Tear Down This Presidency!

On the twentieth anniversary of one of freedom's monumental moments, one of America's finest moments, the fall of the Berlin Wall, Obama is MIA.

Huh?

Yes, the mirror man who has never met a camera or teleprompter he didn't fall head of heels in love with is NOT at the anniversary of the Fall of the Wall.

He sent a video. I kid you not.

He went to a meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference Alliance of Civilizations (instead of the graves of the glorious dead on the anniversary of Normandy), toured Turkey's mosques, bowed to the wahhabi Saudi king, coasted to Copenhagen to whore for his cronies in Chicago (Olympics) -- but he can't go to Germany for this stunning historical triumph of free men.
Sarkozy, Merkel, all the greats are in attendance.

He must have had a late basketball game with Reggie. All kidding aside, Obama could not stand the idea of the exaltation of Reagan. He is so small and so petty. He is the anti-Reagan.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, German President Horst Koehler and Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit (L-R) arrive at Pariser Platz in Berlin November 9, 2009, during celebrations to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Berlin Marks 20th Anniversary of Wall's Fall

World leaders, dignitaries and thousands of visitors are in Berlin to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. It is a time to remember the past and celebrate the November day in 1989 that changed the future.

Despite the rain, crowds gathered at the Bornholm Bridge, the first checkpoint in the Berlin Wall to open the night of November 9, 1989.

The Wall stood for nearly three decades, dividing the city and Germany into East and West. But in the end, protests and peaceful revolutions, such as in Poland, and changes in Moscow brought it down. That led to the reunification of Germany and the end of the Cold War.

In a gesture full of symbolism, Chancellor Angela Merkel crossed from one side to other, accompanied by VIP guests, former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, former Polish labor leader and president Lech Walesa, and civil rights activists of 20 years ago.

Mrs. Merkel said meeting here was especially significant.  

She said there is joy in the possibilities that opened up at this very bridge, noting it was the result of a long struggle against oppression. She thanked Lech Walesa and his Solidarity Labor movement in Poland and Mikhail Gorbachev, the reformist leader in Moscow. Both paved the way for what would happen in Germany in 1989.

World leaders and dignitaries have gathered to join in the 20th anniversary celebrations, which include open air concerts, fireworks, and the symbolic collapse of a wall of brightly painted oversize dominoes. The dominoes have been set up to run for one and a half kilometers in an area where the Wall once stood, and late Monday they will be toppled - much like the Wall was two decades ago.  

Organizers of the anniversary events say they want the festivities to connect with ordinary people - to show that it was people power, with the help of reform-minded political leaders, that brought down the Wall and changed the course of history.

I don't understand why Republican leaders did not send a delegation to this event. I phoned John Boehner's office recommending that they do so. Obama's absence is appalling. He had the time to go there to promote himself before the election.

PS. Great headline for this post.

Question:
Why was Barack Hussein Obama unable to attend the 20th anniversary of the fall pf the Berlin Wall?

Answer:
He is much too busy putting it back up of course!!!!!

[Timur]

Let's not forget that November 9 is also the anniversary of Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany in 1938.

And if he had gone, you guys would be ripping him for wasting his time traveling to Europe, when he should be sending another 80,000 troops to Afghanistan instead.

I like the post headline, though. Tear down this presidency!

Nothing would make you happier than to have this presidency fail, would it. Admit it, if you woke up tomorrow and heard that Islamic terrorists had blown up the Smithsonian, you would be secretly happy, as you would feel vindicated. It would be the best thing that ever happened to you.

It's funny. Obama has been a huge disappointment to progressives, who had hoped that he would rein in the power of Wall Street, big insurance companies, neo-cons, and the Department of Defense. Instead, he has written them all a blank check.

And you guys criticize him for being liberal, as though these are policies a liberal would want. I assure you, they are not.

Do you realize that Obama is expanding the Bush-era policies which literally allow the government to do anything it wants in the name of fighting terror, without any recourse by the private citizen? Obama fought for this in court and won.

I really don't understand why you hate him so much. He's giving you everything you want. Liberals are the ones who are disillusioned with him.

I guess maybe you don't like his name.

Oh, and Reagan, bless his heart, looked the other way when Pakistan built a nuclear bomb. That worked out really well for us.

[www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=660218992]

Of course, Reagan did that so that Pakistan would help out the Afghan rebels, who morphed into the Taliban.

The Big BO is missing in action, again?

[moderationist]

Instead of intellectually honest concerns about Obama, you cleverly blame-shift onto Reagan, another time and place. There are real concerns about Obama, and where his allegiances lie.

