(People of Berlin people of the world this is our moment. This is our time.)
I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

“We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.”
He says this at at time when there has not been a major terrorist attack anywhere in the world for years now. We will never know how many unsuspecting civilians have not been killed by terrorists because those would be terrorists have been forced to fight our troops instead, weakening their leadership’s ability to plan and organize large scale attacks on civilian targets around the world.
Who has paid the lion’s share of this? The American military that’s who. We don’t owe anybody any apologies. They owe a debt of gratitude to those who have died and sacrificed everything so they can live. I don’t expect that will ever happen but for Obama to say these things really is adding insult to injury. When will we ever learn? When will we stop being the big dogs on the block getting beat up for defending the very Chihuahua’s biting at our ankles at every chance they get?
"During President Clinton's tour of Africa he apologised not once but twice: in Uganda he apologised for the slave trade; in Rwanda he apologised for western inaction in the face of the Rwanda genocide." April 13, 1998, The Guardian.
The Iraqi people themselves have never mattered to Democrats - it’s always been about politics.
"Dear fellow leftists. One day, hopefully soon after I am elected, I intend to turn America into a mirror image of your defenseless, clueless, cradle-to-grave leftist, welfare states. I pledge to grovel and apologize before every slimy, third-world dictator and Jew-murdering, Islamo-fascist thug. Be patient. After I'm done, the road to irrelevancy, moral drift, and supine begging for our sworn enemies not to hurt us will have begun in earnest. Just you wait."
“This whole day has left me feeling ill.”
Tell me about it !!
One good thing....today is really good for my diet....
my tummy wants nothing...
even chocolate sucks !!
The headline at the ABC link is:
Obama in Berlin: 'The Burdens of Global Citizenship Continue to Bind Us Together'
Yes, please do not make up titles.
So, the racist Muslim thinks he would represent the world if he became the President of the United States. I have a problem with that but I bet the people and governments of the rest of the world do, too.
a new hitler in the making? it is getting very scary out there people...
I just want to cry in outrage
Have to wonder what the Israeli’s are thinking right about now
Have to wonder what our own American jewish community is thinking about this performance
And Obama signs at the Wailing Wall.
He is a black Hitlerian. The “black” is his alibi.
It is highly inappropriate to take a political campaign overseas. Politics should end at the water’s edge.
It’s arrogant and obscene for Obama to do this anyway, without even getting to the words he speaks, which just aggravates it all the more.
and the press is playing up to him. i just pray to God that there are enough people in this country smart enough to see through him and vote the right way. God help us all.
So right you are.
I would have agreed with you some time back, but at this point, the idea of an Obama presidency really really scares me!
There's also the issue of the Supreme Court. An Obama presidency would be a disaster for conservatives. What do you think about McCain/Romney ticket? Do you think that would motivate conservatives?
and the press is playing up to him. i just pray to God that there are enough people in this country smart enough to see through him and vote the right way. God help us all.
“And Obama signs at the Wailing Wall.”
When I saw that last night...
I was horrified....
It was an insult....just damn.... no words are adequate...
If your list gets any longer, you’ll have to single-space the entries.
This bastard thinks he can speak for us. He is completely undermining our elected officials and our foreign policy and I'm mad as hell that the press, far from calling attention to this, is enabling it!
Note how his speech shifts the focus to Afganistan to avoid praising the troops and Bush/McCain for their dramatic victory in Iraq?
The arrogance of this asshole! If he wins in November and just one judge retires from the SCOTUS, he will have all branches in his pocket and this country will become socialist in no time.
