Obama tells adoring crowd in Berlin: ‘We can’t hide behind a wall’

In Barack's little brain, the United States and Mexico are a single country like Berlin was a single city? Well that's a treasonous opinion to have.

As I wrote recently, if we saw Merkel embrace Trump, we can imagine the Fake News...what's going on? There must be some side deal. Trump is really a Globalist. It's all Ivanka and The Prince's doing, Bannon is on his way out... Yada yada yada...

However, compare Merkel/Obama with Helmut Kohl - a slightly Reaganesque and dare I say Trumpian (former) German leader, insoafar as "Kohl faced stiff opposition from the West German political left, and mocked for his provincial background, physical stature and simple language." Per Wikipedia, Kohl:

-published the book Aus Sorge um Europa ("Out of Concern for Europe") outlining criticisms of Merkel,

-was widely quoted in the press as saying, "Die macht mir mein Europa kaputt." ("She's destroying the Europe that I have built."), joining former German chancellors Gerhard Schröder and Helmut Schmidt in their similar criticisms of Merkel's policies in these two fields,

-Kohl was visited in 2016 by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and released a joint press statement regarding the European migrant crisis, saying that both doubted that Europe was capable of continuing to absorb refugees indefinitely.

Seeing Obama and Merkel having a love-fest is yet another "eh" moment for me...tell me something new. However, the fact that Trump is more aligned with Kohl, and that Kohl is not aligned with Merkel, and that Kohl is aligned with history, gives me comfort that we really did elect the right guy.

Exactly - there is no lie that Barack Hussein Obama will not tell.

And yet there are fools and more fools that believe in him.

We know. We know the guy is a traitor and treasonous. Forget about him. Our victory is in moving into the bright future ahead of us, not looking back at this dark, menacing figure.

This isn’t aimed at you particularly 2ndDivisionVet. I just wish FReepers would end their fascination with this traitor and move on to dealing with the good things in store for us.

[Cboldt]

Who’s hiding?

[DesertRhino]

What an asshole. Going there while Trump is in Europe.

[mass55th]

Meanwhile, he’s speaking behind a security barricade of not only fencing, but concrete barricades to protect him.

Know Your Enemy is our motto in my former occupation.

FReepers, it's time to get serious about retiring this FReep-a-thon.

I would have liked to see his salary cut off.

His traitorous acts are cut and dried, crystal clear.

Let him fend for himself.

Yank his SS detail and send him off...

Tell me what Fing business it is of any German to want the United States to let in illegals from Mexico.

“[Berlin] wall built to keep people IN.....”

Exactly the point I was going to make.

Here is the question to ask your lefty friends:
“Do you lock your (car, house, apartment) doors?”

To the 99.99% who answer ‘yes’, ask the questions:
1. “why, are you a racist, or a bigot?”
2. “Why do you choose to live in fear of who might come in through your door?”.

Regardless of their answers, you can then almost assuredly respond with:
1. “how is it any different to have a ‘locked door’ on our border(s)?”
2. “What is wrong with requiring that folks ‘KNOCK on the door’ - giving us the opportunity to ask who they are - before granting them entrance to our country?”

We know our enemy. We’ve had eight years of the sob.

Know the enemy but focus on the prize. We’ll never get to our goals by looking through the rear-view mirror. We crash and burn when we do that.

“Looking unto Jesus the author and Finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2). The Bible never tells us to focus on the enemy. Let’s focus on the Victor and our victory in every area of life.

Patton knew the enemy but he didn’t obsess over him. He did just the opposite. He focused on his determination to crush the enemy. He never let the vision of the enemy loom larger than his vision for victory.

General Patton was a commander, not an intelligence specialist.

STFU Barry, ya faggot Moose-Lamb! ...

“Looking unto Jesus the author and Finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2). The Bible never tells us to focus on the enemy. Let’s focus on the Victor and our victory in every area of life.

That's not just for commanders.

We should be mostly publishing the truth on FR, not the lies, and as much good news as possible to bolster morale. Peripheral negative headlines sabotages our purpose IMO. IMO, nobody here needs to know about private-citizen Obama. We're sick of the guy.

[RckyRaCoCo]

...says the POS that hid behind lawyers and his butt-buddy media for 8 years.

[blueplum]

Why is Obama stalking Trump?

[Flaming Conservative]

Is there an accurate count of the number of times he referred to himself?
