Ouch. Now foreign leaders have to teach Obama how he’s supposed to act.

If only Barack spoke German instead of Spanish.

[Cyber Liberty]

But he said it was up to candidates such as Obama to decide what was "in good taste".

To paraphrase that alien in "Scary Movie," we're so screwed.

Bring it Barry! Do tell us how the Brandenburg gate represents everything wrong with America.

[Doogle]

...he better start thinking about whether or not he should fly Fort Marcy airlines again.
Take his speech writers teleprompter reading skills away and he becomes a stuttering moron who has to correct or explain the previous days comments or statements... and he has to remember who he's talking with because he talks out of both sides of his mouth

RUSH: Now, wait a minute, Obama -- I'm sorry -- Lord Obama, if we're supposed to learn Spanish, how come you're speaking French here? Now, you heard the audience laughing and somewhat applauding, but I have a different take on this, ladies and gentlemen, and it troubles me. This troubles me greatly. As Tom Daschle used to say, I'm concerned. This is not an isolated incident. You know, Obama wants to go over and make a speech at the Brandenburg Gate where elected presidents have made speeches, JFK and Ronaldus Magnus, and the Germans don't want him over there. They don't want that site used for electioneering. One of the German officials says, "What if Angela Merkel, what if she decided to go to the Mall in Washington while running for the prime minister presidency of Germany?" Now, I get the sense that it's not just related to Obama. I think a lot of Democrats are embarrassed of their country. Obama clearly is. He would prefer to be running for president of a Western European country. He prefers socialism over capitalism; he prefers big government over individuality and self-reliance; he prefers secularism over religion, if truth be told. He prefers pacifism and appeasement over a robust national security and military, and now, he prefers European culture to ours, and rather than urging people in our country to speak English, he urges Americans to speak foreign languages, which is perfectly fine, but when put in the context of all his other views, this is just one more indication of where his head is.

Obama and a lot of Democrats think Americans and America are backwards. You know that they're embarrassed of this country. They think we deserve to be in a constant state of decline because of our excesses and our bullying and our imperialism. They enjoy the suffering of Americans at the gas pump because they think it's Americans' fault. They want suffering and pain going into the election. It is clear to me that The Messiah, Lord Barack Obama, is embarrassed by his own country. That's why he wouldn't initially wear an American flag pin, that's why he constantly complains about America going it alone when in fact we are leading a recalcitrant world against terrorism. We are the solution to the world's problems. We are not the world's problem. Obama and many of his cohorts believe just the opposite. This is why Obama demeans tens of millions of hard-working Americans who have faith, who own guns, and who oppose illegal immigration. This little statement that he made in Powder Springs, Georgia, is not isolated. At a fundraiser in San Francisco, the bitter clinger comment, you remember that. He looks over people in the heartland, flyover country, he looks at the people who make this country work, and he is embarrassed, and he demeans them. (cont.)



Lord Obama: Ashamed of the US, Thinks Americans are Backwards

Languages Kids Should Learn First
Our children should be fluent in terrorism, markets, socialists, Marxists, Obama.

"It is unusual to hold election rallies abroad. No German candidate for high office would even think of using the National Mall (in Washington) or Red Square in Moscow for a rally because it would not be seen as appropriate." He's too much of a narcissist to worry about what's appropriate.

[LayoutGuru2]

Aw, let him keep stepping in it. I will make for better reading in the history books.

[Cacique]

Hmmm, when will they start calling Merkel racist?

[jan in Colorado]

Obama smacked down by German Chancellor Angela Merkel ping!

[fightinJAG]

This guy is such a complete doofus.

However, the good news is that maybe this type of thing will snap some of the Euroweenies out of their infatuation with the Obambi one.

[jch10]

Is it appropriate for Obama to request that he be allowed to make a speech anywhere in Germany, or any other country for that matter? That sounds quite arrogant, presumptuous, egotistical, etc, to me.

Has any foreigner(not invited) ever been allowed to make a speech at the Washington Monument?

He is just grand-standing. I hope the Germans are smart enough to see this.

[SunkenCiv]

The European trip *will* help Obama add to his number of non-Moslem countries visited.

[antioscar]

wow... I served in Berlin (W), when it still had the W for “west”, for 46 months. I heard the sirens. I was fortunate enough to see President Ronald Reagan during his visit. My daughter was born there.

I was there when Major Nicholson was shot by a soviet soldier and a soviet officer denied first aid. Maj Nicholson’s driver was forced at gunpoint to watch him bleed to death.

I was there for two of the Glienicke Bridge East-West prisoner swaps.

IMVHO, for Obama to even request such a venue is Hitleresque at best. I truly am appalled and offended as I suspect many Germans must be that they would even consider requesting use of the Brandenburg Gate for personal gain. I think it is despicable.

Maybe this will be the next “regret” he has.

[nkycincinnatikid]

It is impossible to locate an image of one grand and symbolic spot, which to the post WWII generation of Americans resonates with the power of the Brandenburg Gate. There America finally drew a line in the sand. No longer did we need evil to be rationalized and embraced. The landmark brought us to reality. We finally created there our own frontier to an historically savage totalitarian threat. The old defenders were dead. JFK said Americans were the Berliners now. Germany had died defending it, so to my way of thinking it is now as American as Gettysburg. There Reagan used it to tell Russia he would defeat it and it took the money and ran. When Obama is President of the USA he should defineitly speak there.

[DilJective]

How can he go to Germany and not give his speech in German? Ist es wirklich so peinlich nur Englisch zu reden? Fuer Barack, nichts ist scheinbar zu niedrig! The guy is really arrogant to think that a speech that is a landmark for reunification of a country that really resulted in freedom for over 17 million East Germans- something that American blacks have no idea of. The constant harping by minorities in America about being oppressed is laughed at by ANYONE who lived under the Soviet's boot. Talk about being victims.

For Barack to think that it's ok to speak there shows how he thinks that world is his oyster- they all bow to him. If he only had been a soldier deployed in another country for even a few days...

He reminds me of the young soldiers on their first few nights out in Nuernberg, thinking that Germany was just like America and they could act any way they wanted- until the Polizei demonstrated their fancy-dan batons and little tolerance for disrespect or vandalism by drunks of any nationality.

As a linguist, the statement by him that we can only say "thank you very much" in another language makes my blood boil at his arrogance and presumption that Americans are simply stupid. I don't know how many Americans he knows, but my guess is that he knows many who can't even speak proper English after 12 years of public education- but, there are plenty of us dumb soldiers who speak several languages and he would learn that if he knew any of us.

Chief Barack Hussein Muhammad Abdullah Obama is trying to play at being John F Kennedy ("ich bin ein Berliner"). Some of his supprters think that he is Bobby Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln, too.

In reality, he is just another globalist and muslim fraud being perpetrated on the American people!!!!

The more grandiose the claims for Obama, the more obvious the fraud is!!!!

[LukeL]

Obama thinks he is some sort of demagogue. Only dictators give speeches in that kind of manner.
