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.
Germany Wall Anniversary
U.S. President Barack Obama is seen on screens during a video message at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany, Monday, Nov. 9, 2009, during the commemorations of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on Nov.9, 1989. (AP/Markus Schreiber)

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.

    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?

    Oops…I was incorrect on how I placed the Speaker of the House info on my previous post…I apologize. I hope this post corrects the “Flipping the House and Senate in 2010 and 2012 info. Again…I apologize for the inaccuracy of my earlier post.

    2010 Election:

    U.S. House: Dems=258, Repubs=177, Republicans need to beat 41 democrats to

    take House in 2010 and to have the majority of votes to elect a Republican

    Speaker of the House.

    In the 1994 republican revolution, House republicans picked up 54 seats.

    All of the House is up for reelection in 2010, so all democrats can be

    voted out in 2010.

    ———————————————————

    U.S. Senate: Dems=58, Repubs=40, Independent=2 (Bernie Sanders and Joe

    Leiberman)

    1/3 up for relection every 2 years.

    Republicans need to beat 20 dems to have margin to pass legislation, but

    there are only 17 democrats up for reelection in 2010 to beat, so the

    other 3 added Senate seats will have to be done in 2012.

    In the 1994 republican revolution, Senate republicans picked up 8 seats.

    ———————————————————

    List of Senate Democrats up for reelection or retiring in 2010:

    Ted Kaufman (D) of Delaware
    Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas
    Barbara Boxer of California
    Michael Bennet of Colorado
    Christopher Dodd of Connecticut
    Daniel Inouye of Hawaii
    Roland Burris of Illinois
    Evan Bayh of Indiana
    Barbara Mikulski of Maryland
    Harry Reid of Nevada

    Byron Dorgan of North Dakota
    Ron Wyden of Oregon
    Patrick Leahy of Vermont
    Patty Murray of Washington
    Russ Feingold of Wisconsin
    —————————————————-

    Let’s vote the democrats out in 2010 and restore freedom and dignity to

    America.

    To Jim (owner of blog) could you please delete the first post, but keep the second comment of mine on this story, because I was off on some of my numbers and Speaker of House info.

    I was basically trying to help others see a simple snapshot of the House and Senate, to make it easier for strategy on voting out the democrats.

    I should have just said: Just vote out all the democrats and RINO’s.

    This is so pathetic. I, told the story of the Fall of the Wall to my son today who had no frame of reference for grasping its true meaning being too young to have witnessed it and with school barely mentioning it today.. I feel there are those that are trying to expunge our collective memories of the events that define us as Americans.. the stories must be told to our children, more now than ever I believe.. Obama can do his cowardly big screen “present” show, but I’ll be telling the stories that make us uniquely American to anyone who’ll listen.

    IT is pathetic indeed.

    Even worse, we see Hillary Clinton on the scene, the one who said “human rights” wouldn’t be an issue for the Obama Team.

    A real embarrassment, knowing the Democratic Partisans, like Hillary Clinton, actually opposed the same policies of the Reagan Era, which liberated most of Europe.

    Not to mention Reagan, Thatcher, Pope JP, etc., is a true insult to all.

    But what can one expect?

    The shear image of Mrs. Merkel, who was once oppressed behind the WALL, now the leader of a free Germany, speaks volumes of the success of the USA and the Free West.

    Too bad Democrats are so eager to push the oppression upon the USA.

    Here a comment from a reader.

    Melanie – Good article but please do your research !

    Cultural Marxism and Political Correctness started in a think tank (called The Frankfurt School) in Germany in 1923. The purpose was to find a solution to the biggest problem facing the implementers of communism in Russia. Why wasn’t the wonderful idea of communism spreading?
    The Frankfurt school recommended (amongst other things):
    1. the creation of racism offences
    2. continual change to create confusion
    3. the teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
    4. the undermining of schools and teachers’ authority
    5. huge immigration to destroy national identity
    6. the promotion of excessive drinking
    7. emptying the churches
    8. an unreliable legal system with bias against the victim of crime
    9. dependency on the state or state benefits
    10. control and dumbing down of media
    11. encouraging the breakdown of the family
    Sound all too familiar? Yes – Great Britain 1997 onwards……

    just a sample:

    Make Room, Al Gore: Obama’s Nobel Prize is Also For Climate Change

    conclusion:

    “You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!” ~ B Hussein O

    oh yeah.. Gore expects Obama to attend Dec. climate talks

    so do i, but even if he doesn’t “attend”, he will be signing The New World Order goal document one way or another, heh, he already has in so many ways (we’re just haven’t been paying attention).. else the NPP farce be all for naught..

