I am flummoxed, why would he skip this? Merkel asked him personally to come in June.....its gonna be a big event, I think since we played a fairly large part, it would seem well, kind of strange we bowed out?

I thought we were tired of him "globetrotting."

Shouldn't he stay home and focus on what really matters?

Globe trot? I see….yes of course, so Copenhagen rates as a globe trot too?


I’d say a seminal event that effected , well, a huge portion of the planet, billions of people for 50 years, freed tens of millions more, may be something he can show for, I mean it aint the Olympics, but hey…

that was a pretty dark day for him and his ilk, makes sense he would not wish to go through that up close and personal.

Right. He's not going to go untill they put it back up.

At this point I think he's better distracted.

Are you kidding? Give up on another perfectly pronounced speech--but WHOOPS I guess he would have to give praise to Ronald Reagan--so it's probably better to go out & do what he does best--CAMPAIGN--lol

After last nights results in NJ & Virginia--it would probably be a very good idea for Obama to start now--LOL.

Why? Reagan had nothing to do with the fall of the BW other than in the most cosmetic sense. LOL. Go learn some history.Sorry, as much at you'd like to convince yourself of it, NJ was a referendum on it's governor, not the O.

Ah, you mean where you simply confirmed what I had already clearly explained, and I corrected you repeatedly on the idiocy of comparing the US and Mexican economic systems and political conditions?

You kept beating my fist with your face.No, what's just happened is, yet again, you fail to actually address an issue and cannot support what you have stated.

That's what I like about you. Your idiotic consistency.

and ironically you've apparently got no response to his argument.

well done.

Perhaps at the time of the campaign he was under the impression that Germany was one of the 57 states and somebody corrected him after the campaign was over... he did stump there after all...

Seriously, though, I'm not surprised. He's more than likely not going to give Limbaugh and the other pundits a bone to chew on so he can pull some behind the scenes magic while they're distracted.

He should definitely go. It's been more than forty years since a United States president has professed to the German people that he is a doughnut.

Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

Ronald Reagan, Brandenburg Gate, June 12, 1987.

YouTube - "Berlin Wall" Speech - President Reagan's Address at the Brandenburg Gate - 6/12/87

so he gave a speech about it. does that mean the wall wasn't coming down anyway?
