President Barack Obama’s press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday was a love fest, with Obama joking that Merkel would have his backing if he were a German voter.
Asked whether he would like to see Merkel run for re-election in 2017, Obama all but explicitly endorsed her candidacy.
“I try to make it a rule not to meddle in other people’s politics. All I can say is that Chancellor Merkel has been an outstanding partner,” Obama said at their joint appearance in Berlin.
“Chancellor Merkel is perhaps the only leader left among our closest allies that was there when I arrived,” he went on. “In some ways, we are now the veterans of many challenges over the last eight years.”

So it is OK for Saudis to support Hillary and Obama to support Merkel? But not Assange to speak the truth about Hillary?
It will be interesting if Merkel just got the kiss of death.

Obama has the reverse Midas touch, everything he touches turns to sh!t.
Merkel is doomed.
The man without coattails.
Let’s hope!
Given his track record, she should be screaming
Nein! Nein! Geh weg von mir! Raus!
