It is true that the German word Berliner can denote either a person who is a citizen of Berlin, or a particular kind of jelly-filled pastry.

And it should be noted that the name of the jelly donut is highly regional, similar to the usage of pop/soda/coke in America.
Here in Berlin they’re called “Pfannkuchen.”

From About.com Urban Legends

This is truly The Gaffe That Never Was, notwithstanding reports to the contrary in venues as prestigious as the New York Times and Newsweek magazine. Experts say Kennedy’s grammar was flawless when he uttered those words in German near the Berlin Wall on June 26, 1963. The phrase had been translated for him by a professional interpreter.

It is true that the German word Berliner can denote either a person who is a citizen of Berlin, or a particular kind of jelly-filled pastry. But look at it this way: if I were to tell a group of Americans that my editor is a New Yorker, would any of them really think I’ve confused him with a certain weekly magazine of the same name?

I hope that one day, Obama will get to take a day off, sleep in , and just never get around to saying anything at all. Then we’ll finally have proof that he’s a secret atheist.
