It wasn't a big deal so I suppose there really isn't any reason to be upset about it.

I mean it's only the 20th Anniversay of the most earth shaking event in world history in the last two decades but it's not a big deal.

Interestingly enough the news coverage from the United States was somewhat reserved at best so most American's won't even know what happened November 9th, 1989.

In fact, I'll bet that you could walk onto any college or university campus and ask them what the signifigance of that date is and they will most likely stare at you with some beer or marijuana-induced haze and have no idea what your talking about.

So I guess it stands to reason that a former law professor would not care enough about the events that transpired to even go.

ALL of the top diplomats from the major freedom-loving countries were there...except the President of the United States.

Oh, he gave his remarks though. He made sure that his favorite people in the world, Berliners, would hear his voice.

He NEEDS to have them hear his voice.

Instead, our so-called Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, did her duty and brought a VIDEO of Obama giving a speech to commemorate the event.

Once again Obama is sending DVD's to the leaders of Europe. What is it with this guy and the DVD's?

Now, it's not lost on the Germans that Obama CLEARED his schedule to go to Copenhagen to petition the IOC for the Chicago Olympics AND that he plans to move mountains to get to Norway to accept his Nobel Peace Award later this year.

So basically, the premise that the German people are left with is that the reason Obama did NOT show up for the anniversary commemoration is because it's NOT ABOUT HIM.

When it came to commemorating the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union and the Cold War, Obama was...busy.

Maybe he did not want to go because he knew that everyone would be thinking about ANOTHER American President who actually DID do something to destroy this wall.

Ronald Reagan shocked the word with his "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" speech.

However it was just the kind of courage that was needed at that time to make something happen and to declare to the world that the United States sttod with freedom loving people everywhere.

Obama does NOT like to be second stage and he knows he would have been here. Again, it's not about him so he sees no need.

I mean the Obama Adminstration played this SO badly that they din't even think to send the Vice President in his stead.

It is truly amateur hour at The White House.

This President seems intent on pissing off not only his major political base at every turn but ALSO pissing off our allies as well.

It won't be long before this man turns around at some point and realizes that he is alone on an island...isolated.

Mr President, I have a piece of advice for you Sir: That which you sow you shall someday reap.

This is a national embarassment.

Thousands died trying to escape the tyrrany of East Berlin and our President doesn't even have the common decency to honor that sacrifice.

Come to think of it, Obama isn't big on people fighting for their freedoms from oppressive governments.

Just ask the Hondurans and the Iranians.

Shame on you Mr President. Shame on you.
