Potemkin and the German Kathrinka

Following a private invitation by A. Merkel, Mr Bush visits her constituency "Town of Stralsund – District North Western-Pomerania – District Rugen". Although not mandatory, chancellor Merkel holds a directly elected seat in the German parliament, the Bundestag: she has been elected by a 41 % majority of voters which equals 29 % of the constituency's electorate.

That a US-politician does not only know by eyesight big cities in the former American occupied zone, but also a more rural region of former GDR, is not to denounce.
