McCain really needs to think things through before he starts talking.

The story is here:

McCain questions speech, forgets Canada

So McCain is complaining about Obama giving a speech in Berlin. Well, okay, McCain gave a speech in Canada so why was that okay is the story line. And it isn't a bad question except that when it comes down to it, hypocrisy from McCain isn't exactly news.

But there is another story line as well. While Obama was giving a speech to an estimated 200,000 people in Berlin, McCain countered by having lunch at someplace called the "Sausage Haus" in Columbus, Ohio. But let's do some math here. Obama spoke to 200,000 people in Berlin. What percentage of them were from the U.S.? You know, tourists, business travelers, soldiers on leave, expats living in Berlin. Maybe 1%? Maybe 0.5%? Or 5%? Let's be conservative, because that is so much fun and say 0.5%. If I'm doing my sums correctly that would be about 1000 people from the US in that crowd. And it it were 5% it would be 10,000 people from the US in the crowd. How big is that "Sausage Haus"?
