Fox News makes lemons out of lemonade (at 1:20 in the video), pointing out that there are monuments in Germany associated with Hitler! The whole video is hilarious, of course: UPDATE: The push to associate Obama with Hitler has turned even weirder, if not downright sinister. On Glenn Beck’s CNN show, guest Ben Stein said […]

Even though she won’t meet Obama until Thursday morning, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in an interview “I would say that he is well-equipped — physically, mentally and politically.” In 2006, Merkel was famously given a quick backrub by President Bush, which was caught on camera.
