Pop Quiz: How many times has the German Chancellor been to see Pres. O?

As you know, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is in Washington this week:

Obama Takes Merkel Out For Pre-State Dinner



Since this president was elected and took office, how many times has German Chancellor Angela Merkel been here to meet and talk with him?  

Bueller?

The answer is six.

Six times in two years.

Holy cow.

You know what that means, right?

However much work President O and the Dems need to create jobs between now and next November, she must be in a world more trouble politically, back at home, than he is.

Yikes.

I wonder if they're collectively more concerned about what's going on than they can betray to the public with both the world economy, in general, and Europe, more specifically.
