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.
How exciting can it bee to watch Mr. TOTUS Reader read from TOTUS when we’ve all seen the act day after day for the last ~4.5 years?
