Obama in Dresden!

I've just heard from one of my friends back in Dresden, that Mr. Obama himself will visit the city in the beginning of June, apparently he wants to visit one of the considerations camps close by, where some of his relatives were imprisoned during the war. When I think of that scenario, Dresden and the president of the United States, I can just see a lot of Police men and security forces blocking the city completely, and every citezent will have to go on leave and leave for a week. A worse case scenario would have been if it was the old President who wanted to visit, and I just can't imagine in my wildest fantasy how that would have developed.
But let's see, Obama is another person than the old one and maybe he has some surprises hidden in his sleve, and maybe my friends will be able to drink a beer with him in Schnurz or Trotzdem, and maybe he'll even kick the ball with them in Alaunpark on a Sunday afternoon.
I hope they will have a traktor-trotzdem shirt ready for him, just in case!
