Jobless Soetoro horns in on Donald Trump's foreign trip
[Wash Times] Former President Barack Obama will leap back onto the world stage Thursday to join German Chancellor Angela Merkel at a forum at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

The event titled "Being Involved in Democracy: Taking on Responsibility Locally and Globally" puts Mr. Obama in the spotlight in Europe at the same time as President Trump, underscoring the dramatic shift in the U.S. in the last four months.

The forum is sponsored by the Obama Foundation.

Mr. Trump is traveling around the Middle East and Europe, visiting Saudi Arabia, Israel and Vatican City in Rome in an effort unite three world religions. He also will attend a NATO meeting in Brussels and G-7 summit in Sicily.

The forum in Berlin returns Mr. Obama to the Brandenburg Gate, which has been the site of pivotal speeches throughout history, including President John F. Kennedy declaring "Ich bin ein Berliner" and President Ronald Reagan declaring "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall."

Mr. Obama wanted to give a speech at the Brandenburg Gate during the 2008 presidential race but was blocked by Ms. Merkel because she didn’t think he should give a campaign speech at the nonpartisan landmark. He instead spoke at the nearby Victoria Column.

#8 She really has no idea what looks good on her body, poor dear. She would do well to invest in the services of a stylist, even so bourgeois as using the free services provided by Macys and Nordstrom, rather than relying on the Talbot catalog and Good Housekeeping style advice.

#9 Makes my eyes sore. A picture of 1st lady Melanie T. juxtapositioned would ease the soreness.

Barry should have been out of a job about 8 years ago.

#10 Mooch is ridiculous. Even worse is her sycophantic media and hangers-on who keep trying to tell us this slovenly mess is a fashion plate
