Bush administration spiked Obama's Brandeburg appearance? (Updated)

Is the Bush administration behind the action to spike the Obama Brandenburg appearance?

Later: An interesting Politico piece argues that the German row is about opposition politics there.

So, the opposition leaks that Merkel is blocking Obama at the behest of the Bush administration, and the Merkel camp says that the opposition are just playing politics with Obama?

(What does it say about Obama that the German opposition is trying to gain from Obama's support there?)

Per Der Spiegel, the date is already set, July 24.

  • I wanted to share this (though you probably already have seen this) but I didn't know where to put it. This seems appropriate enough...

  • I put it up under political bits.

    By the way, how Hagel has conducted himself is the way Lieberman should be conducting himself. No question where he stands, but not a traitor to his party.
