Failing to see significance of Obama’s historic Berlin visit
As usual, right wing fanatics fail to see the significance of Barack Obama’s historic appearance in Berlin. Sure, world leaders have sallied about there, chit-chatting and even orating like JFK but never has a South Side Chicago community organizer been permitted to wallow in the undying adulation of goose stepping, sausage and sauerkraut eating Socialists. Austrian paper hangers with a funny little booger brush perhaps but not community organizers!
Photo opportunities abound for a fawning media. Imagine the presumed candidate doing a peppy polka in lederhosen and a Tyrolean hat. That’s enough to make people forget the goofy grinning Michael Dukakis astride a tank, wearing a steel pot with no liner and will certainly equal if not exceed the pompous landing on the deck of a moving ship sporting a flight suit.