[Thomas Carney]

Pete Muldoon: you have been hitting the crack pipe too hard. You wrote, "I really don't understand why you hate him so much. He's giving you everything you want. Liberals are the ones who are disillusioned with him.

I guess maybe you don't like his name."

Libs love Barack Hussein Obama!!! You're nuts, man!!!

Hearing Reagan's speech again... it sent shivers down my spine. Jimmy Carter would NEVER have spoken like this!!!!

The Berlin Wall was erected as the totalitarian response to keeping “East Germans” inside the communist territory of the Marshall plan’s designated areas after WWII. It is a scar big enough we can see from space. Apropos today with our own socialist dramas and patriotic diatribes, this event and its symbol’s demise is significant.

"This Wall Cannot Withstand Faith, Truth, Freedom" is a post about man's virtues - those ineffable qualities that help to make us human - that no government can ravage. And just as the wall of communism failed in Germany in front of our eyes twenty years ago today, the wall of socialist totalitarianism will fail in America! “This wall will fall. Beliefs become reality.” It cannot withstand FAITH; it cannot withstand TRUTH. The wall cannot withstand FREEDOM!

Long live the Constitution! http://wp.me/pzfHB-hM

Mr. Muldoon, you are doing what all liberals do ... trying to project your attitudes and feelings on us 'neo-cons'. We don't hate, that's a liberal thing, however we have a strong dislike of those who hate America.

That would be liberals in general, and you and Obama in particular.

But I'm so glad you're 'disillusioned with him'. If we could just harness the hate of the left, and project it on Obama, maybe y'all could help us bring down this presidency. I don't think the America I know will ever allow something like this to happen again.

[pythagoras]

message to Muldoon:

The Obama presidency failed before it ever started. A highly developed nation like the United States of America has absolutely no use for Marxism's extremely questionable objectives and methods. Americans would be better off with NO president than anyone as deluded as this Marxist from Kenya (and make no mistake about it, Obama and the crowd on Capitol Hill are Marxists...look at 'czarine' Anita Dunn, ex-czar Van Jones et al--they're openly Mao-eulogizing Marxists). You can take these Marxists with you anywhere... as long as it isn't America.

Here's a tip for you oh wise one: The job of the United States presidency is to draft and enact policy that is beneficial to the nation as a whole. Obama and his cast of schlemmiels NEVER figured that out and at this point they appear unlikely to ever get that (they are not living in reality and insist on dragging us down with them as they bravely struggle to make the unworkable work...for them).

As for Pakistan's getting the bomb, it has never been shown conclusively that it has the technology to deliver a nuke to anyone other than India so you're wasting cyberspace trying to chastize us over Pakistan's acquiring nukes.

I listened to Reagan's address again and also listened to the 12 foot tall videotaped message of the current president who was too busy to attend (surely due to concern about appearing extravagant, Pete)and decided this: I would love to witness a showdown between Ronald and Barack! "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall" vs. "Mr. Ahmadimnejad, please like me".

Get d'Clu, I agree!

[Indigo Red]

President Reagan's speech writers and advisors came to him with the speech after many drafts and said they could not improve on it any more. They had one suggestion, though; remove the invitation to Mr. Gorbachov to open the gate and "tear down this wall." Reagan spoke the words dispite the advice. Once upon a time in America, we had a man as President who did and said what was in his heart and not what was in a poll or was simply expedient.

That's a really good point. Now, I'm just putting forth a supposition, but if Republican congressmen did go over, it would technically be a violation of the Logan Act. The Logan Act has never been prosecuted, but knowing there's a Marxist/corrupt Chicago politician/closet Muslim/usurper President in the White House, I have ZERO DOUBT that the Obama Administration would sic Eric Holder on those congressmen for representing the USA in this.

[Achilles]

Is it possible that the Usurper was NOT invited? Neither Frau Merkel nor Monsieur Sarkozy like the Usurper very much, and he certainly hasn't made friends with Gordon Brown. Maybe they just didn't want him at the party. That would be an even more telling disgrace.

Timur pointed out that November 9 is also the anniversy of Kristallnacht, as well. And, unless the plans were changed, this Monday evening, November 9, is also the date of the meeting between the person who occupies our White House and Israel's Netanyahu ...

[Lenin-McCarthy]

With the help of the military, a coup could be arranged and Obama could be forced out of office and be charged against crimes against the constitution.

Pete Muldoon--

You are dead wrong. One of my worst fears is another 9/11-scale attack--for many reasons: 1) One of my relatives or friends could be among the victims; 2) Our enemies would be emboldened to launch even MORE attacks; 3) Obama would IMMEDIATELY declare MARTIAL LAW and finish taking over the whole country. And once he had that absolute power, he would be "President for Life," just like Castro.
