Senator Obama: Please Act Appropriately
By Charles Lemos on July 11, 2008 at 4:30 AM in Barack Obama, Foreign Policy, Germany, Qualifications
Dear Senator Obama:
John McCain has now been to Canada, Colombia and Mexico. He met with leaders of these countries and held talks. In Ottawa, he gave a speech to the Economic Club of Canada. In Cartagena, Senator McCain toured the historic city Cartagena, met with Colombian leaders as well with ordinary Colombians in a meet and greet and reviewed joint US-Colombian anti-narcotics efforts. In Mexico, Senator McCain toured the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe. He then met with President Felipe Calderon of Mexico. They talked about trade, immigration and narco-trafficking. He did not hold rallies.
Your idea to hold rallies abroad sets a dangerous precedent. You are politicizing an American political campaign beyond our borders and that carries great risk for the United States and no reward. You are not yet President of the United States. Respect the wishes of Chancellor Angela Merkel and her government. Act like a candidate for President and be respectful of the wishes of others. Here is what Chancellor Merkel’s spokesman, Thomas Steg, had to say on the matter:
“No German candidate for high office would think to use the National Mall or Red Square in Moscow for a rally, because it would be seen as inappropriate,” Mr. Steg said, though he added that Mrs. Merkel welcomed Mr. Obama’s visit.
Please act appropriately.
Yours respectfully,
Charles Lemos
San Francisco, CA









































i agree…
Baracktrack is exhibiting his usual poor judgement…
Baracktrack is quickly becoming an embarrassment to the rest of the world…
he is running away from the american people…
he should be facing the american people in america… he should campaign in america…
again he is afraid of talking real issues to real americans…
the trip to europe is nothing but a cheap photo op…
if you thought the fake presidential seal was a disgrace wait till you hear his plaugerized speach in germany as he pretends to be commander in chief yet again…
its especially disgracefull after he lied to his supporters voted yes on FISA…
so he destroys the constitution of the usa and then runs off to campaign in germany?
its shameful…

america first!
Obama is following the Arab/Muslim plan to take over the world. He is to be their Pied Piper.
“It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet.” Hasan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood
Keep in mind that this is a direct branch of Hamas. The same Hamas whose writings appeared in Obam’s church bulletin, the same Hamas who supports him being elected and the same Hamas that is a designated terrorist organization.
According to court records the Muslim Brotherhood wrote that they would destroy America from the inside.
How do you spell Manchurian Candidate?
The same Hamas that someone on his staff was fired after having met with them. Why does Barack Obama surround himself with radicals?
It is truly weirdly megamaniac behaviour.
There is nothing in Germany today that is out of the ordinary. Germany is just getting on with things.
However his uncle did miraculously free Auschwitz.
Hope he mentions that while over there,but you can bet he will make some geographical gaffe.
His uncle was in the navy
Yes he freed the Jews from his ship.
ROFLMAO
Not content with dividing his own party in this country he now proceeds to cause problems between Merkel and the Mayor of Berlin. Unity-schmoonity! The Obama divide must now continue on another continent. What a pathetic little poser he is.
Another example of Obama’s arrogance. People should be very concerned when Obama makes statements such as he will heal the United States and change the world. This is very disturbing.
Obama feeds off huge crowds who worship him like a messiah and it has gone to his head. Obama would be much more comfortable as a dictator where his subjects are not allowed to criticize him. Obama is unable to handle criticism. However, as president, even Obama with a favorable press cannot avoid criticism. Obama will try to blame his fiascos on Bush but that escape hatch will run its course, the cheering crowds will go away and Obama will unravel.
Already had one of these, his name was George W. Bush.
Take a look at the 2000 election news videos and tell me you don’t see deja vu. This is one rerun I don’t want to watch; or be a part of. Even the voters campaign slogan is the same: “Anyone but Bush” has morphed into “Anyone but Obama”.
This is a guy who doesn’t have boundaries. According to press reports, he already participated in an election abroad, backing a highly controversial candidate and relative in a foreign contest. When is the press going to investigate a U.S. Senator’s very inappropriate involvement in the Kenya elections with Odinga?
