it by getting rid of this wall." [19] At the end of the day, though we remember the words “tear down this wall” as the speech’s most influential element, the message and goal of the speech is what formulated Reagan’s greatest legacy as a true influencer and communicator. Instead of intimidating Gorbachev like most other leaders would have done to tear down the Berlin Wall, Reagan peacefully tests Gorbachev’s intentions and compliments him on his goals for Perestroika and Glasnost during his speech. WIth his peaceful delivery of the speech, Reagan earns Gorbachev's trust and hopefully gains his inspiration to decide on the Berlin Wall’s fate. [20] en.wikipedia.org! the most important line spoken by a president during the last half of the century -- Seriously, you think this is the most important line said by a president in the last half century? If Barack Obama had said it, it would have meant nothing. Coming from Reagan, it was enough to change the world. Wow. The Obama jealousy is strong in you.
