One thing I’d like to point out here is that Merkel (and her husband) are PhD level scientists and thus trained in coherent thought. That, in and of itself, is not enough to explain her success and her policies, but it is a factor. Her growing up in East Germany before the reunification and her father as a Lutheran clergyman obviously had something to do with her moral values. The whole was a real bonus for Germany.

Definitely a rerun from one of the ‘Views of…’ cartoon series last week.

Her vision of the EU, or for the EU, is what will be missed.

Her retirement could be a sunset for the E.U. Her leadership shall be sorely missed.

I really hope that is an iced coffee and the sun continuing to rise for the EU…
