Obama Trip Is/Isn't/Is/Isn't Political

So there isn't any need to try and decide what Obama means or if he really means it since he will change it later. Hat tip Hot Air.

After insisting that his trip abroad was not political campaigning, he then explained his decision to not visit our troops at Ramstein and Landstuhl by saying it wouldn't be appropriate to do that while campaigning. Then he gave his "non political" speech to the people of Berlin. And, hoo boy, it turned out to be the perfect opportunity for Obama to change his mind on the purpose of the trip once again:

Shortly after 6 pm Central time — just a few hours after Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, gave his speech in Berlin, which his campaign insisted was not political — his campaign manager, David Plouffe, sent out a fundraising solicitation using the speech to raise campaign cash.

“As you may have heard, Barack has been in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia this week,” reads the email, with a big red “DONATE” sign. “Today, he spoke in Berlin, Germany. In a city where a wall once divided the free from the oppressed, he talked about tearing down the walls that divide all peoples so we can address our common problems — the threats of terrorism and nuclear weapons, global warming and genocide, AIDS and poverty. Watch Barack’s historic speech and share it with your friends.”

Oh well, who needs integrity and honesty when you've got change on your side? His ideas are laughable, only beaten by the tragedy that are the millions of wild-eyed fans (yes, fans) that flock to him like bees to honey. With any luck his lies will beat him to the election.
