 good evening john and thank you for having me on your show actually i'm glad you brought up this visit of barack obama to berlin because merkel was not at all happy with it and she didn't get on with obama in his in his first years and i think she was a little bit put off by his charisma and his his the way he appealed to the crowds and everything and uh she didn't want to be associated with his with his campaign but um as we know they got on extremely well over the years
