If you read the actual Times (UK) article:

Barack Obama to walk in footsteps of uncle who helped free Buchenwald

[..] Thomas Steg, spokesman for the German Government, said that Mr Obama might visit “historical places that in the widest sense are related to the different aspects of World War Two — destruction and rebuilding, extermination and the breakdown of civilisation”, as well as places which have “biographical references” for his family.

[…]But he will be aware of the sensibilities of his German hosts before the D-Day commemoration and by travelling to Dresden — a city destroyed by ferocious Allied bombing in February 1945 — Mr Obama will also acknowledge how Germany suffered during the Second World War.[…]

Discussing how Germans too suffered in WWII seems quite appropriate. I know from living in Japan that one of their bug-a-boos is how their own country suffered in WWII (this being used as an argument about how foolish it was for their country to have attacked the West.) Germans have a more thoughtful outlook on WWII, I believe, and understand that their predecessors are directly responsible for great suffering in WWII and thus don’t hold the grudges the Japanese do.

In other words, I fail to see what the outrage really is about, except that Gatewaypundit, as usual, needs something about which to ventilate.
