Tommy_Carcetti
(43,198 posts)He basically tagged on "and will never forget" probably because someone told him how ridiculously inappropriate it would be to not even pay lip service to the reason for the place where he's visiting.
Not only are his remarks inappropriately perfunctory, but the way he writes diagonally across the page just exudes solemnity, doesn't it.

Once again, for #45, it's all about him. And with Obama, after a personal thanks, shifts his voice to be inclusive, with the plural "we."
Missing President Obama badly!

(26,060 posts)and I have no idea how he can write that note after seeing it. By the time I got through it, I was a wreck - Pres Obama looks to have actually understood what it was about and took in all the pain and horror. The very last thing you see is the exhibit for the children - a darkened round room with points of light and the names of children and their ages read - we'll never know how many were killed but I was told it's 1200 names read in a loop. How can you see that, take it in and write such a note? He's an embarrassment.

So I'm sure Drumpf feels the holocaust memorial is "so amazing".

Meanwhile our last real president writes an eloquent note.
Oh I miss him so much. Remember when we had a president with more than a double digit IQ?

It's heartbreaking that many in this country are too ignorant to be embarrassed by this empty, narcissistic piece of excrement holding the highest office.
