Merkel warns Obama not to use landmark for 'electioneering' (Deborah Cole, 7/09/08, AFP)

"It is unusual to do electioneering abroad," spokesman Thomas Steg told reporters.

Seriously, what's he going to Germany for? To see if things have settled down, withdraw the last troops, and claim victory for WW2? Or is it another lame attempt to show big crowds, while he preaches nonsense and gibberish to an adoring left? Look he's gone global - GLOBAMA!!!
