Obama Spent almost 3/4 MILLION for his speech in Germany.......... to folks that can't even VOTE for him!!!!!!!!!!!!

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama paid a German company nearly $700,000 for staging, sound and lighting services at a time he delivered a speech this summer in which he declared himself a “citizen” of both the U.S. and the world…
The German company, whose Web page says it specializes in theater and event management and advertises the Obama speech with numerous pictures on its marketing pages, is listed as a disbursement recipient on Mr. Obama’s most recent campaign expenditures report, filed Thursday with the Federal Election Commission.
The company was paid $667,082 by the Obama campaign in three separate disbursements in July and August, according to the FEC records. The campaign also spent another $9,018 to Bero Berlin - Eurolimousine, the records show…
For hours before Mr. Obama arrived, attendees listened to live reggae, drank beer and munched on bratwurst and steak sandwiches. Many in the crowd sported black and white Obama T-shirts with the slogan, “I want you to stop climate change.”

Ah, the double standard of the right. It's against FEC rules to buy clothing with campaign money. That's a simple fact, cut and dried. It doesn't matter if she wears them or not. If they ever leave the plane or what will be done with them after the campaign. It's still against FEC rules to buy clothing for candidates with campaign cash. :D

You sure campaign funds were used?

Well from what I've read it appears they set her up with the duds.

They've made various excuses: "she needed clothes" "we're going to donate them to charity", etc, but no one in the McCain camp has denied spending $150,000 on the clothes for Sarah Palin or said it wasn't campaign funds.

Not that you're interested in the truth or anything, but it wasn't the McCain campaign that bought the clothes.

McCain never spent any money on Palins clothes!

Ty fff as far as me providing a link I am not the one spouting garbage.,
Now that begs the question did the FEC provide the funds. Or was it the RNP???
Or are you once again trying to shift fact and make another spin around the park on your broom hoping to get picked up?
