sammyec wins! JFK said that in West Berlin during the Berlin crisis. Germany was split into communist East Germany and Democratic West Germany. Berlin was divided too. So Kennedy tried to rally support in Berlin by giving a speech there. In the speech, he decided to try to say "I am a Berliner" in German, or in other words "I am for Berlin". He ended up saying, "Ish Bin Ein Berliner", which basically means, "I am a jelly doughnut. XD

Its hard pronouncing in two different languages. It would've been Ich bin ein Berliner.

This is why Americans can't have nice things.

Regardless, the Berlin crowd went wild anyways. It's 70% how you look, 20% how you sound, and 10% what you say.

"There is a misconception that Kennedy made a risible error by saying Ich bin ein Berliner (emphasis added): the claim is made that Kennedy referred to himself not as a "citizen of Berlin", but as a "jelly doughnut", known in parts of Germany as a "Berliner".[8][9] Kennedy should, supposedly, have said Ich bin Berliner to mean "I am a person from Berlin", and so adding the indefinite article ein to his statement implied he was a non-human Berliner, thus, "I am a jelly doughnut".[10] However, while the indefinite article ein is omitted when speaking of an individual's profession or residence, it is still necessary when speaking in a figurative sense as Kennedy did. Since the President was not literally from Berlin but only declaring his solidarity with its citizens, "Ich bin ein Berliner" was correct.[10]"
