Barack Obama in Berlin: a Weak, Underwhelming Address from a Floundering President

Normally, I don’t pay much attention these days to any of the speeches by President Obama, since, as my readers already know, they are usually filled with many half-truths, untruths, distortions of the truth and outright misinformation, and we have already been misled enough by this administration. But, since this speech in Berlin was being heralded as another ‘speech to the world’, I thought it might be just interesting to listen this time.

Well, I was wrong. Even though the crowd listening to his speech numbered only around 5,000 or so, I thought for sure that the President would give a somewhat ‘rousing’ type of speech, particularly since he was speaking to a more European, liberal-thinking crowd. But, his speech was simply filled with more platitudes and his visions of his dream world. Several times, I almost felt, as if he was trying to stake his claim to be the next Secretary General of the United Nations, rather than continuing to be the leader of the free world and representing the United States on the world stage.

Frankly, it was another rather embarrassing performance by our President, as the world now has a glimpse of the real Obama: a talented political campaigner, but an incompetent and misleading executive, who is mainly interested in furthering the concept of ‘big government’ solutions in order to achieve his ultimate goal of making everyone but the ‘elites’ equal through his redistribution of the nation’s wealth and income.
