On Fridays Special Report on the Fox News Channel, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer criticized President Barack Obamas speech on Wednesday at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.
The speech was sparsely attended compared to the speech Obama had made at the same venue back in 2008 during his first presidential election campaign. And as part of the All-Star Panel Friday Lightning Round segment, Krauthammer won the privilege of posing the question to his colleagues on how to define the speech.
Obama gave a speech in Germany this week, Krauthammer said. Was it a) a stirring defense of the United States and the concept of liberty, like Reagan and Kennedy; b) a mediocre mush of platitudes; c) the worst presidential speech on foreign affairs in memory; or d) self-indulgent, anachronistic and adolescent?

HAIL!...to the new counterculture.

You are right. He was elected 9 years after the hyperinflationary period ended.
But he did inherit a country racked by the Great Depression and high unemployment (rather the opposite of the full employment and hyperinflation of the 20’s).
Just saw video of Obama and Putin leaving the stage and Obama putting his hand on Putin. I can imagine that Putin thought, “Get your grubby hands off me, will you?” Obama’s always pawing people; it’s a sign that he thinks he’s the dominant one. Boy, is he in for a surprise!
Yes. Great points! Thus I guess his comment that successful business people didn’t do it on their own. (Maybe his puppet master was giving us the wink with that one.)
I think Obama is someone's puppet.
They call us intolerant...yet they want us dead.
Not sure what has happened in the brains of liberals...but a desire to kill us Judeo/Christian lovers of the idea of America has taken hold!
Watch the actions and facial movements of Kathleen Sebelius...she wants us dead. Just like she wanted the little girl in need of a lung transplant dead.
Sebelius lives for the rules...humans who do not obey the rules must die.
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaa....sounds really freakky good to me!!!!!!!!!!!
The speech was vapid, like the man.
B-HO is definitely Jarrett’s puppet. And through her, the Muslim Brotherhood’s puppet.
In 2008 they thought Obama was a Rapper
And his speeches sound just the same to me now as when Kraut was cooing over Obama.
You’re right-he looks ill. His eyes look dead. He has no soul. Evil does that.
On what part of the body did he place his hand? I’d love for Poot to deck the twink.
Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, hold the egg, hold the sausage, hold the muffin...
Ya THINK, Charlie? You mean he wasn't trying to get himself considered in the same company as JFK and Ronald Reagan!?
Oh, tell me it isn't so!!!
C'mon, cough it up - new monitor.
You know why!!
LOL!
As additional proof: Chelsea's comment about her Grandmother's lack of birth control info. Geez!
