Talk about nonsense.

Look, there is a clear message to honoring soldiers (in a
cemetery that includes SS) and originally excluding a visit
to any of the former death camps.  Esp. so close to the 40th
anniversary of the liberation of Dachau.

The president's "toughening it out" is particularly disheartening.
A majority of congress has asked him not to go and gone so far
as to ask the German chancellor to rescind the invitation.
Did this majority simply want to embarass the president?
The president's misguided notion of manhood as "staying to 
your guns" is disheartening.
