Gene Redlin Gene Redlin Obama is fielding calls from German chancellor Angela Merkel, irate that we were tapping her mobile phone. Now she and the first lady of Brazil are going to the UN over this, humiliating our country, which was just humiliated last week at the UN by, of all places, Saudi Arabia. My guess is that Obama, as we now know one of the world’s most famously absentee executives, barely paid attention to what the NSA was doing, but no matter what the true story, the idea of our pompous chief executive trying to explain himself to Merkel borders on the hilarious, if it wasn’t repellent and tragic. I have seen some meltdowns born of incompetence, but this is getting ridiculous. cnn/2013/10/24/world/europe/europe-summit-nsa-surveillance/ Obama is fielding calls from German chancellor Angela Merkel, irate that we were tapping her mobile phone.
