Angela Merkel should mind her own business

I'm getting a bit tired of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her conservative, Bush-loving party trying to interfere with our upcoming presidential elections. When Merkel decided to weigh in against Obama giving a speech before Berlin's Brandenburg Gate, I suspected she might be doing Bush's and McCain's dirty work, but I cut her some slack. But now that Obama has agreed to speak at another site, and a member of Merkel's own party is criticizing that location too, it's looking increasingly like Merkel's Christian Democratic Union party is trying to give Obama a hard time because he's a Democrat. Merkel and her party should get their noses out of our presidential campaign - we can pick our own president without their help, thank you very much.
