President of the World

Unprecedented, mesmerizing, unequaled, earth shattering. Words to describe Barry’s speech in Berlin yesterday? Not exactly. These are words that aptly describe the level of arrogance he displayed during his foreign odyssey.

The Berlin speech was the icing on the cake. In his attempt at a Kennedy-esque moment he described himself as a “citizen of the world” and spoke about all of the barriers he will break down. Many have dubbed him the black John Kennedy. After seeing the hubris of this man he’d probably say that John Kennedy was the white Barack Obama.

Barry’s body language says a lot. When greeting foreign leaders on this trip, he would shake their hand and then immediately turn his attention to the assemblage of cameras as if he were on the red carpet. It’s all about image for the Obama campaign. It has to be because there is no substance to his message.

Barry has denied that this was a campaign trip. He called it a “fact-finding mission”. He canceled a visit with injured American soldiers at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany. An Obama spokesman said “it would be inappropriate to make a stop to visit troops at a U.S. military facility as part of a trip funded by the campaign.” Hmm. He didn’t have a problem shooting hoops with servicemen and women in Afghanistan. Guess there weren’t any facts to find from brave injured American soldiers.

I have one final note. The Obama campaign has begun the process of forming a White House transition team. This is shocking! I thought for sure he would have had this setup months ago. Better get back on the ball, Barry, if you’re going to save the world!
