Instead of boarding a plane to celebrate this momentous occasion with the Germans, President Obama and his Popular Rule would rather the last image of our “Chosen” President to be his campaign speech in Berlin. He would rather remind us of his message of condolence, remorse, and regret, than for a moment appreciate what prior generations of Americans have helped to accomplish. In the eyes of progressives like President Obama, the United States cannot acknowledge its part in such a monumental achievement, because to do so would give weight to his opponent’s arguments that criticize his apathetic approach of appeasement, and could lead to a sense of American Exceptionalism that progressives hate more than tyranny, oppression, or a loss of the most basic human rights. So this anniversary will come and go. It will be remembered in Europe and it will be celebrated on the streets of Berlin. Our leaders will be honored and our actions will be commemorated. The United States will be appreciated even if only for a brief moment by the world community… and the unfortunate reality that we all must realize, is that our President hopes that we all miss it. http://republicanredefined.com/2009/11/05/ronald-reagan-fall-berlin-wall-american-achievement/ The Obama administration has tried so hard to paint the United States as an “evil doer” in the realm of foreign affairs that it would be far too detrimental for his administration to change course for such an occasion.
