BERLIN (AP) — Barack Obama received a rock-star welcome in Berlin as he appeared at a public debate Thursday with Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom he praised as one of his "favorite partners" during his presidency.

...

At the beginning of their discussion, Obama praised Merkel to the excited cheers of a crowd of young Protestants, who had traveled from all over Germany and beyond to attend the religious gathering.

"Not only do I love this city, but one of my favorite partners throughout my presidency is sitting next to me," Obama said with a big smile. Merkel smiled right back at him.

Barky will be an even bigger hit in his favorite part of the city, the bath houses.

A debate? Debate consists of more that having to explain how awesomely awesome your awesomeness against someone who says you are even more awesomely awesome. The only debate was who would be able to sniff his chair first after he left.

What the euros figured out today at the initial speeches in Brussels, is that Obama has no power, no money, and no intention to do anything but sponge off the fools.

Trump hit is out of the park.

Those no-go zones taking over European cities are all the rage. By rage I mean roofing nails and high explosives vests for all kinda fun.

This doesn’t show much class on Merkel’s part, but then who ever said she had any. Here’s a woman that would rather focus on potential terrorist’s needs than the needs/safety of her own people.

Obama is there to tweak Trump. She knows it, so she meets with him anyway, then smiles when photos are taken. Two classless people acting out, that’s all this amounts to.

Obama? A rock fart maybe...

Europeans are mostly irredeemable socialist sheep. Their elites and mainstream media are even more entrenched than America’s

It’s why the continued existence of NATO is a bad thing. It supports their continued leftist statist social-engineering destruction

Merkel was equally as dumpy for the NATO ceremony today; she stood out like a sore thumb.

And then, Trump shows up and Merkel shares the stage with a real leader and visibly wilts - Priceless!

sounds like he's trying to effect the outcome of the election in Germany.

In what seems to be the next breath, Angela Merkel pointedly distanced herself from President Trump declaring that Germany would only pay its 2% defense contribution according to NATO treaty by counting the soft costs of good works etc and then only by 2024.

Obviously, Merkel is running against Donald Trump for reelection and she will likely succeed because of the entrenched almost unanimous dislike of Trump in Germany, as irrational as that is. There is no reasonable alternative to Merkel with a chance to win.

It reminds me a little bit of Hillary's election campaign in which she ran against Donald Trump without any positive vision of her own. In that sense, Merkel can run against Donald Trump and thereby sidestep her immigration problem.

It is infuriating here to see the hero worship of Barack Obama, it is as undeserved as the animosity toward Trump.

So bizarre for Germany to celebrate 500 yr anniversary of the Protestant Reformation while all Christianity is collapsing in Germany and across Western Europe. They may as well hold a wake for Christianity there, not a celebration.

I’m sure that Merkel and Obozo would prefer to “celebrate” the Islamo-fascist invasion of the West, anyway. They sure have helped that along....
