US President Barack Obama will visit the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany on a trip to Europe in June, following in the wartime tracks of his great uncle, press reports said Wednesday.

A spokesman for the German government said that Obama "is possibly planning a longer trip to Europe this summer with several different stops," but that Berlin had received no confirmation yet.

The Bild and Thueringer Allgemeine Zeitung dailies reported that Obama would visit the eastern city of Dresden and Buchenwald.

I see he is trying to get ideas about what works.

[Puppage]

But he wouldn’t visit the graves of those who fought for their freedom? What a POS

[txroadkill]

is he looking for design ideas?

[Salvation]

He should also visit Auschwitz while he is there. Astrounding! In my opinion, everyone needs to visit it at least once in their lifetime.

Is he looking for inspiration perhaps?

Explains Obozo’s interest in upgraded rail lines ...

I had similar thoughts.

Germany never attacked the US!

The Mufti of Jerusalem visited the camps also, during World War II.

The Germans aren’t going to like this anymore than the plan he dropped of going to visit Normandy.

[SJackson]

Good news, he finally figured out which camp his uncle was in the vicinity of. File under who cares, even if he orders up a burger, medium well, no ketchup, spicy mustard. Wonder if he’ll ever stay home and work

[techcor]

Is he planning to apologize for America's part in WWII?

[sport]

He is just looking for pointers.

When I read this, a vision popped into my head. 50 years from now, will we be having tourists/heads of state/mourners visiting abortuaries in this country? Will we honor those lost in this holocuast? How will history portray the persons who operated and supported them? What about those of us who did all we could to stop it? Will their be a national monument to those killed? Will we have a museum of the horrific tools and methods of murder and torture?

What will 50 years bring in Americas Holocaust? Pray to end abortion........

He said something how this uncle was in a group that freed a concentration camp but come to find out it was a false story, as in he lied.

following in the wartime tracks of his great uncle, press reports said Wednesday.

He keeps dredging up his anglo family relatives but none of them have ever spoken to the public about anything for more than a minute.

The whole nation of Kenya is happy he is president and his American relatives aren't saying much.

No, but it declared war on the US December 10th 1941 (three days after Pearl Harbor).

As a Jew myself, I find the “Never Again” slogan ringing hollow with this Socialist and his minions. Jews that voted for this disaster will answer to their God at the end of their days. Zero’s plans to destroy Israel’s security and provide safe haven within the United States for Hamas plus sucking up to Iran is proof of what his intentions are, IMO. All Conservatives should take note of his plans for they will be next on their agenda.