This is A US presidential election. What the heck is Obama doing? I think the DNC is looking more idiotic as time goes on for supporting him. Obama has once again insulted the American people. He is not running for president of the world He seems to think he is. Obama in my view is very anti – American. Merci Beaucoup. What the heck is wrong with Americans for not seeing how ridicuous and undignified Obama’s actions are.
When people say what integrity he has I have to wonder what people think is integrity.
We should start a pool.
How many months will Obama devote to being our president before he begins his follow-up campaign: to make himself King of the Earth?
We’re just lucky we don’t have space travel.
Exactly!
As Rush said the other day, “I’ve had left-overs in my fridge longer than this guy spent in the Senate.”
No amount of power will satisfy his ego.
OMG
suzanne,
I just lmao. I can’t believe I’m finding that fat stupid and happy moron funny.
That is funny.
Emperor of the Universe.
We know his judgment is truly flawed. What seriously baffles me is that the party elders are standing by and watching this folly. Why are they not stepping in and insisting that Obama stop doing things that embarrass this country?
Oops…I forgot. They’re under the bus.
They are not saying anything because they were WRONG to vote for him (or endorse him) and lawyers and judges (who makes up most of the congress) do not ever admit they were wrong. So we may have to accept a man incapable of running the country just because of their egos.
I think you hit the nail on the head. It’s simply amazing to watch elected officials from the highest levels of government spin utter nonsense hem and haw, and try to change the subject when they are asked direct questions about Obama’s flip-flops and gaffes. What’s even more amazing, they actually think that people are falling for their drivel.
How many more times will we accept a man who can not run Our country before we say enough?
How many decades of our lives are we willing to waste before we refuse to participate in sham elections?
Why are we pretending we are a Democracy if our votes are meaningless?
Why bother holding expensive primaries and supporting expensive campaigns if we are willing to allow political parties to manipulate our votes?
Why go through a sham election in November if the end result is someone we didn’t even vote for?
Why do we believe in the power of the individual to change things when the power is held by a few individuals who believe they know what’s best for the low information masses?
Why do we believe we have no power to change things when our Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our Declaration of Independence tell us the power rests with We the People?
Why do we know this but still allow ourselves to be imprisoned in “free speech zones” where our chosen leaders do not have to hear our voices?
It won’t stop, it will only get worse. Barack Obama takes the platform of Bush’s autocratic leadership and has already begun to build upon it.
This isn’t 1799 or 1939. We’re in the first decade of the 21st century. We have more war today than we had in the last decades in the 20th century; we’re going backwards rather than forwards. And We the People have the responsibility of stopping this transition. 2012 is just too late. “We come this way but once….“(Bob Proctor)
Excellent comment.
Your votes weren’t meaningless. The system was flawed, both candidates ran the strategy they thought would win in this flawed system and Mrs. Clinton lost.
It does little good to blame Mr. Obama for playing by the same flawed rules as Mrs. Clinton. If you want to improve the system, you should do more than whine about your votes being taken from you.
Actually, It as all going to plan, Howard and Donna are ecstatic with the results so far. If he would just woo us, we could forget all the bad stuff. Like “Unelectable, Unqualified and Illegitimate, Ayers, Rezko, NOI, FISA vote, Wright, TUCC, Black Liberation Theology, Sinclair, Levine, etc, etc, etc, etc,….
Nobama!
Hillary 08!!!!!!!
Take a moment to think of the longterm effect Obama would have as first AA POTUS.
Do AA’s really want a Nixon figure? 40 years later, a reference to Nixon is still a negative.
I wish for the first AA POTUS to be a brilliant, very intelligent, value-driven, honest, principled, thoughtful and respectful man or woman; I absolutely want him or her to leave with a legacy we can all be proud of.
Me, too.
This is my chief bone of contention with Obama. As biracial, he already has that as a factor, even if he was wonderful, which he is not. Barack is claiming a heritage he is not entitled to. He was not raised in and environment with other AAs and the only AAs he’ related to are the ones he sired.
He’s not in the same category as my bff who was raised in an AA community and had full access to BOTH sides of her family. He’s not even in the same category as Halle Berry, whose white mother made sure she had access to her AA heritage.
