Obama's Victory Column Considerably Thinner Than Promoted?

"200,000 . . . or 20,000? Obama's Crowd in Berlin" from World Politics Review Daily linked by Michelle Malkin reports that among the bands playing and beer swilling at the Victory Column in Berlin awaiting Barack Obama's speech, the throngs might have been not so awesome as first reported in the US and German media.

In fact, Obama may have begun his speech fashionably late, in hopes that more spectators would arrive to hear his speech - which wasn't living up to press expectations.
