Somehow she manages to give a "shout out" to Obama for tearing down other kinds of walls, though.

"Soetoro SHOULD be comfortable with styrofoam. It is, afterall, what his presidency is made of."

I generally try to keep my comments brief so as to allow better flow within a thread. I think some dead, white guy wrote something about brevity and wit. I suppose expecting that you'd read more than one sentence in a three-sentence comment is too much to ask.

Though I'd directed my comment to a conservative, I'll remember to keep my comments to you to one sentence or less. Shall I as well limit the words I use to one syllable or less?

"I hear that the "dominos", like the Greek columns at his acceptance speech, were made of styrofoam."

What's that supposed to mean? Do you think Obama planned the Germans' celebration for them?

Well, nothing wrong with getting two good snickers in one day! Thanks.

I still think he feared them falling on him. They were, after all, REAL big. ('Course he could have taken Michelle along to protect him from BIG things and things that go bump in the night.)

Thanks for that. I've known only one other person in my life who is the narcissistic equal of Soetoro.

thanks to a video which descended from the heavens and wafted like the fragrance of a sweet smelling incense onto the gathering in the Kingdom of Obama:

"Few would have foreseen ... that a united Germany would be led by a woman from Brandenburg or that their American ally would be led by a man of African descent. But human destiny is what human beings make of it."

The TOTUS speech was not about the people and the events that led to the destruction of the wall; it was about the narcissist Obama and his ascendancy to Supreme Leader.

The gutter is where Vlad feels most comfortable. It is the place that he has finally found friends like Munck who are of the same mindset.

For anyone intelligent enough to type on a keyboard and old enough to remember to say Reagan wasn't the primary factor along with Thatcher for fall of the Berlin wall and the collapse of the soviet union is disgusting. The only reason they won't is because they did not want to see America win or the evil empire fall. They hated freedom then and they hate freedom now. And don't bother with your stupid "well then do you think?" questions . I'm not wasting my time on jabbering fools.

"Going to Berlin would have appeared "presidential". Soetoro made the correct decision to send Hillary in his stead."

Hee Hee . . .

He had a couple of other reasons too: He feared getting upstaged by the lady who runs Germany and he feared that one of the huge dominos would fall and mash his skinny butt.

Right you are. Certainly would not want to do anything to take away the Rock Star image that Soetoro has worked so hard to create. No large fawning crowds no Obama that is the message here.

Happy to answer your question as soon as you pull yourself out of the gutter you inhabit.
Seriously, I would enjoy it.

"I would with any other President. With President Soetoro however, it certainly would have smacked of hypocrisy. He being a Marxist and all...."

Well, thank you for a straight-up answer. That kind of thing eludes most of your comrades on the right.

So then you don't agree with those who criticize Obama for not going to Berlin, since he shouldn't have been there in the first place?

Please read more carefully.

I was an "adult" for only three weeks when Reagan spoke those words at the Brandenburg Gate.

"A whiney, high-pitched catterwaul about "attacks" from the right."

It was a straightforward, legitimate question. For somebody who eggs on the pornographers and says that I always drag the discussion down, why are you dodging the topic of this thread?

Do you think President Obama should have been in Berlin yesterday or not?

I would with any other President. With President Soetoro however, it certainly would have smacked of hypocrisy. He being a Marxist and all....

As well, Soetoro is "uncomfortable" with victory. We wouldn't want the man-child messiah to be "uncomfortable" now, would we? He probably stayed home and watched an HBO "documentary" about himself like he did last Tuesday.

That said, I'll bet The One would have gone if the Olympics Committee were there debating where to hold the games. As we know, the Olympics are vastly more important than the liberation of E. Europe from the very ideology which he espouses.

have been dropping their fetid pellets--SURPRISE--of Revisionist Squalor on this thread, I see.

God, what pantywaist punks. No wonder they worship at The Bammo Altar of Beta-Male Weakness Worship. No wonder they loath American Exceptionalism and Might.

Go take a few hours silent stroll through St.Avolt in Lorraine. There lie the American youth who bought France and Germany their freedom. All they asked in return was the ground in which to rest.

Again, this is all, "Vlad-the-Impaler" has---that's it.

A whiney, high-pitched catterwaul about "attacks" from the right.

Well, well, now, this is further justification for the Left to completely shut down talk radio. I mean, let's take all the focus off of muslim "political correctness" and put it squarely where that focus belongs:

"Right-Wing" attacks.

A simple reincarnation of the Hillary Hoo-Hah over, "VAST-RIGHT-WING-CONSPIRACIES".

Obviously, you hate this country. Otherwise, you'd never utter the same words that your kind admonished the First Lady for. Hypocrisy knows no bounds in rightwing logic.

Reagan and Thatcher need only be referred to as the architects of the current economical nightmare that both the US and England are still bogged down in. That is their leadership legacy. The fact that Clinton didn't mention them at all serves as a balm to those of us who know what those two 'leaders' truly stood for.

I'm proud of my country. I'd turned 18 just three weeks before hearing these words,

"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!"

I consider myself fortunate to have seen the wall come down, and I'm proud of the role America played in the demise of the USSR.

Ironically, the Democrats are doing to us voluntarily what Reagan forced the Soviets to do: destroy us economically.

The right attacks Obama because he DIDN'T speak at the wall.

The right attacks Clinton because she DID speak at the wall.

Do you seriously expect us to believe that had Obama flown to Berlin yesterday, you all would have said, "Yes, that is an appropriate act for the president of the United States"?

Perhaps we should consider paying recognition to all of the more recent CHILDISH manifestations of the demoncrap party, and this administration's torchbearing of this long tradition.

Certainly, one would have to include on that list the childish gifts Obummer gave to the prime minister of great britain. Yeah---a collection Obummer's own favorite movies on DVD can only be quintessential kidult interpretation of that $64,000. question, "What to give a diplomat".

Man-Child, that's our president.

Yours are futile attempts to usher this predictable, pedantic, pathetic, pathologic Liberal from these threads.

If you only were witness to the myriad times she has, "threatened", on her own volition, to leave, you would truly know how futile.

It is so indicative of just how pathetic she is.
It is one thing for you or me to ask her to leave. It is wholly different for her to have said----so many times, one loses count----that she is initiating a departure.
It's the height of DRAMA-QUEEN antics.
It is what contributes to her complete emotive psyche.

Nice try, nonetheless.
