Oregon? The podium is gone, and so is his jacket. But still there is a big difference in Obama's trip compared to Rmoney for sure.

In Portland he didn't have on a jacket just a white shirt.
In Berlin he had on a jacket.
I have a copy of the photo up in the OP in my Oregon rally file.
Edited to add: Do an image search on Google for:
Obama Berlin
and then
Obama Oregon
and you'll see the difference.
