What’s on McCain’s schedule today that attempts to compete with Obama’s mega-headline-getting speech in Berlin?

He’s apparently meeting with business leaders in German Village, a suburb of Columbus, Ohio, at some German restaurant:

Know what he SHOULDA done?

Come to Chattanooga, Tennessee, where one of Germany’s biggest companies has just announced it’s setting up shop!

Think of it! He could have said “My friends, while my opponent is over in Germany making I-Love-Europe platitudes to adoring crowds, I’m here in the heart of America where German industry just made a decision to invest time & money in something that creates thousands of jobs & improves the economy, which by the way is what voters are telling me is their #1 issue this election.”

(*sigh*)

Sometimes I think I’m in the wrong business.

UPDATE: Furthering my point.. here’s Obama yesterday…

..& here’s McCain yesterday:

“FUDGE HAUS?” Come. On.

Also in the running for worst backdrop of the week to talk to the media: the cheese aisle:

“Mac & cheese?” Uh-uh. Shoulda come to the Scenic City, Senator.
