Obama to Snub German Celebration of the Fall of Communism
President Barrack Obama continues to insult allies of the United States, not to mention his own countrymen. Gateway Pundit reports that Obama is planning to skip the 20 year celebration of the fall of communism. An offer to attend was extended by the German Chancellor Angela Merkel.This celebration is a big deal for one of best allies and it should be for us as well. Reportedly Hilary Clinton is going to stand in for president. Apparently two days after the event he is to travel to Asia. I guess Air Force One can’t make both trips. Maybe he is saving on jet fuel. You know, to cut back on spending.
How much longer are we going to stand for this man to embarrass us? He won’t be attending the celebration of one of the great moments in history yet he is going to fly over and pick up his fraud Peace Prize award. It’s disgusting.
First, it is another slight to another European ally — one that is going all-out to celebrate the event. The invitation to Obama was extended personally by Chancellor Angela Merkel last June.
Second, it is a failure to correct the historical misstatement of his citizen-of-the-world address last year in Berlin, when he credited the fall of the wall to the “world standing as one” and failed even to mention the names of John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.
Third, it is an embarrassment for the United States not to be represented at the highest level for the commemoration of an event of this magnitude. As Matt Welch writes in the November issue of Reason magazine, November 1989 was “the most liberating month of arguably the most liberating year in human history” — the end of the Soviet Union and communism in Europe and a 50-year Cold War that was a worldwide ideological battle. It was battle led by America.
Fourth, it is an opportunity for Obama to give a speech in which he does not apologize for his country but celebrates the triumph of freedom that has been the driving force of American history from its beginning through his own election. As a former president eloquently said, the power of liberty is one that “brought settlers on perilous journeys, inspired colonies to rebellion, ended the sin of slavery, and set our nation against the tyrannies of the 20th century.” The American president should be in Berlin on November 9 to celebrate a moment that was a triumph for America as well as Germany.
I don’t understand why this man is President. Seems to me he does not love this country, what it has stands for and what it has accomplished. I dearly hope that this man’s policies fail. Epic fail. I dearly hope that this man is one and done. I have never in my life seen such incompetence and disrespect from an administration as we are witnessing today. And we are to believe this man believes in democracy and not Marxism? Not likely.
