The most merciful President Barack Obama ended all speculation that there has been a rift between he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel at today's press conference in Dresden, Germany.
A German reporter asked Obama about his relationship with Merkel. Obama responded saying, “I think your characterization of wild speculation is accurate — they are very wild and based on no facts. So stop it, all of you. I know you have to find something to report on, but we have more than enough problems out there without manufacturing problems.”
In reality, there is a rift. Merkel was close to President George W. Bush on foreign policy.
