It's not easy landing an interview with Barack Obama, particularly since he seldom speaks to the foreign media. Leading German public broadcaster ARD and DER SPIEGEL decided to team up and request a joint interview with the American president on the occasion of his final visit to Berlin this week. The following is a longer version of the interview ARD broadcast in primetime on Thursday evening. The English-language video from that broadcast is embedded in this article.

The “division” of which he speaks is SOLELY DUE TO THE FACT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS BECOME THE COMMUNIST PARTY, and years of leftist-run and leftist-indoctrinated children in our public schools that PRODUCE VIOLENT COMMUNISTS who openly defy the rule of law in the United States.

Did the German reporter ask Obama about the shocking rumor that Trump might spend time away from Washington, DC?
To: BenLurkin
As delusional as he is phony.

How much did they have to pay Obama for the interview ?

What was unusual in this election is that my approval in the United States is as high as it has been since I was elected. Ah, yes - the old "highest approval rating ever" - as measured by the same people who told us that Hillary Clinton had the election in the bag...

For President Soetoro the economy is, indeed, going relatively well. There some things that still need to be improved, for instance there is still some middle class and the elite still do not own 100%.

This is the interview where Obama says:
“I can’t pardon somebody who hasn’t gone before a court and presented themselves, so that’s not something that I would comment on at this point.”

I caught that, too. Somewhere in Chappaqua there are some very worried grifters.

We are becoming more divided. Kind of like a marriage where the battered woman finally says enough and files for divorce.

0dunga/Soros are busy men, ordering HITS ON COPS IN AMERICA in between interviews and writing checks to anti-Trump terrorists.
Gee, 0dunga.. No terrorist attacks in the U.S. during the latter part of the election cycle? How strange.. How come? Trying to make Hillary and the Democrat party look better, leading up to November 8th? Did you tell ISIS to knock it off until after Trump takes office so you LOOK BETTER in the final days of your presidency?

Much discussed.
The question is whether Obama is sending a message to Hillary.
Or perhaps Der Spiegel translated Obama comments into German and then the German was retranslated into English, thus losing the exact meaning.
Or maybe Obama is just dumb.

Uh huh - and Clinton will win by a landslide. Pollsters told you what you wanted to hear, Obama, or haven’t you figured that out yet?
