Obama Heads to Oslo for Nobel, but Too Busy for Berlin Wall Ceremony
Pajamas MEdia ^ | Oct. 26 | Arthur Chrenkoff

In December, President Obama will fly to Oslo to receive in person the Nobel Peace Prize he was recently awarded — beating, among others, Chinese dissident Hu Jia. He might also drop in next door to Copenhagen, where the United Nations will be trying to arrive at a global solution to climate change, a sort of another Kyoto, only successful.

President Obama, however, will miss the November 9 celebrations of the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the event symbolically marking the end of the Cold War. “Barack too busy,” reports Germany’s Spiegel.

Unkind cynics might say that Barack is too busy preparing America’s future defeats to celebrate her past victories. But even the more sympathetic observers will wonder what sort of “scheduling difficulties” will keep the leader of the free world from participating in a celebration of one of the most momentous events in the history of the twentieth century — one which was a culmination of America’s longest (albeit cold) war and which represented the victory and vindication of everything that America stood for over the forces of tyranny and totalitarianism.

Obama, of course, has notoriously missed another recent anniversary....

November 9th is probably a day of mourning for Obama and his Ilk.

They probably said he had to come in person to get the check. He is probably sweating they will want to see some identification like a real birth certificate.

Dear Free World: Barack Obama is just not that into you.

It's all about The One.

Besides, he's got other plans...

Before we go to far with this, we have to remember, Obama knows nothing about American history and could care less if he is not in front of a camera with a teleprompter.

I think it safe to say Vladimir Putin won’t attend either.

When it’s all about him, he is there. His head is so big now that his ears look like they fit. Well, almost.

He takes an award that he doesn’t deserve and turns his back to the fall of communism. Why not? He loves communism.

If our country doesn't care about his origins, why would the external enemies of this country care?

Hopefully, we’ll arrive at an American solution for regime change...a sort of 1994, only successful in gaining the White House too in 2012.

If we were to attend, he would be obligated to speak.
If we were to speak, he would be obligated to discuss the event.
If he were to discuss the event, he would have to also acknowledge Reagan.
If he acknowledges Reagan, he would have to concede Conservatism worked.

Ain't gonna happen.

The fall of Communism was a bad memory for the Left. They are seeking to establish the Soviet ReUnion through Communist sympathetic policies.

The fall of the Berlin wall could hardly be celebrated by Barack Obama, because if he had had his way and Jimmy Carter was reelected, or Walter Mondale elected after one term of Regan, then that wall would still be standing. The most stark example of real Peace was the destruction of the Berlin wall. Ronald Regan and George Bush were instrumental in insuring and securing that peace.

So while Barry picks up his phony baloney Peace Prize, two men who actually attained peace will continue to not be recognized by the Liberal intelligentsia and mainstream media for one of the greatest feats in modern times. The destruction of communism as a workable idea and the ending of the Cold War.
