McCain To Be In German Restaurant While Obama Gives Berlin Speech
By Greg Sargent – July 24, 2008
Not sure what to make of this. While Obama gives his historic speech in Berlin today, John McCain will be lunching in a German restaurant in Ohio.
Farah Hice, a hostess at Schmidt’s Restaurant and Sausage Haus in Columbus, just confirmed to me by phone that McCain just walked into the restaurant and is staying for lunch.

Old people take the tour bus to Schmidt’s, every once in a while a driver forgets one and you’ll find them wandering around eating expensive landscaping in GV.
MMmmmm cream puffs
His bus interefered with my morning commute/parking :evil:
McCain has good taste.
Still not voting for him though.
Ich bin ein cream puff eater
I am never going to forgive Schmidts for discontinuing the butterscotch cream puff.
McCain and Schmidts are on Talking Points Memo

“And here he is doing a media availability in front of a big sign that says ‘Fudge Haus’ which he improbably refers to as the ‘Sausage Haus’ …”
They do catch themselves and figure out that ‘Sausage Haus’ is the restaurant.
Good thing the sign didn’t say “Sausage accomplished”
seen on fark:
Can McCain possibly get more lame…. a visit to Schmidts to “counter” Obama’s visit to Germany? Did you see the crowds that Obama drew? Huge.
Probably more media than voters at Schmidts.
On the bright side for McCain, I hear Willard Scott is going to wish him happy birthday on the Today Show. :wink:

Agreed. And that was a calculated campaign move. I can’t even think of a more stupid, literal counter message.
Going to Germany is for Elitists!
Eating German Food in Columbus is for true Patriots!

Cliques of elitists.

Will McCain have the Bahama Mama?

In Columbus for tonight’s Lance Armstrong Livestrong Summit on cancer at Ohio State University, McCain had lunch in German Village with five Ohio business owners at the venerable Schmidt’s Sausage Haus, operated since 1886 by five generations of the Schmidt family.
Asked if his choice of dining places was chosen purposely to contrast with Obama’s vaunted address in Berlin, McCain replied, “I’d love to give a speech in Germany, a political speech, a speech that maybe the German people would be interested in, but I’d much prefer to do it as president of the United States, rather than as a candidate for the office of the presidency.â€
McCain had planned to spend part of today at an oil platform off the shore of Louisiana to promote his plan for off-shore oil drilling, but Hurricane Dolly got in the way.
“We’ve got to get a cream puff,†McCain said. Schmidt’s is famous for its cream puffs and “ Bahama Mama†sausages.
