I thought this would have been on the front page of the DR.

Would he have been back in time for the Stab and Jab that he hosts at the White House every Wednesday evening?

Look You've never liked Obama from Jump street. YTou have made petty swipes at Him at every turn. He could cure cancer tomorrow and You would find something ANYTHING to lambaste Him over. Let's face it dude NOTHING would satisfy You with regaqrds to Obama. You have turned into one big joke JeffJ. You really have. Sorry to see that too.

Larry

Are you cool with him skipping Berlin, Larry? The 20th anniversary of the most monumental event of our lifetime and he can't be bothered to show up?

Please tell me, how is this criticism a "petty swipe"?

Personally, I think that since Obama is a Marxist he can't find it in himself to celebrate the biggest hit Marxism has taken to date.

Hey jeffy, They should dig St. Ronnie up and send him.

Did they ever actually bury Raygun? The funeral ceremonies went on for so long I thought they were waiting for him to spontaneously regenerate.

Larry,

In case you haven't been paying attention (you only see what you want to see) I have yet to criticise Obama in his handling of Afghanistan and Iraq - a couple of pretty big initiatives that fall under his control.

I also praised him for carrying over some of Bush's policies regarding 'the war on terror'.

I praised him for keeping Gates as doing so helped streamiline continuity.

So, take your falsely attributed premise (I hate all things Obama) and put it where the sun doesn't shine.

The 20th anniversary of the most monumental event of our lifetime

No, man walking on the moon was the most monumental event of our lifetime.

IUt's a petty swipe because He has a full plate of stuff to do here JeffJ. You know doing the work that He was hired to do. Yet You make a big ole stink because He isnb't in Berlin. You gave Him grief when He went overseas yet You condemn Him for not going to berlin now. It's bullshit JeffJ it really is. Fucked up to the max is what it is JeffJ.

I don't know how old Larry is, but Jeff is in his mid 30's, so he was probably speaking specifically about "their" lifetime.
You're most likely a crusty old fuck.

uh, The Deciderer didn't attend every Berlin Wall anniversary, did he?

Yet in another display of supreme Irony ----- the "conservatives" of today celebrate the Liberalizing of a people over there while they simultaneously claim it as "ruining America" over here!
Apparently they have to realize that what differentiates us from Iran (or any theocracy/dictatorship---- is our liberalism (even though they supported a war costing trillions in an effort to "liberalize" the ME)!

Some pretty Funny, incoherent and perplexing shit when some thought is put into it!

In a related story, Michelle Malkin revealed today that President Obama skipped the 943rd anniversary celebration of the Norman Conquest of England.

That might qualify as American Exceptionalism. A German family divided by the Iron Curtain would probably disagree. As would tens of millions of Poles, Romanians, Ukrainians, Hungarians, etc. Frankly, even the Russians. Especially the old ones.

Well then fuck him then. How sad is that shit that the single greatest event of their lifetime is not strapping three men onto a huge fucking bomb, shooting them 180,000 miles out into space, landing them on the moon then bringing them back home?

What a fucking generation of underachievers.

Fuck them.

It was one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind, not America only.

For these idiots it's probably the X-Box.

IUt's a petty swipe because He has a full plate of stuff to do here JeffJ.

Like appearing on Letterman? Yeah, that's real important. He has plenty of time for golf and other liesure activities (and I don't begrudge him that).

Yet You make a big ole stink because He isnb't in Berlin.

It's the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall, Larry. That was a HUGE event, an EPIC event. As for your deflection, I gave him very little grief over taking time out to lobby for the olympics. My criticism was largely on the fact that if he was going to take the time to make a case, he should have been reasonably assured of the outcome - instead he got bitch-slapped. As for Berlin, his absence belies a fundamental lack of historical understanding.

I was born in 1971 - after this happened.

As cool as the moon landing was, it pales when compared with the takedown of a governmental ideology that literally enslaved its populace.

There He goes again Lambasting Him for B ULLSHIT. Why am I not surprised. Hell He pitched a fit when He went overseas to apologize for our past bad behaviors to the world and He had a fucking cow. Now He has a fucking cow because He isn't in Berlin. Amazing truly amazing.

