Wasting his contributors’ money

Patrick Ruffini has a post about the Obama campaign printing and distributing German-language flyers aimed at attracting Germans to an Obama rally...in Germany.

This is pretty extraordinary. A candidate for the American Presidency is using flyers printed in German to turn people out for his campaign rally in Berlin on Thursday. This flyer can be found on a bilingual page on BarackObama.com advertising the event

Campaign funds spent rallying citizens of a foreign country. Because, why? Because they think seeing a big crowd in Germany will convince U.S. voters that, oh yeah, Obama's our guy?

Or, maybe, just because the Obamessiah needs a huge adoring crowd.
