Why is Obama Not in Berlin?

Rich Lowry of National Review is asking that question for all of us. In his first year, Clinton visited 3 countries, Bush 11. Obama’s visited 16, but not Berlin with our allies on the 20th anniversary of the Wall’s fall—the event that effectively marked the Cold War’s end.

Lowry notes Obama was in Berlin last year, where he said, "a wall came down, a continent came together, and history proved that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one." Obama used the passive voice to obscure one big fact—“a wall came down” because we won, they lost.

Ronald Reagan went to Berlin in 1987 and said, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Two years later, thanks to the West’s strength and the East’s increasing weakness, oppression lost, freedom triumphed.

Obama lives a politically correct life. White men didn’t make history. They ruined history for the world’s oppressed masses. Obama gets it. He will bring the world together, as he brought white and black together organizing Chicago’s south side, winning the Iowa caucuses, then winning the world’s most powerful office.

Berlin? Cold War? So yesterday. So all white, a tiny white part of a big, mostly colored world.
