Having been there immediately after the war and wittnessing the devastation and the recovery and the American contribution to Germany’s and Europe’s recovery due to the Marshall plan which Obama downplays. Now brings us to the reason why “Our President” is not showing up at the anniversary of the walls destruction.
During his election bid he scheduled several foreign locations to make campaign speeches and approached the German Government (Merkel a socialist) for permission to speak before Brandenburg Tor (gate) facing the wall as JFK did. Obama was denied that privledge because he was not an elected leader (ie he was using it as a political event) and if they allowed it, it would appear that the Merkel government was taking sides in our political election .
Now a genuine political leader would have understood this and attended but not Obama . Let there be no doubt in anyones mind that Obama has repeatedly shown he is petty and vindictive . It should surprize no one that he refused to show up at the wall’s anniversary. Despite that broad smile and clipped speech filled with pleasantries and platitudes this guy’s a creep.
