I've read both sides of this story and it looks like a non story. It looks like:
1) Obama has visited wounded troops in Germany on previous trips
2) Obama was scheduled to visit the troops on this trip
2) Obama's staff was notified they couldn't accompany Obama on the trip and interpreted it as they were being waved off
3) Cindy McCain was denied a similar visit
So this doesn't look like an Obama snub nearly as much as just some bad planning.