Larry

Hell He pitched a fit when He went overseas to apologize for our past bad behaviors to the world and He had a fucking cow.

You idiot.

I pitched a fit over the content of his speech, NOT because he went in the first-place.

Foreign policy is a responsibility exclusive to the executive branch. I fully expect him to travel and speak overseas; it's part of his job description. What I DON'T expect is for him to lambaste the country he was elected to lead.

Now He has a fucking cow because He isn't in Berlin.

An event that commemorates the fall of Communism and he can't be bothered to attend???

Communism was, and still is, a human tragedy on an almost unfathomable scale. The 20th anniversary of such an epic event is HUGE. Obama's absence is deafening.

bwhahaha see there You go again. amazing simply amazing. Your credibility is shot to hell with regards to Obama You have criticised Him from the very begining. from Your stupid Flag pin bullshit to lambasting His middle name to this. My G-d dude You don't like the dude which is fine. But to sit here on Your G-d damned high horse condemning Him for not going to Berlin when He has a full plate here. Hell I wouldn't doubt You lambasted Him for going to copenhaqgen to try and win the olympics for America. Amazing JeffJ simply amazing.

Larry

You're unconsciously proving my point.

He can make time to fly to Europe and rip on America, but can't be bothered to celebrate the fall of the wall.

Maybe the author is this article is right - the event isn't enough about Obama for him to make the time to attend. But he certainly made the time to formally receive his bullshit Nobel prize come December.

"Obama's absence is deafening."

My hearing seems just fine. You know as well as I do he would get just as much criticism if he went as he will by not going. Nothing he can do will ever be good enough to please those who are so invested in hoping his presidency is a failure.
What the man really ought to do is ignore his critics completely and do his job the way he thinks he should do his job.

Larry,

He allowed the actions of others dictate whether or not he chose to wear a flag pin. That is just stupid.

Also, I already made references to some of his actions that I am either neutral toward or actually support.

Did you see that post?

Probably not as you only see what you want to see.

As for his middle name, it's just a fucking name. I invoked it to get a rise out of his supporters. When I discovered just how thin-skinned they were about his given middle name, I stopped - it wasn't worth it.

But to sit here on Your G-d damned high horse condemning Him for not going to Berlin when He has a full plate here.

It's a matter of priorities, Larry. He found the time to go on Letterman. Fucking Letterman! This event is a big deal, Larry.

You lambasted Him for going to copenhaqgen to try and win the olympics for America.

I lambasted him for going when the outcome was so uncertain. For him to make that trip and then have Chicago finish dead-last in the voting made him look stupid. THAT was the crux of my criticism. Had Chicago won-out or had been runner-up, my criticism would have been dampened to the point of non-existence.

What I find so ironic is that you accuse me of blindly criticising Obama (but ignore when I do praise him in the process) yet you react to ANY criticism of him, no matter what, as baseless and bullshit. You are what you are castigating, Larry. Go look in the mirror, you will see a kettle.

Danni AMEN JeffJ and others they don't really give a shit if Obama is there or not they will just lambaste Him because He is either Black or a Democrat. They have ZERO credibility with this especially JeffJ who has done nothing but criticise Obama even before He was a Primary nominee. It just takes the cake it really does. Obama like You said should just shut His ears to them and carry on. They are quite useless in the political dialouge anymore.

Larry

You know as well as I do he would get just as much criticism if he went as he will by not going.

Most on the right recognize the significance of the wall coming down and only a few, marginalized idiots would have actually criticised him for attending this. He would have gotten major criticism if, when speaking at this event, he used it as an opportunity to blast America and try to revise history to minimalize America's role in the fall of the wall.

Danni AMEN JeffJ and others they don't really give a shit if Obama is there or not they will just lambaste Him because He is either Black or a Democrat

Fuck you and fuck your race-baiting bullshit, asshole.

I'm glad he's not going. It would send the wrong message.

Fuck you and fuck your race-baiting bullshit, asshole.

Then pray tell why so many on the right try and label Him a Nigger and other epitaphs huh JeffJ?? How many in here call Him chimpy and other derogatory terms for a blackman??? Don't try and wash Your sides hands of this. It won't work with Me.

