Obama mulling major speech in front of Berlin’s Brandenburg gate
unbelievable.
his presumptiousness and arrogance get worse by the day. does he really believe that he is in the same league as JFK and reagan???
uh, barry? maybe you should GET ELECTED AND ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING before you get this cocky.
idiot.
and an excellent smmmmmmackdown from the comments section:
Great – so, he doesn’t have time to have town hall meetings with McCain, but he DOES have time to take make a publicity seeking trip to Europe. Senator, Europeans are not electing the next president of the United States. If it were up to Europeans, we’d probably have a president George Clooney by now. But, I agree, if he’s going to make a speech, he should wait until AFTER he’s president (if he is). Between this and his “presidential seal,” Obama is really full of himself.
HA!
UPDATE: angela thinks it’s “inappropriate”:
German Chancellor Angela Merkel slammed a request by Barack Obama to give a speech this month before the Brandenburg Gate as “inappropriate”, her deputy spokesman said Wednesday.The conservative leader said that while she would be pleased to meet the US Democratic presidential hopeful, it would be wrong for him to hold a “campaign rally” at the historic symbol of German unity.
“It is unusual to do electioneering abroad,” spokesman Thomas Steg told reporters.
“It is unusual to hold election rallies abroad. No German candidate for high office would even think of using the National Mall (in Washington) or Red Square in Moscow for a rally because it would not be seen as appropriate.”