This man is a fraud, an inept, corrupt, unqualified, inexperienced fraud with a bad attitude. It’s these things that I object to. And I don’t like him claiming MY community when he is all of these things.
And he is only 6% black African anyways. He is a misrepresentation and fraud all the way around and is aided in this by the MSM and the absolutely clueless DNC. Get the truth out there Repubs and Dems, nominate Hillary before it is too late. Damage control after he gets the Presidency would be too hard to implement especially with a Dem controlled congress. I agree with the B. Proctor quote above. “We only come this way once”. We must protect our country.
I was saying this exact point to my dad last night. I would welcome, with open arms, an African-American President, but only if that person was the right person for the job.
But they haven’t thought of the damage it could do if they just shove this man there without knowing what he’s going to do. Then all kinds of associations could be made, including ones setting racial equality back by years.
Please, pleaaaase America. Stop this man!!!
I understand that when you have a historic candidate they are breaking a barrier, forging a new path and have probably come this far by unconventional means. I don’t expect a candidate to be perfect or have no baggage on this journey. I might have overlooked the Chicago politics to a degree, except I have problems with the cast of characters as personalities. And I also have problems with Barack Obama’s character. I am so repelled by him, because of his treatment of Hillary Clinton and his role in subverting democracy that I could never support his candidacy. That I’ll never vote for him goes without saying. I just feel this election crossed the boundaries of decency. It was a tainted and corrupt procedure that has turned me off from the Democratic party even more so after their caving in to the Bush administration since 2006. And now Pelosi is talking impeachment, a process that will take six months minimum, if it ever happens. It’s a dangling carrot to keep the base from deserting.
…and maybe loving his/her Country would be good!
What’s next?
A rally in a Munich Beer Hall?
For those who like a good laugh, I offer this link
http://weblogs.newsday.com/news/opinion/walthandelsman/blog/2008/07/mccain_vs_obama_the_2008_summe_1.html
Since Obama damages his candidacy with every word he speaks, I say we let him blather on.
I hope he can speak German this guy needs to stop making a fool of himself.We cannot have him for President I cant imagine what he might do in office. I see the New York Times did an article on Sen McCanes birth place what about Obama where is his birth certificate ? PUMA
He wants to “channel” JFK at the Brandenberg Gate. He will boldly proclaim: ” Ich bein ein Beginner!”
Now THAT is funny!
or:
ich bin ein Schlawiner
Who is going to pay for Obama to prance and preen at the Brandenburg Gate? I thought that the Democrat Party was having trouble ponying up the tariff to stink up da joint in Denver.
:>)))))
Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer
Ein Obama!
Just imagine if there was more of him!
Brrrrrr!
He’s making this trip to try and show the world that he will be received as “the President” – I mean if the whole world swoons at his feet, how could 18,000,000 of us be so wrong?
This man knows no shame. Is Michelle going, too, so she can meet with the “other” first spouses?
Doubtless Obama hopes to find the next Albert Speer.
I´m with chancellor Merkel on this issue. To behave like JFK in his position as just the presumptive nominee is simply inappropriate and naive.

obama and his foreign trips, he plans to become the leader of the globe, not just the president..he wants to be global, and tell russia and china, and iran what to do..he will start with europe first..just like hitler , these countries who look forward to him being president , will be very surprised to find out that obama , will try to tell them what to do…obama secretly hates them
Well, of course. His history is to begin “running” for his next promotion before he has actually gotten the one he wants right now. Then, anyone who tries and stop him must, obviously, be a racist.
What a dickweed.
“What a dickweed”
Not if Jesse Jackson has his way!
Heretical as it may sound, we may have something to thank GWB for. Thanks to GWB, the World leaders no longer pay any attention to the wishes of the POTUS. This may be the saving of the world if somehow Obama gets selected.
Hello, Believe and the other Usual Obamazoids are not available today. I am a Sub called in to assist.
1. Yes, but Hillary lied about Bosnia.
2. And McCain is far, far worse.
3. And this is just something all politicians do.
4. Barack Obama won, get over it.
5. This has been covered already by the blogosphere. Move on now.
6. You guys are racists.
–Sincerely, Troll Sent Over By AmeriTemps
You’re fired! Didn’t you get the memo?
