OBAMA IN DEUTSCHLAND


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.

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.
O O O O O O OH: HOW SMART OBAMA IS!

BTW (2): THE NYTIMES CHOSE NOT TO RUN THE IHT ARTICLE/ANGLE. GEE: I WONDER WHY?
