Hitler was stunned. But, in a bitter twist of irony, he was willing to wave and congratulate Jesse Owens, while US President Roosevelt wouldn’t even host him at the White House for fear of political implications. Jesse Owens later reflected that he felt better treated in Nazi germany than he did in the United States.

Do these morons take a 2nd pass at what they write at all?