NOBAMA NUTS Ever!
Thank you, John. For a troll, you do nice work. We should get told off so succintly every day!
Gee, relly, where are the trolls?
Obama didn’t raise enough money to pay them. He is 20 million under budget.
Oh well, they were fun little weasels.
They are required to attend BLT class.
BO did not win he was selected. Hillary won the popular vote. If your delusional candidate is in fact elected you will be sorry but then it will be too late. Open your eyes and ears an read and hear betweeen the lines or should I say between the LIES. Come down from cloud nine and help us save our country.
John
Pretty good, but you forgot to say that if a clincher, Hillary would have voted for FISA too. It’s the last cool meme over at the Oborg.
LOL! And you did it ALL in one post! Now that’s efficiency!
It will be interesting to HEAR/SEE/WATCH how he acts. He really hasn’t a clue! His message of CHANGE isn’t going very far is it now? I find this rather humorous to watch…then again it’s rather SAD that the Super Delegates tossed this down the drain. That’s it! The SD’s put the AMERICAN people UNDER THE BUS!
the question in my mind is how will crowds in berlin react? i am sure there will be some who will cheer, but i don’t expect him to be a rock star there. after all he isn’t bill clinton.
I was just watching CNN (something I rarely do these days) and they were saying that angry Obama supporters who are blogging online about their disappointment with his vote on FISA,even going as far as asking for their contributions back will Get Over It.
Thank goodness I’m not the only one who has to Get Over it!
I haven’t watched anything on CNN but Reliable Sources for a few months now….thanks for the update of the CrazyCrapNetwork…Howard was just on Fox…I can’t stand to watch him cheer on BO…they are talking about the fund raising blooper now..
Howard says the vast majority of people who voted for Clinton will vote for BO….Says McCain is running a bad campaign…he can’t touch Obama….polls are so close because McCain has his own brand…McCain needs to break from his party like he did when he ran before…he needs to say something every day to distance himself from Bush..
like howard knows what he is talking about! no he doesn’t. so howard you screwed up with bush. you are in the tank for obama. so shut the fxxx up!
Lanny Davis, too. He was on Fox a few days ago. He just makes himself look pathetic trying to sell the Obamafraud. Have these people considered that they are not obligated to say anything.
‘crazycrapnetwork’-love it!
Perhaps “Get Over It” has replaced “Yes We Can”. And that is the change everyone is supposed to believe in.
The “Audacity of Arrogance” is alive and well!!!!! Obama’s conceit and egotism transcends the most haughty notable.
Arrogant SOB isn’t he….
Heil Hussein! Swooning Germans extend stiff armed salutes to chants of “Yes we can” while mothers lift their babies for kisses from the One. Inciting mob rule, the Dementor of political puffery, snout in air, sucks happiness out of their souls.
The Bush administration is pushing back on the rally stuff through Merkel. Can you imagine the cost of security to Germany and it is not even a state visit. If Obama continues this folly, the European press will unlease the “Triumph of the Will” comparisons with film at 11:00. Even if the US press will not make certain comparisons, any dummy who has watched the History Channel will see it. Then on to Numemburg, I mean Denver. This may make the “Possum Seal” mistake insignificant.
Come to think of it, the “Possum Seal” may have been developed for these trips because he cannot use the official stuff. Is he going to have a 747 painted blue to fly around with the “Possum”?
POSSUM BLIMP!
It too will explode from the hot air.
You are asking this spineless troll too much. He has no principles, his heart is full of hatred and he is full os S—. Arrogant fool!
It’s the Triumph of the Willie!

News For Nerds Stuff That Matters
http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/08/07/10/1341207.shtml
Odd the places google comes up with from my alerts.
BHO supported FISA because he plans on using it for his benefit. Scary!!!!
You people need to stop picking on barry! He meant to vote “NO” but he hit the wrong button and voted “YES”! He’d rather have voted “PRESENT” but people criticize him when he does that, so what is the dude to do? When he becomes our ruler he will make the world a beautiful place and will never ever spy on his loyal subjects!
