Barack Obama bombs in Berlin: a weak, underwhelming address from a floundering president
The Telegraph ^ | 6/20/2013 | Nile Gardiner

Posted on 06/20/2013 7:05:05 AM PDT by rktman

In stark contrast to that of his presidential predecessors, Barack Obama’s message on Wednesday was pure mush, another clichéd “citizens of the world” polemic with little substance. This was a speech big on platitudes and hopeless idealism, while containing much that was counter-productive for the world’s superpower. Ultimately it was little more than a laundry list of Obama’s favourite liberal pet causes, including cutting nuclear weapons, warning about climate change, putting an end to all wars, shutting Guantanamo, ending global poverty, and backing the European Project. It was a combination of staggering naiveté, the appeasement of America’s enemies and strategic adversaries, and the championing of more big government solutions.

Such command, such tenacity, such a dunce. Glad someone calls it as it was instead of the msm bowing down at the feet of king hussein. This guy can draw more flies than attendees anymore and yet............he still bullies us around like no tomorrow. Hey citizens. Here's an energy increase for ya. How do you like that? Hey coal miners, don't worry, the ebt cards are in the mail. Oh yeah, and I'm gonna control mother nature and the weather too.

Ah, at least the foreign papers admit that our chicken-lipped, cretinlike, lying piece of excrement Loon-O-Dent is exactly the slime that lots of us know that he is.

Wow! Were that a U.S.-based “media” outlet, such an article would’ve triggered an inquisition by the Dept. of “Justice,” followed by a wave of audits from the Infernal Revenge Syndicate.

Yeah, Angela was almost going to take off her jacket.
Right. What a look of disgust on her.

Obama looks like a girl standing next to Merkle. Her facial expression is pure disgust.

You must go to the Telegraph site and read this scathing article, because you certainly can’t find it in any US newspapers. And the comments following the article.....priceless!

“... from a crowd that was one-hundredth the size of JFK’s,” and far smaller than the 200,000 boisterous Germans who had listened to his 2008 address as a presidential candidate.

The Germans have lived under the nazis and the commies, so they've already heard all the crap 0bama has to say.

Obama speech at the Brandenburg Gate

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l-8A2YrB_A

[29 minutes. I didn’t bother to listen to the whole thing. I skipped ahead. It was lackluster. Same ole rhetoric. Poster 120M observed this: “He talks about tearing down walls but actually is standing behind the wall of glass. Isn’t it very significative?”]

Dear Germany,

We’ll trade you the Obamadork for Angela.

We’ll give money.

Lots of money.

All of our gold, oil, and patents.

Everything.

Just take the piece of excrement and flush it somewhere.

P.S. You have to promise to NEVER let it out of the country.

Ever.

That’s ok! He still thinks he did a marvelous job!!! He’s happy being who he is. As significant as a skid mark on a square of toilet paper being flushed to sea!
