Yet More Classy Obama Foreign Policy: Skipping Auschwitz Liberation 70th

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

Obama is not going to attend the 70th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz. Why? No doubt because he would have to share the limelight with many other heads of state. Obama doesn't do sharing. And it probably has something to do with the victims being Jewish...he dare not offend the Unmentionable Terrorist Network.


Treasury Secretary Jack Lew will represent the United States at the 70th anniversary ceremony for the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp on Tuesday—rather than President Barack Obama or Vice President Joe Biden—while other countries are slated to send their heads of state.

Tuesday’s ceremony will likely be the last major anniversary where a significant number of survivors of the Nazi camp are present. About 300 are expected to attend, and most of them are in their 90s or older than 100. Nazi authorities killed 1.1 million people at the camp, mostly Jews, which was liberated by the Soviet army in January 1945.

The New York Times reported on the foreign dignitaries that would be present:

A preliminary list of those attending includes President François Hollande of France, President Joachim Gauck of Germany and President Heinz Fischer of Austria, as well as King Philippe of Belgium, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark. The United States delegation will be led by Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew....

Obama Will Not Attend 70th Anniversary of Auschwitz Liberation Washington Free Beacon

I think you might want to do some research on how the Secret Service and other intel agencies play into where the POTUS goes and when, and just a whole lot of other things on his plate that maybe, just maybe, isn't available to the press and public.

So now the Secret Service tells the Lying Cocksucker in Chief what to do?

Yer a moron. Of the highest order

That's not what I said.

But as an example, why do you think Obama goes to Martha's Vineyard for summer vacation every year instead of someplace he and the family would really like to go?

Just start there and try to think.

u-bam-a is an islamatic.

He is anti-semitic.

Is an islamatic sort of like an islamist on automatic? As opposed to a manual islamist? Or are you just too stupid to be true?

No muslims were harmed at auschwitz...so obabble the Shia has no interest...

 

[NoTeaPartyPleez]

Maybe this is why Obama won't be at Auschwitz. It's amazing to think of how many morons are out there who think Obama's calendar is just as empty as theirs.
He was already scheduled to be in India.

Sorry BoeDICKA, thread fail.

Obama will travel to Saudi Arabia after King Abdullah's death

“President Obama and the First Lady will travel to Riyadh on Tuesday, January 27 in order to pay respects to King Salman bin Abdulaziz and the family of the late King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in a statement.

Well, the Liar in Chief was going to send Joe to King Abdullah's Funeral but the Saudis said only Muslims were allowed to attend.

So obama has to go himself

So full of shit.

 

[Coyote]

No US President has attended an anniversary ceremony at Auschwitz. Reagan didn't i 1985, Clinton didn't in 1995, Bushdidn't in 2005...what's the big deal here?


Oh...and Putin won't be attending either. The Right must be crushed.

Ted (the swimmer) Kennedy loved The Vineyard.

Maybe Our Kenyan Emperor goes there thinking he might get lucky too.

 

[Katzndogz]

It would be insulting for a jew hater like obumble to go.

Do we really need to see him giggling and grab assing? Remember Mandela's funeral?

 

[HenryBHough]

Why would He go to the site of something that never existed?

That He knows because He was told by His Iranian mentor, Achmondinnerjock, that Auschwitz was only a picnic ground for fun and children's games!

The Saudis don't like Obama, ever since his first term when he sucked up to the Turks (who are regional rivals), and in this term gave Iran a carrot. He is a poor geo-political player who fails to understand the delicate balance of not overly favouring one nation over another.

Having made distasteful comment about the distasteful picture posted on the first page of this thread, I apologize if I offended anyone.

 

[Yarddog]

You know, its that " never again" thing. So yeah, maybe why its not important

 

[Freewill]

We let the Jews be slaughter, we didn't enter the war to save them, so why exactly would we need to drop by for some fucking ceremony?

As a message of solidarity with the victims and their descendants, and as penance for our modest part in doing so little at the time.

Something that any President without strong Muslim ties would have been more likely to do?

We feed Israel for that, and that's far more than they deserve. Ever ask yourself why so few could imprison so many? It's because those little Jew cowards were unwilling to die like men, and nothing has changed only they are the Nazis now.[/QUOTE

You need an education and some decorum.

Reagan honoring Nazi war dead in Bitburg, Germany, 1985.

Reagan honoring Nazi war dead in Bitburg, Germany, 1985.

Was Ronnie Raygun 'honoring' them, or 'remembering them', in the spirit of healing, some 40 years after the end of WWII?

And, was Ronnie 'remembering' Nazis, or simply the German soldiery - which included many apolitical soldiers, soldiers who were nominal party-members only, as well as dyed-in-the-wool party loyalists?

Have we not remembered the War Dead on both sides of the First World War, time and again, in the past couple of years, now that the 100th anniversary time frame is upon us?

Are we not able to remember the War Dead of Germany, Japan, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, etc., from WWII, and express sorrow for their passing, along with our own, some 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 years after the fact, now that the old Axis nations have become reconciled with most of the Allies of WWII?

Were not such remembrances on the 20th or 30th or 40th (1985) or 50th anniversaries of the end of that godawful war, a necessary precursor, with respect to healing and reconciliation, to the trusted and friendly relations that most of the former WWII Allies now enjoy with former WWII Axis countries?

Was not Ronnie's act one of those very instances of healing and reconciliation, and a symbolic affirmation of 'present'-day solidarity with those former enemies and present friends, remembering their dead, without endorsing the cause or side for which those dead had been slain?

Hell, even our own entertainment media has taken-on a conciliatory tone, in recent decades; both portraying the former Enemy in human terms (Das Boot, Letters from Iwo Jima, Valkyrie, Downfall, etc.).

I remember the dedication served-up at the end of the 1990s movie - Memphis Belle: "This film is dedicated to all the brave young men, whatever their nationality, who flew and fought in history's greatest airborne confrontation."

In truth, at the time, most folks knew that Ronnie Raygun was serving-up just such a conciliatory gesture, even if some (here, in Israel, etc.) still found it objectionable.

He wasn't endorsing Nazism, nor overlooking the Jewish suffering of the Holocaust - merely indulging in an act of reconciliation, on behalf of our Greatest Generation.

I feel under no particular compulsion to defend Ronnie, but I'm calling this one like I see it - rightly or wrongly.
