Are you so sure? Meeting with people in private is not the same as giving a speech in public. After all, police, firefighters/paramedics, cleanup crews - all sorts of public services will be used for this event. Presumably those public services will be paid for by German taxpayer dollars. City costs for an event of this size could be in the hundreds of thousands of euros. And the Mayor of Berlin has specifically said he is doing it to push the campaign of Barack Obama. Are we to understand that public officials in other countries are free to provide material contributions to the campaigns of our candidates? Is that really what you are suggesting?
This is not a partisan issue. I would call out John McCain or any other politician who tried to do the same thing. On Mon, Jul 21, 2008 at 11:16 AM, G Money wrote: > It is?
