I know that I don't look like the Americans who've previously spoken in this great city. The journey that led me here is improbable. My mother was born in the heartland of America, but my father grew up herding goats in Kenya. His father - my grandfather - was a cook, a domestic servant to the British.
Given Obama's Saran wrap-thin resume, his grandfather looks overqualified. Obama spent 143 days in the U.S. Senate before deciding that he was ready to become leader of the Free World. Even Hillary, terminally megalomaniacal as she is, was never quite that bold. And that was before his stellar (by liberal standards) career as "community organizer" and state senator who voted "present" on controversial matters.
At the height of the Cold War, my father decided, like so many others in the forgotten corners of the world, that his yearning - his dream - required the freedom and opportunity promised by the West. And so he wrote letter after letter to universities all across America until somebody, somewhere answered his prayer for a better.
"The West" never promised anyone freedom. America has. Why can't Obamafraud credit America as the bastion of freedom in the world? Perhaps he shares his wife's and former pastor's view of America as a "downright mean country."
Ours is a partnership that truly began sixty years ago this summer, on the day when the first American plane touched down at Templehof.
There was never any "partnership" between America and Germany back then. We carried the lion share of the effort and expense needed to rebuild not only Germany but the whole of Europe.
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.
Is this the same guy who once said Iran was not a threat because it is a "tiny country?" Granted, in true Obamafraud form, the next day Obamafraud was saying that Iran is "a grave threat." That's leadership. Obamafraud style, that is.
