Anti-austerity campaigns, Greece, Syria and now Mr. Wulff's demise
Why Ms. Merkel deserves to be admitted to our Hall of Fame, drafted and posted on Feb. 17, 2012
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If there still was any doubt that German Chancellor Angela Merkel deserves to be admitted into Noah denkt™’s
Hall of Fame, today’s decision by her protégé to retire from his presidential job has effectively taken care of that.
After all, it is now not only the global anti-austerity front and the foot-dragging minders in Greece that have her by
her throat. No, as if it weren’t enough having to constantly fend off the international whining and crying coalition
she now also has deal wit the fact that her party’s presidential caretaker has turned out to be a third class joke.
In other words, it seems reasonable to argue that there is probably no other politician in this world right now, with
the notable exception of Mr. al-Asad in Syria, who is as beleaguered as Ms. Merkel is at this time. And yet she
handles all this pressure with immense grace, with incredible stamina and with a clarity of vision that deserves no
other description than calling it “heroic”. No, for us at Noah denkt™, it is clear that Ms. Merkel is now laying the
foundations to put her on par with great historic leaders such as Henry Kissinger, Michail Gorbachev or Helmut
Schmidt. And we humbly have to admit at this point that her handling of the European debt crisis has even been
more steadfast and unflinching than that of Noah denkt™ itself. We are, hence, proud and pleased at once to be
able to induct Ms. Angela Merkel into our very own Hall of Fame.
