You may be wondering what Barack Obama and David Hasselhoff have in common. Well, the Hoff is undoubtedly a better driver and lifeguard, but it might be a draw when it comes to singing.

Anyhow, they’re both huge in Germany, and they each have made dubious contributions to the U.S.

Today, Obama drew cheers during his field trip to Germany where he pronounced, “‘I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before. Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen — a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.”

But while he takes that stance in front of the Germans, Barack Obama is strictly a candidate when it comes to dealing with his fellow Americans.

According to Breitbart.com

Sen. Barack Obama scrapped plans to visit wounded members of the armed forces in Germany as part of his overseas trip, a decision his spokesman said was made because the Democratic presidential candidate thought it would be inappropriate on a campaign-funded journey.

The spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said Thursday that Obama made his decision out of respect for the servicemen and women.

Inappropriate to squeeze time in his tour to visit wounded troops?

Barack Obama thinks it’s inappropriate to visit the wounded armed forces out of respect for them?

I would hope “a proud citizen of the United States” would want to visit our troops.

Disgusting. Offensive. Expected.
