What an embarrassment to our fallen heroes

[relictele]

He makes Clinton look like Churchill.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Barack Mugabe Obama can kiss a mangy dog's behind. My apologies to all mangy dogs.

[gidget7]

IDIOT! Does he suggest, even for a second, that today's Germany would have supported Hitler? That they are in any way proud of that history?
How insulting to them, and even more so to our fathers, uncles, grandfathers who saved Europe!

[Uncle Hal]

This guy is such a embarrassment. When I saw the troops in Iraq embracing him I just about puked.

[Vaquero]

this is scrappleface right???

right??

couldnt he have just walked on the beach, found some strategically placed rocks to construct the moon and star islam symbol or something??

Not to mention that Merkel just blew off (rightfully so) his global stimulus, so we can hardly gain anything ( the socialists) by appeasing the capitalist Germany.

[Riley]

He wants to avoid offending Germany. Wake me up when he decides to stop offending Americans.

Good grief.

Maybe it’s better this way, we can avoid another contrived photo op like the detestable Bill Clinton’s when he was arranging rocks on the beach.

Normandy is one of the most moving places on earth and a great tribute to the US soldiers who died there. It is impossible to not be moved to tears when one looks at the graves.
Obama has just given us another example of how little he respects this country and the people who had given so much to make it an exceptional place.
At least he will not violate the sacred ground in which so many brave souls are buried.

[goodnesswins]

Wish he’d STAY OUT of the USA so he would STOP OFFENDING US

[VR-21]

Frankly, Obama’s not worthy to walk among those graves. It sickened me to watch Clinton do it, and Obama’s worse.

[mom-7]

I do not have words to describe what I think of this piece of whatever.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Ohama will go down in history as the worst President we have ever had. He’s so concerned with what the Germans think of him. How about this, Germany, you want him, you can have him..free of charge

[Wyatt's Torch]

I would have bet $1 million that this was an article from The Onion.....I am literally speechless at how colossally stupid this is...

[silentreignofheroes]

Just alittle insight as to whose side Hussein would have been on back then.

If this is real.

[philly-d-kidder]

does he realize he is Commander and chief?? of all Dead and accounted for!!

[pissant]

I’d rather he not desecrate the site.

[GoldenPup]

By that logic, Bam would nix a trip to Saratoga in upper New York State for fear of insulting the British. What a weak-kneed disgrace!!! IDIOT!!!

[ml/nj]

Which Germans was he worried about offending?

ML/NJ

[KoRn]

Disgraceful!
