Some of you are old enough to remember then-president Ronald Reagan’s famous line “Tear down this wall!” It was a challenge to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to destroy the Berlin Wall to symbolize increased freedom in Communist Germany.
But Barack Obama has better things to do than to travel to Berlin to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. That would cut into his court time with his man, Reggie Love. And it would leave precious little time for all those lavish parties he throws at the White House.
Instead, Obama will hop on Air Force One and travel to Oslo, Norway to accept the Nobel peace prize that he has no business winning.
In the meantime, Obama continues to stall and delay making a decision on U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates’ request for more troops in Afghanistan. While Obama stalls, more American troops are dying daily in Afghanistan.
Of course Obama can’t send more troops to fight a war AND accept a Nobel peace prize at the same time, can he? That would make him look too much like someone who has no business winning a peace prize in the first place.
