No German candidate for high office would even think of using the National Mall or Red Square in Moscow for a rally because it would not be seen as appropriate.

Red Square, now there's an idea for Barry. Thanks to Merkel's spokesman.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA - CHANGE YOU CAN COUNT ON, BUT DON'T WANT

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

NOBAMA '08 STICKER - SIGHTED IN IDAHO, JULY 2008

Looks like Obama will have to “refine” his trip.

[kittymyrib]

Ah yes, the audacity of this egomaniac strikes again. What an embarrassment to this country he is! Can you imagine how offensive he would be as President with his haughty attitude?

Looks like Obama will have to “refine” his trip.

Maybe not. From what I understand from reading various articles from yesterday, the final decision is up to the mayor of Berlin who happens to be a liberal twit who loves the idea of Obama speaking at the Gate.

[Stentor]

Funny that this citizen of the world ends up trying to pull an “Ugly American” maneuver.

[jrooney]

So Barack Hussein Obama is already causing an international incident with one of our allies by pissing them off for attempting to use one of their historical sites for his campaign. Not surprising. He is a POS after all.

[6SJ7]

One thing you can say about an Obama presidency (*shudder*), it will be a real gaffe-a-minute... that is, if it does not kill us.

[caseinpoint]

Right you are. Obama’s ignorance of things beyond Harvard Square and Chicago are truly frightening, especially in regard to foreign affairs.

[SECURE AMERICA]

If Obama can not do his original dog and pony show he will find some other means to pull it off.
While not a Statesman, a Leader, a Patriot, he is without a doubt a political animal

[EDINVA]

Why wouldn’t Barry give one of his soaring speeches at the Brandnberg Gate? He so reminds me of President Reagan in every way !

ok, /sarc

[Night Hides Not]

Maybe Andrea will let him speak at Dachau.

OTOH, he'd probably call it Auschwitz.

[Argus]

Now that he’s thrown all his neo-Marxist best friends under the campaign train, the shameless con artist Barry Hussein wants to take his roadshow to the place where Ronald Reagan drove the first stake into the heart of the communist vampire, so he can posture as a Cold Warrior himself. Shameless!

[BusterBear]

No, no. The Brandenburg Gate is all wrong - it’s off message.
The context of WW II and the Cold War is like yesterday.

Obama is the new messiah. What he needs as a background is the Sea of Galilee so he can demonstrate the walking on the water shtick.

Thanks for the info. This development will be worth keeping an eye on.

McCain has raised a little over $100,000 overseas, mostly in England.

Obama has raised over a $1,000,000 overseas including 2 fundraisers in China.

Obama attempts clownish imitations of Reagan and Kennedy, while Michelle does the same with Jackie O... I think this couple will stretch our imagination quite a bit.

[keepitreal]

Ich bin ein egomaniac.

[weegee]

He probably wants to go to Germany so he can pay his respects at Pearl Harbor.

[Night Hides Not]

He probably wants to go to Germany so he can pay his respects at Pearl Harbor.

Only the parts the Germans bombed... :^)