    Obama Poised to Cede US Sovereignty in Copenhagen

    a little background:

    Soros & Strong are behind the power grab for the
    New World Order under the auspices of the UN..

    Eco-economic Warfare and the Planned Collapse of Western Civilization

    [Maurice Strong is perhaps most widely known as the co-author of the 1994 Earth Charter with the communist and former Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev, who once stated that the threat of environmental crisis will be the "international disaster key that will unlock the New World Order." Strong's rise to prominence as internationalist gofer to the Rothschilds and Rockefellers goes back to 1946, when Strong was just 17 and working as a clerk at the United Nations in New York City. It was here that Strong was befriended and recruited by David Rockefeller. Despite his minimal credentials of only a high school diploma, Strong is moved up the ladder quickly following his introduction to Rockefeller, becoming a millionaire by his mid-20s, during the Alberta oil and gas boom. At the age of 25, Strong became the President of Dome Petroleum in Calgary. By the age of 35, he is the CEO of the Power Corporation of Canada. While at the Power Corporation, Strong hires Paul Martin and James Wolfensohn, both of whom would move up the ladder quickly and go on to hold high positions of power -- Martin as Prime Minister of Canada, and Wolfensohn as President of the World Bank. (Strong would later become an advisor to Wolfensohn at the World Bank.)

    At the UN, Strong would go on to become Director of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), Senior Advisor to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and Chairman of the Earth Council. He would also become Chairman of the World Resources Institute, Co-Chairman of the Council of the World Economic Forum, and a member of Toyota's International Advisory Board. Strong's most influential role to date, however, has been as the Secretary-General of the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED -- aka the Earth Summit) in Rio de Janeiro. It was this conference that gave birth to the Earth Charter and Agenda 21, which would lay the groundwork for a completely managed global society run and managed under the auspices of the UN, under the guise of saving the environment.

    It is people such as Maurice Strong, Mikhail Gorbachev, Al Gore, and Ted Turner that are at the forefront of the UN's environmental/depopulation agenda, at least at the visible/gofer level. The four are also members of, or have close connections to the Club of Rome. It is the Club of Rome that has been guiding the environmental movement since its creation at the Rockefellers' estate in Bellagio, Italy in 1968. It's aim is to reduce a large majority of the global population, as well as manufacture crisis through which the world can be "united" under a one world government, as was admitted in their 1991 publication, titled The First Global Revolution.]

    Agenda 21

    The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development

    the nightmare of it all is ringing truer & truer every
    day.. hope we wake up before it becomes a reality..

    When I stare up at the stars I am in awe of the fact that their light has traveled billions of years to reach us at a time when we have elected a President of African-American descent. It is like the feeling I get at the natural History museum and wonder if the fossils could have possibly imagined that they would be unearthed and displayed in a country that has elected a President of African-American descent. Likewise, I can feel the intense pride that my socks have for being on the feet of a citizen of a country that has elected a President that is half-African. I think I’m going to head off the the bathroom to contemplate this further.

    On Rush’s show a few days back, a caller suggested Obummer, little man that he is, was pouting. Evidently, before the election when he was in Germany Obummer wanted to give a speech at the Brandenburg Gate, but was not allowed to do so. He’s still pouting. (Poor baby…)

    The woman made a good point when she said that Obama was furious with Merkel for saying that he could not speak at the Brandenburg Gate because he has never accomplished anything. Telling that to a man with an ego the size of Cleveland calls for some mighty big pouting.

    He calls his government ” their American ally “? Is it really? It is amazing that the Russian President is there but not Obama. Is he trying to tell the world that communism is more important to him than it is even to the Russian President? I almost don’t believe it. I wish America had a sensible president.

    That large picture of his ugly mug on the screen with the reverb on reminds me of 1984

    The purple lipped tan man born of a floosy white woman’s womb and raised as a commie/moslem thinks everyone loves him. Is he deluded or what huh? Wasn’t he diagnosed with schizophrenia in the fall of 1980-81? I can’t stand to see his or his wife’s face whom he got his green card from. We do not want this unqualified slug pretending to be “all that” even posing as our preznitdent. We do not want any part of it…18 million dems, Most republicans and all Independents are sick of the son of a b*tch. He did not win. He stole this from others.

    Let me be clear, I am too important and too busy to come to Europe. But, I am gracing you with this well choreographed video. You should be happy. Thank you.

    Sadly, American cowboy militarism brought down the great Berlin Wall. I apologize for America’s military which constantly mucks up strong repressive dictatorial countries around the world. Thank you.

    History recounts that fateful day on Obama Beach. Luckly, 51.56777% of American idiots proved the world wrong. Few Europeans would have seen that their American ally would be led into the ditch by a man of African decent. Thank you.

