Obama in Berlin: "We can't hide behind a wall"

In his first speech in Europe since he left office, former President Obama sounded a familiar theme from his presidency -- the need to embrace globalization -- and there seemed to be a veiled slap at his successor in his remarks.
" [If] there is bad governance, if there is war or if there is poverty, in this new world that we live in we can't isolate ourselves. We can't hide behind a wall," he said in Berlin, at a panel on democracy with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. We need "to recognize what happens on the other side of the world or in these other countries that it has an impact on us," Obama said.
He also reflected on his tenure, tellling Berliners that health care reform and getting 20 million people insured who hadn't been before the ACA was one of his proudest achievements.
"Certainly I have regrets that we weren't able to get everyone healthcare, and obviously some of the progress that we made is now imperiled because there is still a significant debate taking place in the United States," he said.

just a reminder that he had one build at his new D.C. house

Hussein is telling all the future Democrats to bum rush the border to pay us all back for white colonialism like his pappy in Kenya despised.

The difference between the Berlin Wall and a wall between us and Mexico would be parallel to the difference between keeping someone locked inside your house and not letting them out and locking your house to keep those who you don't want to come in from coming in. Obama's a f*cking idiot though.

Obama just needs to be a good boy and go away.

So we can't isolate or protect ourselves from the third world. We have to recognize that the third world has an impact on us. Ok. After we recognize that, are we supposed to just open our borders to whoever wants to come?

Apparently so.

This just blew my mind. I was 100% sure that's what we were going to do. Build a wall and then Mexico couldn't see us anymore.
Back to the drawing board I guess. What can we hide behind? Michelle's giant head and arse?

I agree with obama, we shouldn't hide behind our wall
we should have men with guns behind it in case any illegals try to climb over

He is more than welcome to crawl in a hole and not be heard again

Every single politician and celebrity talking about how walls are bad live their entire lives behind walls, fences, and gates.
