Did anyone notice the irony in Obama delivering his speech at a war memorial, especially a war memorial celebrating the German victory over the French in 1871 Franco-Prussian War? Then Obama goes to France. Did any of the Mainstream Media notice? If it had been Reagan, all hell would have broken out in the MSM.
“The Victory Column is a monumental structure located
in the middle of Berlin‘s Tiergarten, constructed between
1871 and 1873 to celebrate Germany‘s victory over France in the
1870/71 Franco-Prussian War. The column is 66 metres tall and is crowned by a bronze statue of the
goddess Victoria. Originally the column was placed directly in front of the Reichstag and was moved by the Nazi government in 1939
to its current location as part of their plans to extensively redevelop
the centre of Berlin. At the same time the column was heightened by about 7.5 metres.”
