German Chancellor Angela Merkel has invited President Obama to the 20th Anniversary celebrations of the fall of the Berlin Wall. He has snubbed the Germans because he is too busy.
President Obama, the childish, narcissistic, Campaigner in Chief can find time to fly to Europe to lobby for the Olympics in a moment of self aggrandizement and I am sure he will have the time to collect his Nobel Peace Prize for…well…we still don’t know exactly what it was for. But to go to the Berlin Wall celebrations would be to acknowledge there are evil regimes in the world. His foreign policy, such as it is, seems to cast America in the role of villain.
And in any case, his politics seem to align themselves more closely to those of Gorbachev and the other Soviets than Kennedy or Reagan.
Another reason to avoid the celebrations is to avoid the inevitable comparisons with actual leaders. Obama can read from a teleprompter with best of them but he communicates nothing. His speeches have no real meaning; no serious thought behind them. They are as devoid of depth as the man himself. They are artfully crafted compilations of bumber sticker slogans.
