Figures… Obama Skips Anniversary of Fall of Berlin Wall, Sends a Video & Talks About Himself

One international leader was conspicuously absent at the 20 Year Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall today.

Even the Russian President made it there.

Obama sent a video instead.

Even worse- Obama spoke about himself to the crowd:

“Few would have seen on that day that… that their American ally would be led by a man of African descent.”

And, of course, he did not mention Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher in his speech.

I think Rush Limbaugh nailed it a week or two ago. If Pres. Obama had time to jaunt to Europe to try bringing the Olympics to Chicago, you’d think he could at least make an appearance for this in Berlin.

This is indecent!

I do not know what Bozo said, but I can imagine that the message was ” hey guys, while your over there celebrating freedom over suppression, I’m over here setting up repression over freedom. Just thought I would drop you guys a vline, and say what’s up hommies?’ Out.”

What I heard of it I could not understand because they had the voice of the messiah reverb on and it made it sound like gibberish. Wait, that is what the obamao normally sounds like. Never mind.

His favorite subject in the speech he made on the video was……..him.

Not a word about Reagan or Thatcher.

If he were honest, Obama would have said how much he misses Communism.

if BHO can’t benefit from whatever the occasion, it’s a no go.. what is truly disturbing however, is how he manages to pop up everywhere whenever he feels like it.. which definitely strikes me as being a “dictator” trait..

Obama has hated Ronald Reagan his entire life.

Obama’s ongoing hatred of Reagan will prevent him from EVER improving the economy. think about it, we all know that some sort of tax cuts will be needed to end the economic downturn. Obama will never do it as it would be tossed in his face that Reagan was right!

O is a traitor to Western Civ. It gets clearer every day. He should be impeached (but then, we have too many treasonous traitors in the Congress to do it, much less find him a traitor to the Constitution). He is one sick puppy. He HATES America, he hates freedom, he hates everything good that Reagan stood for, and for all the values that made America the land that people came to in order to be free.

Natan Sharansky wrote about how Reagan’s words gave him and the other imprisoned dissidents in the Soviet Union hope and strength. Obama ignores the plight of the Iranians who boldly marched against Ahmadinejad.

He is clearly a thug, a tyrant-wannabee, a Marxist-Leninist, and a sociopathic narcissist. HOW MUCH CLEARER DOES IT GET?

He can fly to New York for dinner and theatre at taxpayer expense, because he “won.” But the rending of the Iron Curtain…? A freeing of millions from bondage and not even a glimmer of empathy from a guy who constantly reminds everyone about bondage, ended a century and a half ago in America? What, only one bondage counts, no one else rates? It’s theoretical to Obama, but real to Eastern Europeans, and America not only freed her own slaves, but went on to free people all over the world, and he doesn’t think it worthy of his time, and obviously his like-minded bulging team of advisors and czars aren’t urging him to be a statesman, either. But fly to Norway for an empty flattery, forgettable Peace Prize, yeh.

There are DUTIES of a POTUS, to represent the nation in high and historically significant ceremonies such as this one, but Obama is only concerned about what he wants.

A modern Belshazzar? The man who was set in place as king to guard the capital while the other king went to fight, and thought it was all parties, and that the national treasury was for his personal whims?
