So why is he speaking in Germany? He ought to be speaking in the US if
he wants to

>From the article:

===
But the decision to approve the Brandenburg Gate speech lies with
local Berlin authorities, and yesterday the city's leftwing mayor
Klaus Wowereit dropped all diplomatic pretence.

"The mayor would be delighted to have Mr Obama take advantage of
speaking at the Brandenburg Gate to spread his message," said the
mayor's spokesman.
===

I read this as an illegal campaign contribution. The Mayor of Berlin
is granting Obama a speaking engagement for the stated purpose of
pushing his campaign for President. Obama needs to be careful he
doesn't run afoul of election rules.
