It’s no surprise Europeans dote on Obama: he’s weak and has socialist leanings. From his event in Berlin: 

In this new world, such dangerous currents have swept along faster than our efforts to contain them. That is why we cannot afford to be divided. No one nation, no matter how large or powerful, can defeat such challenges alone. None of us can deny these threats, or escape responsibility in meeting them. Yet, in the absence of Soviet tanks and a terrible wall, it has become easy to forget this truth. And if we’re honest with each other, we know that sometimes, on both sides of the Atlantic, we have drifted apart, and forgotten our shared destiny.

Or, you might say that ingrate Europe has behaved like a bratty teenager, living off the blood and treasure of the United States while scorning her.

How many German troops are fighting in Afghanistan? None, because their soldiers are not allowed to fight. They just do peaceful duties.

In Europe, the view that America is part of what has gone wrong in our world, rather than a force to help make it right, has become all too common.

No kidding. But that’s all Bush’s fault for being such a cowboy.

In America, there are voices that deride and deny the importance of Europe’s role in our security and our future.

Yes, because Europeans are pussies. When Yugoslavia fell apart, who came to the rescue? The USA. The Dutch UN “peacekeepers” in Srebrenica who allowed the Serbs to massacre Muslims under their protection were later awarded medals for their service. 

That’s Europe today, buddy.

Both views miss the truth — that Europeans today are bearing new burdens and taking more responsibility in critical parts of the world; and that just as American bases built in the last century still help to defend the security of this continent, so does our country still sacrifice greatly for freedom around the globe.

Who violated the UN sanctions against Saddam, enbabling him to become a threat? The French and Russians.

That is why the greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one another. The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand. The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; Christian and Muslim and Jew cannot stand. These now are the walls we must tear down.

What a load of meaningless piffle.