Make a $50 donation to Obama’s campaign and your name will be put on the “do not spy” list.
If Obama presses the wrong button and shoots off a nuclear weapon starting WWIII he can blame the American people saying “You people knew I had trouble with these buttons and you still voted for me.”
I prefer to use $50 to buy Jackson a good axe and ship it to him so he can take care of business.
Where is his do not lie list? He must only have one or two names on it.
The Diva’s ego is now causing international tensions. Completely unnecessary tensions – which constituency is he appealing to by giving a speech in GERMANY??? And given his grasp of History he couldn’t possibly know and understand the history of the Berlin wall – a call to anyone in the media, please ask Obama to use Berlin Wall in a sentence.
But my real frustration with this? He can’t just go overseas and intellectually engage in global issues with international leaders. He wouldn’t think to consult the other members of the Subcommittee on Foreign Affairs re our allies’ concerns – the committee he chairs, the committee he has never coalesced since appointed its chair. No, his ego demands he give but yet another grandstanding speech of non-historic proportions on a historically symbolically rich location. Attempting a big home run based on the symbollism without the homework, statements without any meaning – here we are again – the bogus race speech in Philadelphia, the bogus unity in Unity NH, the hyper presumptuous nomination acceptance in GOP territory, Montana.
Senator Obama – Could you just do your job and be a Presidential Candidate? Could you just visit a few countries, meet some international leaders, and learn a thing or two about what is going on in the world? Come back and revise your bizarre and conflicting foreign policy statements and call it a day. You are wearing me out with this speech thing.
It’s not the first time. Remember NAFTAGATE? Pakistan?
He’s a joke when it comes to international relationships.
Which constituency? His internet donor base, of course! You think most of them are Americans? Not!
He better grab a few sets of RosettaStone language tutor software, asap. He thinks we should all be multi-lingual, so let’s see if he can bamboozle them in German.
The traveling circus goes worldwide. It may be amusing watching the Obama campaign hold up cue cards with “Change” and “Yes We Can” for the Germans to repeat. Then they pay a couple Germans $50 a piece to faint in the crowd while Obama asks for Secret Service personnel to bring them some water. He tells the Germans that they should learn Islam and then call them racists if they don’t.
The Obama campaign hooks some wires on Obama and he closes the show by pretending to fly over the audience.
The dollars weak, he might run out of money there. He might have to get the economy-sized change sign and settle for a speech in front of a miniature model of the gate.
Maybe the Germans are (rightfully) a bit nervous about a “world leader” from another Country who wants to hold a large rally on the steps of the equivalent of our Capitol building…
Hitler was Austrian.
BettsAZ,
Hitlwer was also part Jewish and engineered the Holocaust! Obama is part black and is engineering what by holding an unprecedented, shameless sideshow in Germany?
Charisma like this is an opiate-tinged dagger that eventually slices through all human flesh.
What absolute gall this man has – he doesn’t even have the nomination yet. Methinks Axelrod is using this proposed German rally (like the planned acceptance speech in front of 76,000 at Invesco field in Denver) as part of his pscy-ops campaign to thwart any attempt by the delegates to nominate Hillary at the convention.
“Psychological operations (psych-ops or psy-ops) refer to the planned use of psychological knowledge to influence the behavior of groups, organizations or populations. Although associated with guerilla warfare, rebellion and subversion; many marketing and political strategies include psych-ops techniques … including office politics and social engineering.”

If any decent pen journalist from Germany is reading this blog, or have family living there, we ask you don’t be cowards like our own MSM, ask EVERY personal question and especially that little thing with Homeland security and his birth certificate. Don’t let mr Wonderful try to use his charm on you, remember the last guy who tried to use charm, and Hail H………. your downfall.
Today’s NYT says Obama isn’t being transparent, even though that was the cornerstone of his primary campaign.

LOL!
Why can’t he give his speech in German? What? He doesn’t speak German? Shameful!!!!
Aren’t you embarrassed? He just makes me so embarrassed…. but not because he can’t speak German. It’s because he thinks he’s a world leader, oh wait: The World’s Leader. Not even elected POTUS yet, but he’s already moved on to higher aspirations and accepted the title. He really puts a name to the ugly American. What a jerk.
