Sorry to confuse you, Marvin, that wasn’t meant to be a direct quote. My error. What Obama actually said was that he decided it wouldn’t be respectful of him to visit; when that didn’t work, he said DoD wouldn’t let him visit. What NBC News and Landstuhl said was that when he was told he couldn’t bring his campaign staff in, he decided not to go. I merely inferred that he decided it wasn’t worth the trouble, and rather than visit US wounded he stayed to work out and be adored fawningly by a the hot reporter from Bild.
