Patriot Politics

Part of being a good friend is that you show up for the important events: baptisms, weddings, graduations, holiday parties, funerals.  We suspect the protocol people in the White House are having a heck of a time with Barry and MO.  The Narcissist-in-Chief and the Queen of Classlessness just don’t care unless it’s about them.  Why else would he not be attending the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the Wall?  Nope, our boy Barry is snubbing Angela Merkel’s personal invitation and sending his surrogate, Miss Happy-to-Be-Anywhere-Really- I’m-Important-Too Hillary Clinton.

Let’s recap Barry’s travel priorities during the first nine months of his reign in office and through the rest of the year:

• The Apology Tour, Part 1 – The Muslim World. “My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.” – in an interview with Al Arabiya
• The Apology Tour, Part 2 – Europe. Karl Rove summarizes : Mr. Obama told the French (the French!) that America “has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive” toward Europe. In Prague, he said America has “a moral responsibility to act” on arms control because only the U.S. had “used a nuclear weapon.” In London, he said that decisions about the world financial system were no longer made by “just Roosevelt and Churchill sitting in a room with a brandy” — as if that were a bad thing. And in Latin America, he said the U.S. had not “pursued and sustained engagement with our neighbors” because we “failed to see that our own progress is tied directly to progress throughout the Americas.”
• The Apology Tour, Part 3 – The United Nations speech.  Peter Wehner points to the “clinical addiction” Obama seems to have with apologia, especially in front of an international audience.
• The Apology Tour, Part 4 – Sub-Saharan Africa, where Barry’s extemporaneous remarks while visiting a former slave depot dripped with unintended irony: “That reminds us that sometimes we can tolerate and stand by great evil even as we think we are doing good.”
• The Apology Tour, Part 5 – Mexico. Yep, it’s all our fault.
• The Apology Tour – Asia. Coming via breathless coverage by the lamestream media to you next month.  Stops in China, South Korea, Japan and Singapore.  This trip is scheduled to commence two days after the Berlin festivities.
• Copenhagen – rooting for his hometown with the IOC.  FAIL.
• Oslo – in the works to pick up an award he admits he doesn’t deserve.

Since Obama has made it his mission to travel more than any other President EVER!, you’d think a congratulatory stop in Berlin would be just the ticket.  Barry tours more than U2, after all!  Except, wait.  Darned if we can’t think of a thing he could apologize for during a celebration of the end of tyranny.  Seems as though his advisors can’t convince him it’s worth the trouble if it’s not about him.
