I'm sorry for this family's loss, but what the fuck is Obama doing promising shit like this to them? This family should talk to their own government. The Swedish government. It's not our problem. We have more important matters to discuss than the fate of someone from 68 years ago. :roll: Quit pfaffing about Obama!!

US President Barack Obama will ask Moscow what happened to Swedish Holocaust hero Raoul Wallenberg after he was taken into Soviet custody and disappeared in 1945, Wallenberg's family told Swedish media.

Wallenberg was posted as a Swedish diplomat to Nazi-occupied Budapest in July 1944 and rescued tens of thousands of Jews by issuing them protective passports in the final months of the Holocaust.

He went missing after his arrest by Soviet forces in Hungary on January 17, 1945.

Obama, who met with Wallenberg's relatives during a visit to Stockholm on Wednesday, vowed to raise the issue with Russia on the sidelines of a G20 meeting in Saint Petersburg on Thursday and Friday, Wallenberg's 92-year-old half-sister Nina Lagergren told Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet.

Well considering he is trying to talk the world into supporting a war that has no good side to it..maybe he thinks that this will make himself look better? Dunno...too damn disappointed in this administration to think about it. But I agree that there are WAY more *syrias* (see how I did that) issues that need to be dealt with than something which seems like a propaganda move to me.
