A trip by Obama to the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany (while not on the published schedule) was cancelled because Obama decided "it would be inappropriate to make a stop at a U.S. military facility [where the wounded are recovering] as part of a trip funded by the campaign."
Two points...weren't we told that the speech in Germany was not a campaign speech? and ...did he get word that the troops wounded in Iraq would not be the most welcoming audience to meet after his "lack of support" (euphemism) for their efforts?
Have to give him credit for a wise decision!!
