Merkel vs Obama

Ángela Merkel. Si no existiera habría que inventarla. Vamos, que los tiene más bien puestos que todos los paniguados/as neo liberales o de tendencias variables, desconocidas o dudosas, cutres, algo casposos, ciber pijos, chalchicheros, de todo pelaje y adscripciones políticas, que en cool Spain, nos están sacando de la crisis (a golpe de las exportación de nuestros científicos, ingenieros, médicos). Esos padres y madres de la patria, una grande y libre. Perdón, alucino, sorry, si de los que iba a hablar es de que a la señora/Frau Merkel no se le ha olvidado la desvergüenza de que los servicios de (?) inteligencia estadounidenses le pegaran la oreja digital a sus teléfonos privados. Pero ya era hora. Han dado,por fin, con la horma de sus imperiales (Gucci) zapatos. "A los amigos no se les espía", dixit Frau Merkel. Supongo, es un decir, que con Doña Merkel no le bastará a Obama desenfundar su fúlgida sonrisa Colgate, esa simpática exhibición de dientes que tanto encandila al personal. Me imagino que no podrá distraerla, abrumarla con su prosa florida, de brillante abogado salido de universidad puntera y global ¿Harvard creo?, ni con el enorme lustre que da ser el primer ciudadano negro que habita en la Casa Blanca a título de presidente (Ya era hora), Infiero que si Obama no hila muy fino, con Frau Merkel, que es de ciencias,doctorada en buena ley, y que encima se sabe la Biblia de cabo a rabo (o del Génesis al Apocalipsis Now), puede que lo tenga algo crudo.
  Merkel es una estadista. No un/a señora simpática/mujer metida en política, de tres al cuarto. La verdad es que no entiendo cómo a la ínclita y pelin puñetera NSA, se le ocurrió meter a la canciller alemana en la lista de magnatarios espiables. En un saco que incluye seres que no se pueden comparar, ni de lejos, con ella. Vamos, Merkel habla claro, bien y poco.Pero dice mucho. Se sabe lo que quiere. Sí, es de derechas, de derechas para progresar. Con sentido de Estado. Todavía, ¿necesitan espiarla?. Desde luego que tienen lo que se merecen: unos espías que no cuidan a sus ciudadanos como para que les sonaran el 11/S en NY y después tan torpes que insultan a sus mejores aliados.

"Angela Merkel should ask Barack Obama to destroy her NSA file when she meets the American president in Washington later this week, a leading German opposition politician has told the Guardian.
The Greens warn that a failure to address the intelligence monitor scandal would risk undermining the credibility of the western alliance during the Ukraine crisis.
"Close co-operation between western allies requires joint values – also in relation to the activities of our intelligence services", said Omid Nouripour, the Green party's foreign policy spokesperson.
"Trying to sit out the NSA scandal won't work: we can't afford to let the remaining open questions strain relations during on the current crisis", he said, suggesting that a symbolic act, such as the destruction of Merkel's NSA file, could help to mend US-German relations.
The German chancellor travels to the US on Thursday and will meet Obama on Friday.
So far, the US government has refused to allow Merkel access to her NSA file and answer formal questions about its surveillance activities, a recent query to the German Bundestag has shown. According to a report in German magazine Der Spiegel, the NSA kept more than 300 reports on Merkel in a special heads of state databank.
Merkel's office has been eager to lower expectations ahead of the first meeting between the two leaders since it emerged in October that US intelligence services had tapped Merkel's mobile phone.
Her spokesperson, Steffen Seibert, said on Friday that one visit would not suffice to clear up remaining questions over NSA surveillance, and that therefore "concrete results in this area can't be expected".

Cuando se destapó el asunto :
Der Spiegel said the NSA kept more than 300 reports on Merkel in a special databank concerning heads of state, including the leaders of Peru, Somalia, Guatemala, Colombia and Belarus.
The new reports are based on a document from the NSA's Center for Contract Extraction, which carries out automated analysis of collected text data. Der Spiegel said that the document, from 2009, appeared to contain the names of 122 world leaders, listed in alphabetical order from Abdullah Badawi, a former Malaysian prime minister, to Yulia Tymoshenko, the Ukrainian prime minister at the time. The magazine said the document indicated Merkel was included in a “so-called 'Target Knowledge Database'”.
Reports of American surveillance of the German leader are not new. In October, Der Spiegel reported that the NSA had monitored Merkel's mobile phone for as long as 10 years. The news caused considerablediplomatic embarrassment for President Barack Obama, particularly over the question of whether he had known of such surveillance. The NSA said he had not.
In December, it was reported that, in a conversation with Obama, Merkelcompared the NSA to the Stasi, the security and surveillance organisation of communist East Germany.
Earlier this month, German lawmakers agreed to launch an inquiry into surveillance by the NSA and other foreign intelligence services. German federal prosecutors may also open an investigation.
