From JOM:Question for legal beagles here:
Germany paid for part of this trip/sermon/campaign rally. Obama has sent out a fund raising letter talking about his speech. Is it legal for him to split the cost of a campaign visit with a foreign government? |

Really good question, Neo. How does the Obama campaign ’stage’ this event for the video footage used in fundraising, then pass the bill to the German government. Maybe US campaign law was violated? Foreign contributions are expressly forbidden to US campaigns, unless of course you are Bill Clinton.
I think a FEC challenge is in order. |

This doesn’t bother me. I honestly believe that the spectacle of a nominee holding a political rally on foreign soil (while snubbing our injured troops natch) will hurt him in the long run.
I firmly believe that by the time the election comes around, the adults will take over from the star-dazzled mushminds currently driving the vehicle.

The only thing missing fom this spectacle was the thunderous "Sieg Heil" echoing down the alleyways of Berlin. |
