National pride sucks? Germany seems to be the only country that thinks so.
Internet has nothing to do with it, I lived there for 2 years. I saw the Turks and Russians rooting for their own countries over Germany during the European Cup, taking over the streets with their national flags.
Most other countries would not tolerate this level of disrespect from their "guests." But Germany loves to hate itself (also why the German media talks about the Holocaust 7 days a week.)
Yeah theres a lot of apathy over there, but it seems to be changing with the younger generations. Hopefully they'll get their self respect back before they disappear from immigration/complete lack of identity.
If Obama had gone he would have been critisised. If he hadn't gone he'd have been critisised. It's ridiculous even speculating on the issue! I think the US played it right by sending their current Sec'y of State and also Bush 41- who was in power in the US at the time. If were gonna over-analyse the 'issue', why not just climb up our own arses and take a peek into our rectums ;-)
chuckme1979 i bet u will also b the first to stand in line to get an H1N1 shot, huh? cuz ur lovely president tells u so, u r another zombie polluting the streets of America and falling right into the hands of the New World Order.. so much for saving this one hey boys!!
Obama did a very sensible thing by not going to Berlin. In the past the American leaders were blowing so much and comletely unjustifiably their own trumpet about their role in the event that really it became embarrassing. Obama 's message is - the fall of Communism is primarily an east european achievement and America's role is only secondary.
He sent a woman to do his job. Pres Obanga does not deserve respect from the European community until he is willing to personally engage in the dialogue and play an active role in the events that are shaping it. Reagan-Gorbachev was the best thing to happen to the Soviet empire and the people who lived on the other side of the wall. Unfortunately more walls need to come down in Europe.
A first-term senator fast-tracked by a party to become president has neither the service record nor the experience to earn respect from anyone. Best to stick with what you know, and those that know nothing, should stay home.
I was referring to Obama. He's a shining example of leading by doing nothing. If that is your thing, you have found your leader. You obviously are not a free thinker by regurgitating other people's ideas.
If he went he would be slammed in America if he didn't speak about Reagan's efforts in bringing down the wall, which he wouldn't. Liberals will never acknowledge all of the successes of conservatives like Reagan.
Obama can never acknowledge Reagan's role in bringing down the wall. Obama is a coward and a liar. All he can do is spend like crazy and flush the American dollar down the drain.
If Obama would have gone, the right would scream "Nero fiddles while Rome burns"-- especially after the base shooting. And Newt wouldn't have said a word.
The interviewer is not Chinese. And calling a Chinese "chinky" is a derogatory term. He is South Korean, his family name says that. Not every asian-looking person is Chinese. Asia is vast. Just as not every caucasian-looking person is european. Is that so difficult to understand? Anyway, belabouring on whether Obama should have gone to celebrate the anniversary of the fall of berlin wall in the face of other more pressing concerns is such a waste of time. That is just a commemoration.
what the hell is up with this interview? for 6 minutes this interviewer asks essentially the same question and gets pretty much the same response each time....BARRACK OBAMA DID NOT NEED TO GO CELEBRATE IN PERSON WITH THE FUCKING GERMANS...Is RUSSIA TODAY implying something here...recent videos and their titles have been pretty suspect...I'm losing trust in RT's objectivity the more coverage i come across
Also RT are you serious? We have our own problems in America at this time. We need our president here at home. Obama can't be everywhere at one time get a life....how selfish and narrow minded could you be....hIllary was there.
Fort Hood isn't Obama's problem.....they knew this guy was crazy back in 2007. Obama was president at the time.
Communism or Capitalism, stupid to take it on face value. Open your eye America Empire is collapsing. By the way, How many of those former Eastern European communism countries which are now capitalism doing or living better lives? Most of them are doing terrible except Poland perhaps. German is OK after unified. Russia is worst after collapsed.
China is still a Communism country but doing better and better. Now Vietnams an other communism country is doing better and better. It's not the -ism is the way you practice it.
I've noticed that too...a lot of RT's videos imply anti-Americanism...It's almost like a FOX News and MSNBC with its conservative and liberal leanings
RT just reporting news about US. It's US problems that they are always negative. Blame US) And I think it's normal being "negative" to USA today. All world "threat" are made by US - terrorism (al-CIAda), h1n1, economic, financial crisis, media propaganda, constant wars, IMF parasites, puppets who are provoking wars, and on and on..
Beleive me, when US will stop all this crap, RT will stop being "negative" to USA. It depends on your country and actions of its criminal heads.
I Love all the people with smart ass comments who probably 6 months ago were Liberal Dems voting for Obama, and watching how fast our country has gone to shit, have become Staunch Conservative Republicans.
While you're dreaming up your smart ass comment, just think about Election Day 08'
Who cares if Obama was there or not? We have pressing domestic issues here and he's going on a 7 day trip Japan, Singapore and China on Thursday, after the memorial service at Fort Hood. The memorial was fine with, Merkel, Medvedev and the rest of the European leader there.
New America Foundation? Russia Today should choose their guests more carefully. I smell Rotschilds. Wait! Oh yeah, there has been a shooting in Texas going on exactly at the same time when Obama was supposed to visit Germany. What a sad coincidence...
Puppet Obama did not visit. Surprise? Who would dare to meet angry Angela and German Opel workers equiped with sticks and stones? And ironical Vladimir? Obama and his whole administration is a bad joke, liars and scumbags. They own GM, they sign the agreement, they grab the money and then - they fuck you up with a big Mickey Mouse rubber dick.
Haha heh... gooosh this is sticking everything up to itself piece by piece like puzzle. GM refused to sell Opel to Sberbank. Germany was preparing the deal and it was allmost finished, then GM slaped Angela Merkel in the face. GM owed by US goverment. So Obama skipped this event because he would have to explain everythig to Merkel and Medvedev.
Who is this apologist jerk that RT has on the show. He is such a kiss ass... looks like he spent too many years in college apologizing for progressive liberal tyrants. This guest is so socialist he's probably bummed out by this entire event.
He is probably scared off not getting the limelight he is used to!
He can stay in the US all the time he wants. We don't need here more fucked up politicians who don't honor the rule of law. And making up new rules for the system as they go along just to cover up their own mistakes and worse enriching the banksters as well as irresponsible managers of this world who brought as all into this calamity.
We would rather ship our corrupt government into the US than welcoming new crooks here!
Obama has to be in TX tomorrow to honor the dead soldiers at Ft Hood. I'd love to hear that's the only reason he couldn't make it to Berlin to celebrate the largest historical success over communism.
obama makes no decisions he follows decisions of the bilderberg group, the CFR, the trillateral commission and the federal reserve who are all connected to the UN and want to create a New World Order. obama is just a puppet to sell this stinking fish to the emrican public to swallow as if it was caviar.

Yep 20 years ago East Germany was opened up to Turkish colonization...oh what joy.
The ironic thing is the most rapidly growing party in Germany right now is Die Linke which are basically neo-commies.
And as usual almost no German flags because real national pride is illegal in Germany.
This is hands down the most pathetic country in the world today...maybe not economically -- yet -- but certainly morally.
