Barack Skips Visit with Injured Troops

An ironic juxtaposition of posts.

We learn via Der Spiegel, blogging on Barack's speech, that:

++ Obama Says He Loves America ++
Who knew?

Coincidentally, or perhaps contradictorily, we learn from Ed Morrissey at Hot Air (via Pundit Review), that Der Spiegel is reporting that Barack, running tight on time in Germany, canceled his Friday visit with injured American soldiers.

++ Visit to US Military Bases Cancelled ++

1:42 p.m.: SPIEGEL ONLINE has learned that Obama has cancelled a planned short visit to the Rammstein and Landstuhl US military bases in the southwest German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. The visits were planned for Friday. "Barack Obama will not be coming to us," a spokesperson for the US military hospital in Landstuhl announced. "I don't know why." Shortly before the same spokeswoman had announced a planned visit by Obama.
Barack did, however, have time to pop over to the Ritz Carlton for a workout last night according to reports from Berlin.
