German Chancellor Angela Merkel extended an invitation to Obama the Immaculate during her recent visit to the US. The invitation was to come to Berlin to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which sounded the death knell of East Germany, the Warsaw Pact, and the Soviet Union.
Obama turned her down, and has given no specific reason in public. The Big O once again slaps one of our most important allies in the face.
Now, there are multiple possible explanations for this:
1) Obama is too busy to fly to Germany for a day. (I really don't think so, he had no problem flying over there to try and 'rescue' the 2012 Olympics for Chicago, and he's had plenty of time to make multiple campaign appearances for the just defeated Democrats in New Jersy and Virginia.)
2) Obama does not want to be compared to Ronald Reagan, whose 'Mr. Gorbachev, bring down this wall' speech will undoubtedly be played again and again during the anniversary celebration.
3) Obama does not want to embarass his good buddies over in the Kremlin by acknowledging the anniversary.
4) Obama does not want to participate in a celebration of the defeat of Socialism.
5) Obama does not think the fall of the Soviet Union was a good thing.
6) Obama is miffed that he wasn't allowed to stand in front of the Brandenburg Gate at the wall for his 'President of the World' speech back before he was elected.
No matter what the reason, this is not the behaviour of the President of the United States - it is the behaviour of a spoiled little brat. Disgusting......
