Hillary doing what she does best...

"Our history did not end the night the wall came down," Mrs Clinton told current and former European and US political heavyweights on the eve of the 20th anniversary of an event that symbolised the end of the Cold War.

"It began anew," she said in a keynote speech hosted by the Atlantic Alliance.

"To expand freedom to more people, we cannot accept that freedom does not belong to all people. We cannot allow oppression defined and justified by religion or tribe to replace that of (communist) ideology," she said.

The chief US diplomat recalled how German Chancellor Angela Merkel, during a visit to Washington last week, spoke of the walls of the last century and "the less visible but equally daunting walls" of today.

"These are walls between the present and the future, walls between modernity and nihilistic attitudes, walls that divide our common heart, that deny progress and opportunity to the many who yearn for both," Mrs Clinton said.

She highlighted the moment that Chancellor Merkel will on Monday walk through the heart of once-divided Berlin as a moment that "should be a call to action, not just a commemoration of past actions.

"That call should spur us to continue our co-operation and to look for new ways that we can meet the challenges that freedom faces now," Mrs Clinton said.

"We owe it to ourselves and to those who yearn for the same freedoms that are enjoyed and even taken for granted in Berlin today," she added.
"And we need to form an even stronger partnership to bring down the walls of the 21st century and to confront those who hide behind them: the suicide bombers, those who murder and maim girls whose only wish is to go to school," she said.

"In place of these new walls, we must renew the trans-Atlantic alliance as a cornerstone of a global architecture of co-operation," Clinton said.

Such an excellent speech. Good for Hill. At least she represented us well. Her so-called boss chose not to even attend the ceremony.

And you gotta wonder why.  So much of what Barry does is counterintuitive, don't you think?  It's like Obama is TRYING to tick America off!  He may be trying to destroy us, but most who would try to do that would attempt to at least keep it from being OBVIOUS!!confuse

Alex, you put it well - counterintuitive.  I can only think that he assumes he has so much support that it doesn't matter what he says or does to piss of the American people, no one can do anything about it.  I only hope he's wrong.  Lord knows he has some money backing him.  And by the time he serves out the rest of his term, this country will be so altered, we'll be lucky to be able to find our ways home after work - let alone recognize the country our parents, loved ones, relatives, and ourselves have worked to defend.  It makes me sick.

Obviously, he and his staff are out of touch.  He seems to be surprised at times when there is a bad public reaction to his actions or remarks -at least he did at first.  He no longer seems to even be bothered by this.  After all, he is the great omnipotent Obama.  And he really has an edge - he couldn't give a sh** less about this country or whether he screws it up completely.
