7. I've been to Yad Vashem

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.
