How many were bribed to show up for this non-event?
My understanding is that of the 4,500 there, 2,000 were U.S. security, 1,000 German security/police and 1,000 in Obama’s entourage including foreign guests and German politicians.
500 people at the gate area is normal even without a special event. It’s likely that those 500 were not necessarily there to see Obama. I think the press were part of the 500.

They were bribed with Jelly donuts and pfannkuchens.
