Barack Obama showed up again in Berlin. Sadly, 194,000 of the fawning devotees that cheered him like a rock star in 2008 chose to skip the 2013 encore.
Nonetheless, directly out of the Brandenburg gate, the president commenced with injecting race and gender into the conversationwhen he said "Angela and I don't exactly look like previous German and American leaders." Obama then informed the audience, consigned by invitation to stand in the blistering heat listening to his blather, that Michelle, Malia, and Sasha, rather than endure his grueling speech, chose instead to experience the "beauty and the history of Berlin" (at American taxpayers' expense).
But probably the most amazing aspect of Obama's Berlin speech was his typical lack of self-awareness when making assertions that conflict with everything he does. For instance, although President Obama is actively persecuting the "unoriginated birthright of man," he quoted German philosopher Immanuel Kant, who said "freedom is the 'unoriginated birthright of man, and it belongs to him by force of his humanity.'"
Obama even posed questions Americans ask about him:
Will we live free or in chains? Under governments that uphold our universal rights, or regimes that suppress them? In open societies that respect the sanctity of the individual and our free will, or in closed societies that suffocate the soul?
In Berlin, Obama attempted to one-up Ronald Reagan's "Peace through Strength" strategy by stealing John F. Kennedy's "Peace with Justice" mantra and scheduled the revision to take place at Brandenburg Gate, where his social justice spiel paled in comparison to authentic Reagan strength.

That’s funny, 1500 wouldn’t come even though they were given tickets, they were the smart ones:)
Sure Angela looks nothing like Adolph, and Barry looks nothing like George Washington.
Will we live free or in chains? Under governments that uphold our universal rights, or regimes that suppress them? In open societies that respect the sanctity of the individual and our free will, or in closed societies that suffocate the soul?
We are in chains, to wit ObamaCare.
We are suppressed with the Bill of Rights under siege.
Our souls are suffocating with confiscatory taxes, poor job prospects, and oppressive gubmint intrusion.
Uh... that would be "hugh and series". At least Obama didn't say he saw a host in the sun. /s

There was also "moose" but I don't remember why. "For great Justice" was one of my favorites - we need to bring that back!
Also, bring back the rabbit with a pancake on his head!
In 2008 they thought Obama was a Rapper
LOL! I thought YOU came up with the beeber...the "stunned beeber"!

Think I'll invite Rooster Redux over here. He may have some remembrances, too. Beebers and what not!

You got my post, NSA and IRS? What a bunch of overpaid maroons...
Hugh and Series are not code words. They are just old, good jokes among FRiends.
Baby, baby, baby, drone on me, baby.
We have to FLESH out lyrics - "drones on us" sound like porno and all porn needs a soundtrack.
I don't know why or how I know this. So, just let it go!
*snicker*
... how about "Don't drone me bro"?
