Oh come on. Obama's a horrible president, but I couldn't care less which photo op he chooses to pose for this week.
Did you write about your disappointment with Bushco CEO Cheney?
Oh, I am afraid going to Berlin was about much more than a photo op... It was about showing solidarity with a nation that suffered terribly under a faulty Communistic authority and finally found freedom and ease under the leadership of a great man named Ronald Reagan. I find it appalling too that he did not go commemorate with them.. What a shame!
If this is sad and disappointing to you, you must have many sad and disappointing moments in your life.
Or perhaps Obama, like Putin, doesn't think the demise of totalitarianism is something to celebrate.
I'm glad he didn't waste taxpayer money on a photo op. Its about time he came to his senses.
Hello!!! Obama presided over the Fort Hood memorial and then honored Veterans this week during the "photo op" of the Berlin Wall celebration. I bet right wingers would have criticized Obama for jet setting to Europe for the Berlin gig and snubbing Fort Hood if he chose what this author is complaining about! Please!!!
While I am happy the wall came down, what does commemorating it have to do with the US now? It wasn't our wall, and communism didn't fall...look at China and Cuba.
At least Copenhagen was about bringing the Olympics here. The country would not have gained anything by the President going to commemorate a German/Russian achievement.
The sound of the wingnuts whining as they twist in the wind! There is nothing to rediculous or small to keep them from hammering the POTUS. If he had gone to Berlin they would have railed for his going, if he stays he is a totalarian, born in Kenya, organizer of death panels, a closet practicing Muslim, constitution destroying monster, yet elected by 50% plus of the voters. Contrary to the conservs hero's Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity the majority (ok bring on your sective polls) of the people agree with his efforts. Enjoy the next 7 years.
This letter is a great opening for a discussion of cloning whoever is President so that we never have to read this kind of drivel again. With cloning we could have a President who would never again risk being politically incorrect. He could go to a G20 meeting, Berlin for the "wall" anniversary, Ft. Hood memorial, vacation in Hawaii and attend the national yo-yo convention in Cleveland all on the same day!
PS. Doesn't he get credit for wearing a flag pin yesterday and putting his hand over his heart?
What a worthless letter. Just more sour grapes. Listen up, If you ever want to win another election then you must come up with ACTUAL WORKABLE SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS!! Acting like a 3 year old who didnt get their way will never be a reason to vote for so called 'conservatives'.
"The sound of the wingnuts whining"
thank once again for fine example of liberal tolerance
He left today for a 10 day visit to China and the Far East. This has greater ramifications than an event that happened 20 years ago. It is a European event, and the U.S. was well represented. Were all Western leaders there? No. The Olympic try was to push for a direct future benefit to the U.S. There is a difference. This is just partisan sniping.
I find it very telling how the left in general has responded to the complaints of the right since Obama was elected. They act as petty and immature as they claim the right is.
Our President, and his entourage, are the most "Anti-American" group ever! A bold statement I know, but history will show how their picture of our country is radically different than what the Constitution established.
BHO does not love freedom, which the bringing down of the Berlin Wall represented. He wants to change what we are as Americans. Freedom is his enemy.
HOLD ON HERE for a minute, when YOU loudly boast outloud about Obamanation, not having the time to show up for a photo opp at the Berlin wall, along with all the other's that did show up, then talking out of the right side of your mouth, you quickly speak new word's, such as; "the collapse of the Berlin Wall and the end of communism", YOU to need to "KNOW SOMETHING", before you speak, with a "Letter to the Editor" of DN. About the only thing you had right, was the Berlin Wall came down, and opened up the area between East and West, in Germany. However, as for the end of communism, ask yourself, did it STOP in Cuba, Canada, Russia, the Middle East, China, and a host of other Countries as well ?. "NOPE". Why not?. Because there's NOT a end of communism just yet. As for Obamanation here in the US, is he really trying to end communism (aka, a socialist utopian USA), "NOPE", and neither is any RINO, Democrat and GOP either here in America. Now why is that?. You should be saying, Mr Obama, tear down that Wall here in America to.
And imagine the complaining if Obama had gone to Berlin and skipped the Fort Hood memorial!
No matter what it is, if Obama did it, conservatives will complain about it.
What's that, conservatives? Say it in English; I don't speak Whinese.
Mr Obama has time to do what he considers important. Things like globetrotting; we all know he was elected President of the World.
Maybe he should stay home and do his job, or stay away and let The People work with Congress without his constant directing that other branch of government. Perhaps the Pres and the Congress ought to act, not in concert, but like two different and mutually balancing powers, each properly jealous of their own place and role.
Since we have such a cheering section today for tearing down walls, why not do it closer to home and tear down the stupid wall between the US and Mexico. Of course then we would have to deal with immigration instead of shouting past one another on the subject.
You actually believe that Obama is someone to respect? The office yes, the person NO! He can't do anything right because he has no true principles. His remarks about the Ft.Hood are a disgrace as well, he was more concerned with how we viewed the perpetrator (terrorist) than the true victims, those that were killed. His views and principles are anti-american so we conservatives will "complain" at ever opportunity!