    I am talking to you Gordon Brown, Nicolas Sarkozy, Angela Merkel, Horst Koehler and Dmitry Medvedev. You are all Typical White people who should be thankful – for the destruction I have caused.

    Why haven’t you elected a man of African decent to lead your country? Is the reason Racism? The answer is Yes!

    I suggest you reflect upon your Typical White European history and step aside and let an African man lead you country. You suck as bad as America sucks. My Limousine is running and I have more taxes to spend. May you Crakkkers feel humiliated by my god like speech. Good Day.

    This is a PERSONAL “healing journey” for him. Turn “White Power” and Western systems of Government OUT, FOREVER. That includes Christianity.

    Replace with an African-style Oligarchy of Communists masquerading as New Agers. Bye Bye Miss American Pie.

    All his appointments amount to a Coup d’Etat against America.

    Now he wants to send troops to Afghanistan. Why ? because McChrystal wants them ? No. So they will DIE, and so the American people will get tired of seeing coffins, then he can step in and say” The American people do not want to continue this war” .

    Whatever he does look for the scapegoat, the smoke, and the mirrors. He will be seen exiting stage left in the confusion, only to reappear onstage with yet another gibberish speech spinning the whole thing.

    We are in a ship in a bad storm with a suicidal crew and no captain……..

    It’s clear that he is deranged. We need to escalate the resistance and pray also !!

    White House War on Fox News Continues

    At least one Democratic political strategist has gotten a blunt warning from the White House to never appear on Fox News Channel, an outlet that presidential aides have depicted as not so much a news-gathering operation as a political opponent bent on damaging the Obama administration.

    The Democratic strategist said that shortly after an appearance on Fox, he got a phone call from a White House official telling him not to be a guest on the show again. The call had an intimidating tone, he said.

    The message was, “We better not see you on again,” said the strategist, who spoke on condition of anonymity so as not to run afoul of the White House. An implicit suggestion, he said, was that “clients might stop using you if you continue.”

    How will ABC alter V to comply with White House directives?

    “The network is under intense pressure from the Utopia Administration to tamp down its references to Dr. Utopia himself being a space alien, come from nowhere promising “Hope” and “Change” while lowering the oceans, healing the sick, fixing the hole in the ozone, and destroying life on this planet as we know it.

    ABC shut down production of “V” after its first four episodes were in the can — and has delayed any future episodes after those until March so they could “re-tool” the series….where “re-tool” means “remove allusions to the Obama campaign and presidency the White House finds too close to the mark in terms of highlighting the cult of personality and media sycophancy this current president relies so heavily on”.

    Obama’s first act as President was to issue an EXECUTIVE ORDER banning release of any of his records. Is it any wonder Obama refused to release his Birth Certificate in Court – he knows full well he is not eligible according to the U.S. Constitution to be POTUS. I really wish people who snap out of it. There should be millions of Americans converging on Washington demanding Obama prove his eligibility in Court or he should get the h@ll out of the Whitehouse.

    From Berlin to Baghdad

    Will the peoples of Islam tear down their walls as
    the people of Central and Eastern Europe tore down theirs?

    ["I do have a strategy," Reagan said after one detailed briefing
    on the challenge of the Soviet Union: "We win, they lose!"

    [..]

    A meandering road led from 11/9 to 9/11. The burning grounds of Islam are altogether different than the Communist challenge. There is no Moscow that serves as the seat of Jihadist power. This is a new kind of war and new kind of enemy, a twilight war without front lines.

    But we shouldn’t be surprised with some of history’s repetitions. There are again the appeasers who see these furies of Islam as America’s comeuppance, there are those who think we have overreached and that we are riding into storms of our own making. And in the foreign world there are chameleons who feign desire for our friendship while subverting our causes.

    Once again, there arises the question in our midst of whether political freedom, broadly conceived, can and ought to be taken to distant lands. In the George W. Bush years, American power and diplomacy gave voice to a belief in freedom’s possibilities. A different sentiment animates American practice today.

    For the peoples of Islam, the question can be squarely put: Will they tear down their walls in the manner in which the people of Central and Eastern Europe tore down theirs? The people of Islam are thus sorely tested. They will have to show their own fidelity to liberty. Strangers with big guns and ample means can ride into their midst with the best of intentions and skills, but it is their own world, their own civilization, that is now in history’s scales.]

    i agree with him from a one side of the street perspective.. however, as is often with many writers, they omit adding context to their theory’s.. unless he just plain forgot how Obama has been degrading America & uplifting Islam since he sort of took an oath to serve & protect “we the people” of the United States of America, not the Ummah States of Allah..
