"Dude, what are you racist against Germans? Obama wasn’t on Nazi soil, he was on German soil. Big difference between SS Nazis and the common German man drafted to fight."

I was using a bit of hyperbole. But to criticize the USA while in Germany after the USA trounced the Nazis is just a very bad thing to do.

The tower where obama spoke was Hitlers favorite monument..

And his advance team already made one whopping gaffe in Berlin. Dissuaded from having him speak in front of the Brandenburg Gate, Obama’s staff picked a nearby alternate site: the Victory Column. Oops: The victories that commemorates are Prussia’s successful invasions of Denmark, Austria and France. It’s no symbol of European unity - and the French and Brits were already miffed that Obama gave precedence to the Germans on this trip.

Worse, the monument was a favorite of Hitler’s - incorporated into his plans to rebuild Berlin according to the vision of Nazi architect Albert Speer. Hitler ordered the column moved to its present location.

I hear what you’re saying and agree. It just gets old hearing people constantly slamming down on Germans and here it is, 2008.
