The Next Europe Trip: Will Obama Apologize for WWII?

According to reports in the German media, President Obama is planning a trip to Germany in the first week in June. The Germany trip would precede Obama’s June 6 participation in ceremonies in France marking the 65th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy.

That Obama would be planning a trip to Germany in connection with ceremonies marking the anniversary of the Normandy invasion is already rather odd. Following the turning point represented by the Battle of Stalingrad, the invasion was, after all, the crucial event that all but guaranteed Germany’s defeat in the Second World War.

But when one considers just where exactly in Germany Obama is headed, then the significance of the visit becomes more clear. There is some talk of Obama visiting the Buchenwald concentration camp outside Weimar, in whose liberation Obama’s great uncle Charlie Payne is famously supposed to have taken part. But the Buchenwald visit appears not to be the main event and indeed it can be presumed to have been included in discussions as something of an alibi.

The latest reports have Obama’s principal German destination to possibly be Dresden. According to an article in the local paper Die Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten, representatives of the German and American governments met in Dresden last Wednesday to discuss preparations for the visit. An American security detail is reported to have already scoped out sites in the city: presumably for a public speech.

The symbolic significance of a visit to Dresden by the American president — especially one undertaken in connection with a D-Day commemoration in France — may be missed by some Americans, but it is absolutely unmistakable for the German public...

He’ll apologize for not giving all of Europe to the Soviets after WWII.

I don’t remember being in trouble where you would be able to save my ass. Could you tell me when that happened? All I remember is you trying to legalize all kinds of drugs to support your habit. That’s odd to me as so many can’t even handle the legal drugs we have now.

A misunderstanding, sorry. I was talking to the Europeans, not to you. Mea culpa for the confusion.

BTW, I have never tried drugs of any type, but I have no objection to what anyone else tries to put in their body, so long as I am not harmed therefrom, and do not have to pay to cure the user of whatever mess his drug consumption caused him. Hope that's clear.

[Emile]

...and as long as no one else other than the user (through his own free choice) is harmed through his use.

There, I think I'm done now.

Anybody mention to this teleprompting moron that FDR , a DEMOCRAT and TRUMAN ,another DEMOCRAT ran the county under World War II, with a Democratic congress to boot! This stealth commie moslem is so damn radical that even FDR is getting thrown under the bus.
