Did I hear it right? 200,000 people showed up to hear Obama in Germany?

WOW!!

1. Oh hell yeah!! I get a feeling that the msm is underestimating that number

cuz' they can't bring themselves to believe that Barack is that damn good.

2. US park services estimate the crowd was 2000.

:sarcasm: based on how anti-war marches were always under reported.

3. By all reliable estimates, yes. The crowd stretched from the pillar

all the way to the Brandenburg Gate...

[slor]

4. That does not even include the large crowds...

that could not get to the area where he spoke, that lined the streets, just to see his motorcade, as was mentioned on msnbc.

5. Obama said to Brian Williams that he was told the area could hold ½ million

The 200k figure was from a single police spokesman and all the news agencies are going with it. I would guess it was somewhat higher.