Larry

"He found the time to go on Letterman."

While I don't think anybody should have the time to go on Letterman, you're talking about a 4 or 5 hour committment round trip NY To DC, versus taking at least a day to go to Berlin... if time constraints are really what's bothering you.

As cool as the moon landing was, it pales when compared with the takedown of a governmental ideology that literally enslaved its populace.

Considering that governments all around the world are still to this day enslaving their populations, I would hardly call the idealogy "taken down".

I speak for myself and myself alone. I don't use any racist terms to describe him in any way.

Oh, and if you're so bunged up about racial epitaphs, he's been given far better treatment by the right than Clarence Thomas or Condi Rice EVER got from the left in terms of race.

you're talking about a 4 or 5 hour committment round trip NY To DC, versus taking at least a day to go to Berlin...

I know and recognize the difference. I view this as a monumental historic event and think it's very bad form for him to skip this particular event. Of course, as far as Larry is concerned, I am a racist for feeling this way.

The world is far more free now than it was 20 years ago.

Communism has been largely discredited, although some of the political left try and whitewash its sins.

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnn deflecty THEN criticise the left about clarence thomas and COndi Rice. You've lost dude. I hope someday I can remeet the Old JeffJ. I really do. Laterz

Larry

"I view this as a monumental historic event and think it's very bad form for him to skip this particular event."

Sure. I bet even he does, but I can also think of a few reasonable and politically pragmatic reasons why he might skip it.

"He found the time to go on Letterman."

This is especially ironic considering the ilk making these claims is the same group that defended Bush's record of taking one day off in every three.

And to really drive the point home is the fact that after claiming the 30 day long brush clearing vacation(s) every august was "tradition" ---- the first year out of office he doesn't go there.

Priceless!

Yawnnnnnnnnnnnn deflecty THEN criticise the left about clarence thomas and COndi Rice.

Just pointing out the hypocrisy of your selective outrage AND calling bullshit on your position that ALL criticisms of Obama are racist.

but I can also think of a few reasonable and politically pragmatic reasons why he might skip it.

Such as?

"Such as?"

Antagonizing Russia and China?

No, man walking on the moon was the most monumental event of our lifetime.

........no way guys.........

.....Michael Jackson inventing the moonwalk, THAT was the most monumental event in history.......

He found the time to go on Letterman.

.....letterman does not shoot in Europe.......

.....besides, Obama is due at the funeral for the soldiers killed at Ft.Hood......

Sorry to disappoint you all but Bob finding smoke stacks on the moon is the monumental event of our lifetime.

I thought it was the discovery of the Car Antenna being a deadly weapon of mass destruction....

The Berlin Wall came down despite, not because of, libtard politicians like Obama. Having him go to the celebration would be like the Boston Red Sox showing up at the big NY parade last week.

No, der Spiegel has it right: there's nothing in it for Obama, so he won't be going.

#46

It IS Frank, it IS!!

But that isn't our monumental event in history.

So Hillary introduced Obama on the megatron in Berlin.

Claimed that here was Obama knocking down his own walls of discrimination, stereotypes and caricatures...

Pass the Pepto

its real simple

this wasnt about him so he didnt go.
but he did send a tape or something so hey...

is it really THAT big of a deal?

So far the only defense of the President of the United States of America not being there is....

he'd catch grief whether he went or if he didn't go.

That's how to decide whether or not to attend?

If the point is true, the right will say he's wrong no matter what.... Shouldn't he just do what is right, the correct thing to do.

Not being there is the right thing? In the grand scheme of international politics NOT being there is the right thing to do?

"The 20th anniversary of the most monumental event of our lifetime

No, man walking on the moon was the most monumental event of our lifetime."

I'm curious as to why no one thinks 9/11 wasn't the most monumental event of our lifetime? After all, didn't it "change everything"?

Wow, ask if whether Obama's choice to go or not to go is actually the right one or not, and you can kill a thread a pretty quickly I guess.

BHO agenda...." Undermine our allies. Embolden our enemies. Diminish our country."

Besides it would have made Russia upset!!!
