NYTIMES:
According to the Obama campaign’s announcement, the senator will “give a major speech on the historic U.S.-German partnership, and the need to strengthen Transatlantic relations to meet 21st century challenges.”ER, UM... SOMEBODY TELL OBAMA THAT SCHROEDER IS NO LONGER PM OF GERMANY, THAT MERKEL IS - AND SHE'S A CONSERVATIVE WHO SUPPORTS BUSH.
IOW: RELATIONS BETWEEN GERMANY AND THE USA ARE FINE.
OBAMA: STFU.
BTW: HE'S SPEAKING AT A PRUSSIA MEMORIAL TO MILITARISM - ONE REDESIGNED BY HITLER.
IHT:
The decision by Senator Barack Obama to speak at a landmark monument in Berlin this Thursday has opened up yet another controversy, with conservative and opposition politicians saying the site recalls Germany's Nazi past and Prussia's militaristic tradition.O O O O O O OH: HOW SMART OBAMA IS!
Obama is planning to address what organizers expect will be huge crowds at the Siegessäule, or Victory Column, which is located in the center of a long and busy intersection that straddles the lush, public Tiergarten gardens and stretches up to the Brandenburg Gate.
BTW (2): THE NYTIMES CHOSE NOT TO RUN THE IHT ARTICLE/ANGLE. GEE: I WONDER WHY?