This gaffe is about on par with the great presidential seal.
Lordy, but he’s a piece of work.
He has no class at all. What can you expect from a guy who slaps his wife in the ass on National TV anyhow?
My thoughts, too.
Disgusting.
Unfortunately, I think some women either have an entirely different concept of sexism, perhaps because of a daily barrage of lurid, misogynistic rap lyrics and videos, or they’re more concerned with actually finding an available mate ( I didn’t say suitable because apparently there’s a shortage of them)than with whether or not he’s a sexist.
Odd that Obama has gone to Europe to learn about foriegn relations when he hasn’t even learned anything about America , except what he has heard from his anti American associates. Then on the other hand maybe he is taking his cue from Howard Dean who has also made special arrangements to be able to address the Party of Europen Socialist. Obviously Obama is trying to reninforce his socialist/communist ties. Every damn time America has gone through a traumatic experience such as we have experienced with the current administration these radical freaks like Obama, Farrakhan, Ayers, and on and on, sneak back into our lives to add to our problems. Time to draw up new methods and guide lines on how applicants for the American Presidency are screened.
As Katrina vanden Heuvel’s husband, Prof. Stephen Cohen, gave as his reason for voting for BO: he wants to see “an African-American President” in his lifetime because Cohen grew up under “aparteid”. Where? Owensboro, KY!! Professor, I was born about a decade after you in southern WV and traveled throughout the South during my youth, and I didn’t see what you characterize as “total segregation” anywhere! There was a degree of segregation, yes, but not apartheid. But, anyway, Cohen went on to characterize both major parties as basically the same, so–what the hey–just vote for the black guy and feel good about it! Such left-wing loonies probably have little or no hope that BO can win. They just want to feel vindicated or possibly want to run all soft liberals, moderates, and conservatives out of the Dem Party! Maybe, if Cynthia McKinney is nominated for the Greens, they can switch to her!
What can you expect from George Soros’ puppet?
I have heard BacktrackObama is fluent in Arabic. Can anyone confirm this?
How can that be? He’s barely fluent in English. I don’t think he’s smart enough to know another language. Plus he’s much too lazy to bother learning anything at all.
He’s a shameless whore. Drunk with power already.
It’s part of the Axelrod Pretend Reality Show.
Let them do their thing, Charles. It is how he will horrify and frighten the electorate with his insatiable desire to be worshipped around the world. Deja vu, this loaded cannon is.
“Those whom the gods would destroy must first be made drunk with power”.
How boring–how retro!–you people are. Don’t you understand that sitting down and talking to foreign leaders, like that old fuddy-duddy McCain did, is the old politics? This is a new age. The new politics is transacted in huge venues, before adoring mobs. Don’t worry your pretty little head about who’s taking care of business while all this New Politics is going on.
All you have to do is cheer. Come on, you can do it!
Hey, it worked well enough for Hitler. Indeed, this will be a historic moment for Obamaniacs.
[...] an item on Google Reader Senator Obama: Please Act Appropriately 8:20 am – [...]
Large rallies in Germany still carry an ominous spectre, particularly now the cold war is over and our “enemies” are no longer clearly defined. Berlin today has a large Muslim/Turkish population as well.
Does Obama want thoudands Muslims screaming for his victory or similar packs of scruffy Northern European types who will use any excuse to get back at Bush?
Obama is an out of control megalomaniac. Selling himself abroad is no substition for failing to sell himself to America.
The Brandenburg Gate — a symbol of Nazi power in 1930s and 1940s Germany — is Obama’s treasured destination for an Obama rally.
In my entire life, I have never heard of an American presidential candidate electioneering in a foreign country, much less at the site of such a symbol of Nazi power, which is what the Brandenburg Gate is.
In addition to all the destruction Obama has done to the Democratic Party (and is poised to do to America), he is now causing rifts among German politicians who are divided on this issue. Some see it as inappropriately using Germany to electioneer, and others are afraid to rile a person who might become the United States president — and it’s not a good idea to anger U.S. presidents.
We read that “German officials have noted in recent days that only elected foreign leaders have been invited to hold speeches at the gate and not political candidates.”
