Obama Uses Berlin Speech to Raise Campaign Cash, says Republican National Committee

WASHINGTON, July 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by the Republican National Committee:

    ABC News' Jake Tapper reports:

         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...

         This is certainly going to be used as ammunition for those critics
         who wondered about the true purpose of this "non political" trip.
