One of the funniest characters on Hogan's Heroes is Colonel Wilhelm Klink. He is putty in the hands of anyone who knows how to manipulate him. Mr. Obama reminds me of the times when Col. Klink tries to boast that he knows some well known personality within the German army until he finds out that they are in trouble with the Gestapo. He then quickly makes it known that he, "hardly knew the man." Obama's statements in February and March are directly opposite of what he is saying now about his relationships with the terrorist friend and his pastor friend. I guess it is appropriate for him to now say, "I hardly knew these men!"
