I would suspect that when Obama meets with Chancellor Merkel he won't do anything dumbass like this:

1. She was quoted as saying if Obama tried to give her a rub she "wouldn't resist."

But you can see how she was icked out by having the Chimpinator's hands even touch her.

[Midlodemocrat]

2. That poor woman. Being touched by that monkey.

[LynneSin]

5. It's like yes, she's a woman and yes, women do appreciate backrubs

but I would like to think that she would prefer her backrubs either from a paid professional or her husband. That was such a demeaning thing to do to her, I mean geez she was fairly elected as the leader of her country (unlike Bush who stole it)

[TwilightGardener]

3. I still have no idea what he was thinking. Who does that to a head of state?

It was shockingly inappropriate, even for a chimp.

[Whisp]

6. he would not have done this to a man, that's obvious

so that's tells ya what his problem is.

[babylonsister]

9. No, he would have rubbed their head.

[awoke_in_2003]

17. He wasn't thinking, he was drunk. nt

[BklynChick]

4. ewwww, what is wrong with him?

[opihimoimoi]

7. he had some nips at the wild turkey? I mean...look at his face

[proud2BlibKansan]

8. Not near enough time to answer that question

So I will sum it up in one word: PLENTY

[JaneQPublic]

10. Chimpy set such a low bar for the next president in foreign relations

The next president is an vast improvement as long as he/she:

1. Doesn't give surprise backrubs to heads of state.

2. Doesn't give other heads of states nicknames, like "Pooty-Poot."

3. Doesn't greet the head of an entire religion with, "Hiya, pope! Yer lookin good!"

[LynneSin]

11. He set the standards so low that even this idiot would qualify as a president

[awoke_in_2003]

18. Spongebob isn't an idiot

he is an idealist :)

[trailrunners]

12. WTF?

Did he REALLY do that?!?!?! Is that photoshopped? Holy sh*t that dude is way more messed up that I even thought he was!

[LynneSin]

13. Yep, he did that - I'm sure the video is somewhere on youtube

btw welcome to DU :hi:

[SoonerPride]

14. It was an international incident and major blunder.

What a shock.

16. Not photoshopped - absolutely accurate

[Yavin4]

15. On Any Job, That's Sexual Harassment
