“Looks like the Germans figured out why Obama won’t allow anyone to bring anything into his big show,” Beethovenqueen writes.
The Bild headline reads “Barack Obama bans protest signs in Berlin.”
The article then goes on to say:
Obamas Organisatoren wollen nichts dem Zufall überlassen. Auf Handzetteln, die seit Montag für die Rede im Berliner Bezirk Tiergarten ausgeteilt werden, heißt es: „Plakate oder Transparente sind nicht gestattet.“
Aus Sicherheitsgründen sollen die Besucher auch keine Taschen und Rucksäcke mitnehmen dürfen.
Translation:
Obama’s organization is leaving nothing to chance. As of Monday flyers are being passed out near Berlin’s Zoo that read “Posters & banners not allowed.” For security reasons visitors should not take purses or backpacks.
The latter will put off Germans. How are people supposed to stand out there for hours with no water and no worldly possessions? Or is someone making a killing on selling Kool Aid? Anyway, the headline is a hopeful sign that at least some of the German press see through Obama’s “security demands”.
Update #1: Sen. Obama’s website clearly states: “For security reasons, do not bring bags. Please limit personal belongings. No signs or banners permitted.”
Note that the location posted on Sen. Obama’s website is stated as the Berlin Tiergarten (the zoo), with the Siegessaulle (Victory Column) in finer print. One thing we can count on is the Obama campaign’s willingness to distract and distort reality.
Other German newspapers—Zeit Online, Berliner Zeitung—back up the Bild’s story. Word came from the Obama campaign.
Update #2: Both Wonkette and Ben Smith at The Politico got the memo.
Update #3: Aaron Klein at World Net Daily picked up Beethovenqueen’s post. You can read about it, with link back, here.
That’s spooky. Good catch
Is this Obama nightmare ever going to end. I am so sick of this guy.

HEY! That’s an unfair comparison. The Democrats FORMERLY were represented as Red states. The MSM decided in unison to change the color of Democrat victories to Blue and SUDDENLY decided in unison to call states “Red” or “Blue” for “Democrat” or “Republican”.
It’s not like Dean’s Democrats REALLY are “Reds”. No. Nothing like it at ALL. < /s >
“Rally?
Has anyone told Obama that Germany is NOT one of the “57 states” and her citizens cannot vote? “
ditto !!;-) You beat me too it !!
I don’t think this is going to work....he can’t control thousands of people.
AH! But they can contribute $ Billions! Illegally of course but that doesn’t bother the Great Jerk Messiah! Illegal, as a word, doesn’t exist in the Jerk’s vocabulary!
I understand now why Obomba wanted to give his nomination speech in a stadium.
Oh really? Let’s wait and see...
Perhaps the German Government should reopen the Fuehrer Bunker and invite Barry to try it on for size?
Come on Mom....he can’t.
Striking similarity.
LOL!
This is the same location they had the Live Aid concert. The Germans are just stage props for Obama’s campaign. You can expect that we will see these images over and over again in his campaign commercials showing how loved Obama is in Europe.
