Certainly I've appreciated Angela Merkel as a partner.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel faces a critical test in her political career. Merkel has been under increasing pressure over the European migrant crisis, and recent polls suggest Angela Merkel, who's been the German leader for more than a decade, could lose an election in her political home state.
Angela Merkel has been an extraordinary partner for me and for the United States throughout my presidency.
When it comes to social issues such as the role of the family, I'm certainly more conservative than Angela Merkel. But on the big questions on what direction and where Germany should develop, when it comes to the economy, then we have very similar views.
It's also wonderful to be back with my great friend and ally, Chancellor [Angela] Merkel. As I reflect back over the last eight years, I could not ask for a steadier or more reliable partner on the world stage, often through some very challenging times.
I hold Angela Merkel in high regard.
Angela Merkel puts Germany first.
Angela Merkel is the best solution for Poland.
Angela Merkel is no Konrad Adenauer or Helmut Schmidt.
I'm plain incapable of getting angry with Angela Merkel and likewise.
I have great respect for Angela Merkel, even if we have a lot of differences.
I can't blame Angela Merkel for saying she wants a strong euro.
Im plain incapable of getting angry with Angela Merkel and likewise.
If I were German and I had a vote, I might support Angela Merkel.
I suspect Obama did not know he was recording Angela Merkel's cell phones.
Keeping quiet and letting the others do the talking. That may be Angela Merkel's method, but it's not mine.
I hope people appreciate Chancellor Merkel because, although she traditionally is considered center-right and I'm considered center-left, the truth is that we share those core values, and those are worth protecting. As the senior leader in Europe, as the leader who's been longest lasting, I think she has great credibility, and she is willing to fight for those values. I'm glad that she's there, and I think the German people should appreciate her. Certainly, I have appreciated her as a partner.
