A Wall, A Narcissist, and a Case of Badly Mistaken Priorities


'Barack Obama’s shameful absence from Berlin'


Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey flew to Copenhagen in an ill-fated attempt to secure the Olympics for Chicago.

He and his wife will fly there again to accept his Nobel Peace Prize.

But when German Chancellor Angela Merkel invited the President to Berlin for the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, he couldn't be bothered.

'It's Pathetic -- and Telling'


Compared to Barack Obama's extraordinarily narcissistic speech in Berlin during the campaign ("This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal"), for which he also found time, Ronald Reagan's 'four little words' in Berlin actually meant something.


Idea: Richard.
