| THE elderly lady with her shopping bag stood and stared at the armed policeman politely but firmly preventing her from crossing the 8ft-high barrier built across the street. Its like having the Wall back, she said tetchily. But with a smile. The policeman smiled back. Stretching away on either side, a chain of 1,000 wall-like slabs daubed with graffiti form a new 1.2-mile barrier from the Brandenburg Gate to Potsdamer Platz now once again

Comments: The Bamster has better things to do with his time than celebrate the liberation of 500 million people in fifty nations.
He's still bitter about being denied a spot to speak from at the Brandenburg Gate during his campaign swing. Since it's not about him, he's not going.
Memo to Obama: This is The World celebrating without you. You ain't no Berliner.

Having spent five years there, frequently passing through Checkpoint Charlie, I will never forget witnessing scenes I never anticipated seeing in my lifetime. Berlin is such a vibrant place these days, one of my very favorite cities.

And America is represented by the second team. Could have been worse. Obama could have sent Biden to Berlin.

I hope FNC covers this so I can celebrate along with the Germans. I'm glad our Zero will not be there. He'd ruin it for everyone. He has no soul.
