A Reagan wannabe in search of a wall.

Obama, no doubt personally incensed at the idea that anyone would criticize his desire to preach to the masses at the Brandenberg Gate, in true Quixotic style, managed to find some other walls to tilt after:

"The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand," Obama said, speaking not far from where the Berlin Wall once divided the city.

"The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes, natives and immigrants, Christians and Muslims and Jews cannot stand," he said.

No, Obama didn't get to have his moment at the Brandenberg Gate. But this megalomaniacal, mentally-challenged manure-for-brains wannabe still had the audacity in to pitifully attempt to channel Ronald Reagan.

Word to Obama: You are not now, nor will you ever be Ronald Wilson Reagan. You aren't even fit to spit-shine his cowboy boots.

By the way, as a further smite toward our servicemen, Barack Hussein Obama sacked a scheduled visit to wounded U.S. soldiers in a German hospital.
BERLIN (AP) - Sen. Barack Obama scrapped plans to visit wounded members of the armed forces in Germany as part of his overseas trip, a decision his spokesman said was made because the Democratic presidential candidate thought it would be inappropriate on a campaign-funded journey.

The spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said Thursday that Obama made his decision out of respect for the servicemen and women, but Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign immediately criticized the move.

"Barack Obama is wrong. It is never inappropriate to visit our men and women in the military," said Brian Rogers, a spokesman for the Republican contender.

What a tool. Barack Hussein Obama, IMO did not visit wounded U.S. soldiers for a reason. If he did, there would be no fawning crowds. There would be no fanfare. There was nothing in it for the "messiah." For in Barack Hussein Obama's world, it's all about him. He couldn't be bothered to make a sidetrip to visit some wounded soldiers because he not only has no appreciation for their sacrifices, he actually loathes the reason that they were injured in the first place, and loathes the mission for which they sacrificed.

And yet the media minions (Drudge included) fawn all over this mentally, historically, and geographically-challenged bozo (who, incidentally, is as dependent on a teleprompter as a baby is dependent on its bottle) as if he were the second coming of sliced bread.

I don't get it.

Does the name, "Nicolae Carpathia" ring a bell with anyone?

***UPDATE***

It appears that the anointed one's campaign thought it would be a good idea to desecrate a holy site with campaign posters:

JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama's campaign plastered the entrance to the Western Wall – the holiest site in Judaism – with official campaign posters, WND has learned.

Jerusalem police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld confirmed to WND posters that adorned police barricades erected at the Western Wall plaza for Obama's visit were distributed by the presidential candidate's campaign.

"These posters were his campaign and not the doing of the police," said Rosenfeld, whose police department coordinated security and provided protection for Obama's visit today to the holy site.

Asked if it was traditional practice for politicians visiting the Western Wall to bring along posters or campaign materials, Rosenfeld replied, "No."

Obama campaign posters can be seen in media footage of the Illinois senator's early morning surprise visit to the Western Wall.

His visit reportedly was not on the official campaign schedule.
How...tasteful.

But then again, he is the anointed one. And one cannot necessarily desecrate a holy place with posters from an anointed messiah, can one?
