Obama is up to his usual nonsensical antics again. He has managed to once again show his apparent lack of history knowledge and lack of political experience.
"After receiving a hailstorm of criticism for considering Brandenburg Gate for a public speech, as well as official German dissuasion, Barack Obama moved the venue to the Siegessäule monument."
History lesson for the reader. The Siegessäule monument is a large column chosen by none other than Hitler himself as a symbol of Hitler's militaristic domination over Austria, Belgium, and France. Obama is set to give a speech on peace at this site. What's worse is that this is a campaign speech. Why is Obama giving a campaign speech overseas? To germans? At a monument symbolizing everything but peace?

He's an international candidate. He's the President who can get the rest of the world to start liking us again. I know that you neo-cons don't care about being liked by Europeans but, we need their support in any number of foreign policy ways. Kennedy gave pre-election speeches overseas, why not Obama?
Ok, then why give the speech in front of a symbol of war, oppression, and overall evil? And the rest of the world will not be electing him, Americans will.
I think he should give his speech in front of a McDonald's restaurant. Surely there is one in Germany.
