O 'Bama Where Art Thou?

Celebrations begin in Berlin to commemorate the fall of the Wall - one of the seminal (that's right, I said seminal, Beavis) moments of freedom in our time...and where is our president?

He can go to Denmark and plug the Olympics for Chicago..
He can play a whole lot of golf..
He can date his wife..
He can campaign for governors..
He can make the rounds (over and over) with the talking heads to plug the abomination that is his healthcare plan..

But he can't go to Berlin?

In retrospect, its not terribly surprising.

He didn't meet with the Dalai Lama when he came to Washington..
He didn't so much as repeat his 'Cairo speech' when Iranian citizens were being brutalized and murdered when they protested fixed election results..
He supported Honduran President Manuel Zelaya (along with Castro and Chavez) instead of the Honduran people (who had the audacity to follow the dictates of their own constitution)...

Perhaps it is because, at this particular event, he would be unwise to 'apologize' for the United States when overseas?

Or is celebrating freedom just not his style...?

I promise, tomorrow I will find a new target... I still have a Ft. Hood hangover..
