"Out of courtesy to Merkel, Obama did not speak at the Brandenburg gate although the crowd did stretch to the gate."

I saw that earlier when you posted it. The amusing thing is that Merkel herself had few compunctions about using foreign travel to boost her campaigns.

If the current Chancellor was a Social Democrat, Obama would have been speaking at the Brandenburg Gate. This turned into a brouhaha between the S. Dems, the mayor of Berlin being one of them, and the righties, Merkel and the Christian Dems. My German friends were laughing about it.
