Comparing Photos Of Obama In Berlin (09-13) Is Intellectually Dishonest In The Extreme

This year, the event was for a limited number of attendees who sat during his speech.

In the previous appearance, it was not limited to those with invitations and everyone stood.

Posted below are two photos. The first shows the appearance this year. The second is from Breitbart's site where they are trying to pretend that Obama should be embarrassed.

Don't let the far-right fool you into thinking that somehow the crowd was drastically smaller because so many Germans now dislike Obama.

Comparing the two events is apples to oranges. There is no point to be made.

What a dreadful preoccupation they have chosen. The common theme I see is obsessiveness. Would have to be obsessive to plot what they are doing.

When people in Europe love him they say its because he's a socialist or who cares what they think but then they try to twist things to show they don't like him when they can.

Ridiculous aren't they?
