It will probably come as no surprise that Barack Obama is more interested in bar-hopping in Berlin than meeting with brave American war heroes.

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.

So he blames it on being a campaign trip… But in order to have it both ways, he makes it clear in his speech that he’s not there as a candidate…

“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,”

You could almost set your watch by this guy’s inconsistencies…

And what’s he going to do, now that he’s cleared his schedule of the annoying visit with wounded soldiers? A night on the town, of course.

Obama noted that in a break from his whirlwind schedule, “we’ve got some down time tonight. What are you guys gonna do in Berlin? Huh? Huh? You guys got any big. plans? …I’ve never been to Berlin, so…I would love to tour around a little bit.”

Ah, the priorities of a Democrat.

1. According to an MSNBC report, the sticking point was that he couldn’t bring campaign officials. I suppose once he realized he couldn’t turn it into a campaign event he dismissed it….strange, since it’s allegedly his favorite thing to do.

2. If he wants to be the Commander in Chief, he should have gone. Period.