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080709141314.t3ju24gp&show_article=1
But, despite resistance from German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the local Berlin authorities have now granted Obama permission to hold his rally at the Brandenburg Gate (I had started to write Nuremberg!) : http://tinyurl.com/6jca7c
Even the Germans, not exactly wilting lilies, are afraid to thwart Obama — Obama is seen as that vengeful. Do you imagine, if Obama were to become president, that ANY Democrat in the senate or House would DARE to thwart Obama on anything? I tell you Obama could nominate Rev. Wright to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, and NO one in the senate would balk. That’s why I believe it is safer to have McCain as president, because a Democratic Congress would not be very cooperative, and McCain wouldn’t be able to do as much damage as Obama could.
Yes, American PRESIDENTS have given speeches at the Brandenburg Gate, but NO American presidential candidate EVER electioneered at the site. Is Obama running for ‘King Of The World’ and this is his kick-off to THAT campaign?
Incidentally, President Kennedy did not give his famous speech at the Brandenburg Gate, he delivered it at some other location in Berlin and then visited the Brandenburg Gate.
We read that Obama is “wildly popular in Germany,” but Any perusal of news footage from the 1930s and 1940s, would inform you that Adolf Hitler was also “wildly popular in Germany.”
However, our Fourth Amendment has NO meaning to the German people; therefore, OUR loss of that Amendment (thanks to Obama) has NO significance to Germans.
So, it’s easy for the German people to like this empty suit named Obama.
I think you are correct in saying that it would be safer to have McCain as president now that you have
very deftly presented a purposeful case for it.
“only elected foreign leaders have been invited to hold speeches at the gate and not political candidates.”
No one INVITED him. He has no class. He should be ashamed of himself. Such a bully.
Delusions of grandeur are a powerful motivator. Is there a psychiatrist on staff?
Obama is a madman; a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Now he thinks himself Messiah of the world. What a sick, perverted individual. He’s worse than Bush if that is possible.
Since the German People do not vote for POTUS (as far as I know
What is the strategy here? Who is his target audience and what for and why? This is just unprecedented and warrants suspicion.
First Chicago, then Washington D.C. then Germany and what? The Vatican next? Will he be granting the Pope an audience? Who gives this guy the right to believe himself the next Messiah? We need Freud or BUST!
This is very dangerous of Obama. He wants to involve the world in his candidacy, thereby building a base internationally of people who support him, but they would be let down if McCain became president.
This means, that Obama is already attempting to build a following of potential hard-core ANTI-AMERICANS.
Thanks Obama, you megalomaniac totalitarian wannabe. You SUCK!!!!!
PUMA!
I think Obama wants to have a photo taken in Germany so Obamabots can point to it as proof of his international experience. (Too bad Obama’s image can’t just be Photo Shopped into a picture of the Brandenburg Gate.)
The openly gay mayor of Berlin is advocating for Obama to appear at the Brandenburg Gate in order to embarrass Angela Merkel, according to the article in The Times Online linked above.
Will Obama be willing to be photographed with the gay mayor of Berlin when he refused to be photographed with San Francisco’s mayor? Just wondering…
Oh yes makes sense! She’s a conservative!
To those saying that Merkel herself engages in international electioneering: I’ll take that argument seriously when Merkel makes a speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
Oh, and didn’t you know that Europe adores Barky? They, too, want a change from Bush.
Obama needs to show his birth certificate….the original. Is he a natural born american? Obama is hiding the truth or he would already have produced documentation.
Obama’s father was buried as a muslim, therefore Obama is a Muslim according to Muslim birth rights. I don’t know why everyone calls us bigots when we point out the truth. He may not be an outwardly practicing muslim but just as Jews consider the child to be jewish if the mother is jewish, so do the muslims believe the child is muslim if the father is muslim. What is so complicated? I am not accusing him of being a terrorist. I am just calling him a muslim. There are many muslims in this country and we do not call them terrorists. The truth needs to be known.
Obama is a meddlesome, ignorant, self-grandiosing hypocrite. He certainly does not represent me. He is an embarrassment.
Whitey tape – the truth is out there
THE WHITEY TAPE HAS LANDED!!!!!
