Obama Snubs Berlin Wall Ceremonies

President Barack Obama's decision to spurn German President Angela Merkel's invitation to attend ceremonies commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago is "the most telling nonevent of his presidency."
That's the view of National Review Editor Rich Lowry, who notes that Obama has visited more foreign countries than any other president during his first year in office, yet has begged off going to Berlin to celebrate the Nov. 9 anniversary because of a crowded schedule.

"It's hard to imagine any other American president eschewing the occasion," Lowry writes.

"Wouldn't Obama at least want to take the occasion to celebrate freedom and human rights — those most cherished liberal values? Not necessarily. He has mostly jettisoned them as foreign-policy goals in favor of a misbegotten realism that soft-pedals the crimes of nasty regimes around the world.

"During the Cold War, we undermined our enemies by shining a bright light on their repression," Lowry writes.

"In Berlin, JFK called out the Communists on their 'offense against humanity.' Obama would utter such a phrase only with the greatest trepidation, lest it undermine a future opportunity for dialogue."

The Berlin Wall came down because the free world, led by America, stood resolute against communist tyranny. But for Obama, "we are less an exceptional power than one among many, seeking deals with our peers in Beijing and Moscow," Lowry observes.

"Why would Obama want to celebrate the refuseniks of the Eastern Bloc when he won't even meet with the Dalai Lama in advance of his trip to China?"

In short: Why would a freedom-hating president want to celebrate the liberation of the East Germans? This guy is one despicable, pathetic excuse for a human being.

Our best hope is that most rational nations understand the position real Americans are in with a terrorist-enable-coward-mass murdering liar at the helm. They will have to understand that we came through Carter and will come through this. We never lost the respect of those who matter, in spite the lame rhetoric posted here by those who feel a need to run down the country.

What a load. This bozo writes for the Murdoch Slant (aka the NY Post) and this piece of work was no doubt Lowry backing up a promise he made to his boss. Namely: "OK boss. I'll find something somehow to be anti-Obama about". :rolleyes:

It was in the newspaper last week.

Oh...so you mean BO changed his mind and plans on accepting the invitation and attending the ceremonies in Germany? If not...then tell us in what respect is the story a "load"?

This 'Murdoch' thing is becoming more than a passing thing for you.

How 'bout you actually step away from behind that curtain of material you're being fed and actually come out and say something of your own views.

You agree with his no-show?

No surprise.

"In nearly nine months in office, President Obama has found time to meet with Putin. Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega and Vladimir But this week he won't see the Dalai Lama, a peaceful religious leader who has long been a friend to the U.S. and an advocate of human rights for China's six million Tibetans.

Mr. Obama's slight is the first time a sitting president will not meet with the Dalai Lama during a Washington visit since President George H.W. Bush met with him in 1991. No meeting was ever formally on the agenda for this week, but the exiled Tibetan's trip had been planned for years, and earlier this year he had expressed his hope to meet with the President."

If Obama went to Germany the Post would be crying about how much the trip costs in these hard times. That's why the story is load.

And Boxcar, I'll just assume you think I'm wrong. :ThmbUp:

But just so I don't spoil all your fun here, check out the caption under Kennedy's picture in the link below. I'm fairly confident you'll like it too. :p

I could care less if he goes or not. Anyway, the 25th anniversary is bigger anyway.

President Obama sure knows how to pick his spots. :p

The fall of the Berlin wall is a dark day for BO and the libs.
The failure of socialism/communism and the rise of freedom. Everything a lib hates. I'm surprised BO hasn't come out with a 5 year plan yet.

So you would put a diplomatic trip to Germany to celebrate freedom in the same frivolous category as a Michelle shopping spree?

And Boxcar, I'll just assume you think I'm wrong. :ThmbUp:

I don't have to assume anything with you. By default you're wrong because you have never gotten anything right. (For example, I'm still waiting to hear back from you as to what the bipartisan opposition count was on the HC House bill.) :rolleyes:

But just so I don't spoil all your fun here, check out the caption under Kennedy's picture in the link below. I'm fairly confident you'll like it too. :p [/qote]

I do 'cause it shows that Kennedy had more class in the tip of his pinky than BO has in all his body.

That's fine, and gorgeously stated. Now ... please address the subject. I swear I am NOT expecting the pat "It's a non-story; yer trippin'" answer. Please prove me right.

Well he didn't attend in person, probably because they weren't giving him an award, but he did manage to put together a video response (http://vodpod.com/watch/2490172-obamas-surprise-video-address-to-berlin-on-anniversary-of-fall-of-berlin-wall). Something like on the awards shows when the entertainers are to big to schlep down to receive the award in person, so they send over a taped reply.
Limbaugh noticed that they had the reverb on high, what he refers to as Obama's "god voice".

But even in a short 2.5 minute speech, not surprisingly he managed to heap praise on the wonder of himself.:rolleyes:

So Obama says "No one could have foreseen on that day that German ally America would be led by a man of African descent".

Little did I know that America electing Obama was a direct outcome of the fall of the Berlin wall. there must not have been a dry eye in the house over there where they watched this. So moving, so inspirational.:(

No one could have foreseen the day America would put a suit on a turd.

He sent Hillary and the crowd kept chanting. "Eva, Eva....."
