Germany: Details of Obama visit being handled

Dan-252312

The audacity of his ignorance. You do realize if you bother to read his site, you will find them posted! Be responsible for educating yourself.

He has divided this country setting us back 50 years with all this racial innuendo now he is dividing the Germans over where he wants to make a speech. The Brandenburg Monument is a symbol to the German People to remind them of the terrible strife their country went through with Hitler and Russia. What is his symbolism going to be racial for the black man. This monument is for all the German not just the locale population. He is so arrogant an I hope the German people will not let him do this arrogant thing. And shame on them if they do.Does he now think he can rule the world he will mesmerize the world with all his hot air bull@!$%#. Read your Bible he has a silver tongue and the people will follow like sheep and you are all following like sheep . God please help us all if he is elected you will all surely regret it.

e.g sammie,

I am absolutely amazed of what I am learning about so called Americans! This man is half white but this is ignored by you and the likes of you. All you see is the darkness of his skin. I have never once heard Obama use his skin for any reason beyond responding to questions proposed to him by some (white) reporter.

You do realize he was INVITED there right? That means they seek him out and not the other way around. You do realize his ratings in Europe is higher than the sitting president ( granted not impressive) and any other potential President, right? Do you not consider the great public relations he brings to our credibility in other countries or are you too angry that a "black man" would be a possible help to the UNITED States where ALL men are supposedly equal and have the right to pursue their endeavors in life. That does not apply by your standards because he is not all white? The man speaks well and you have an issue with that? This is cray. You tell back people they should make their own way and when one does, you find fault. He tells you where he stands and is willing to compromise with the other party and in return, you criticize him. You create symbols of explicates and then call up the WORD OF GOD and you question his stance? God, please help us all if there are enough of you to cost him the election.

This is theatrical and cynical. My comments has nothing to do with race.. This has to do with the man and his ethics. Everything he does is less related to what he really believes but as a promotion for himself. He aligns himself with the Kennedy legacy by appointing Caroline Kennedy as an adviser to his vice- presidential committee, something for which she is meagerly qualified. He walks into the Senate with the ailing Edward Kennedy, riding on his coattails while he still can. He goes to Reverend Wright's church for twenty years to get Black support and when it is no longer helpful to him dumps the man and his church. He makes a speech on patriotism in Harry Truman's hometown. He all about manipulation of his image by positioning himself with things that or people that has great historical significance to give himself some of the weight, importance and significance. Which he doesn't have because he hasn't done anything.He is creating a fictional Obama, a great man, a great leader when he hasn't accomplished anything great or lead anywhere. He is creating a media image and is quite shameless about. His makes a nuisance of himself to the German government so he can get the right photo op for himself. His whole tour isn't to learn but to use and stage and to create an illusion of greatness. He hasn't accomplished anything as a servant of the people. He used his elected positions to further his ambition. He is using the American people to further his own ambitions. He is not running to serve the country but himself.

Let's just turn the tables for a moment. Would we ever see a candidate ... candidate, not even elected official ... for German chancellor or president giving a speech at the National Mall with the Lincoln Memorial as a backdrop? Both locations are equally important & symbolic in each countries history. The arrogance and sheer commercial mindedness of this man is maddening! I must say, as a devout democrat, he is rapidly loosing points in my book. I fear I will be left with no one to vote for in November. Shame there isn't a box you tick that says something to the effect of "neither".

"A prophet is never respected in his own country". Most of us foreigners are amazed that some Americans are so blinded by "race" that they refuse to see the obvious. Now I understand why your country is in a state of decline, If you cannot recognise and harness the potential of an "Obama presidency".

Bowie, No doubt we have problems, yet America really is a great place. I hope this election will help "Unite" us further. Meanwhile, may I have permission to quote you?

He's taking time out of his schedule to go and talk to the German population?? About what? Why doesn't he take time to go to Germany and visit one of the many Army posts or Air bases? What about the big hospital that is set up in Eastern Germany? Does he think the Germans are the ones electing him into office? What is he hoping to do by going to Berlin? If anyone knows why he's going to Germany to give a speech please enlighten me.
