Obama can’t bring himself to acknowledge US role in winning Cold War

Major Garrett interviewed President Obama after his little speech in Moscow. Even when he’s not apologizing he still downplays America’s standing in the world.

GARRETT: In your speech this morning, you said the Cold War reached its conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years. Mr. President, are the Russian sensitivities so fragile that you can’t say the Cold War was won? The West won it? And it was led by a combination of Democratic and Republican American presidents?

OBAMA: Well, listen, the — I think that you just cut out Lech Walesa and the Poles. You just cut out Havel and the Czechs. There were a whole bunch of people throughout Eastern Europe who showed enormous courage.

And I think that it is very important in this part of the world to acknowledge the degree to which people struggled for their own freedom. I’m very proud of the traditions of Democratic and Republican presidents to lift the Iron Curtain.

But, you know, we don’t have to diminish other people in order to recognize our role in that history.

He’s either a complete moron or so rabidly partisan that he refuses to admit the role Ronald Reagan played in ending the Cold War.  What an embarrassment!

Update: And he’s a hypocrite, too. Check out these headlines from Drudge.

    Hey! I fought that war. It was VERY REAL and while called “cold” people died all the time!

    Is it just me or is Obama merely the Junior Varsity run wild?

    If you keep repeating the “message” you are wanting to promote—even when it is blatantly false—if you say it often enough, loud enough, intense enough, and for long enough, you will ultimately end up believing it.

    “Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen” (2 Peter 3:17-18)
