I have seen this look before, from my grandmother aka Oma. This is the look you get before she says through her thick accent, “bullsh*tters”.
It is apparent that Angela Merkel is unimpressed with the populist rhetoric of Mr. Obama. Maybe Germans have just had their belly full of populist leaders promising the world and delivering nothing of the sort. Of course at least their populist leaders of old managed to elevate themselves by building up their nation. In the case of Mr. Obama it seems that he is most comfortable laying on the guilt with all of us, and straight up throwing us under the bus with the rest of the world. Admitting that the US engaged in a coup in Iran in 1953 was a gesture of good will on Mr. “Naive” Obama’s part… but will now and forever be a mallet with which to strike at us for Mr. Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollah du jour.
