"No, no ... thanks Barack. No need to endorse me."

Obama has the reverse Midas touch. Oh sure, he's good at getting things for himself. But that's about it. Just to list a few examples:

• Securing the Olympics for Chicago - failed
• Campaigning for various other Democrats in 2012 - failed so consistently that various Democrats refused to let him come campaign for them
• Led the Dems to devastating congressional and state losses in 2010 
• Led the Dems to devastating congressional and state losses in 2014
• Worked against Netanyahu's re-election - failed
• Spoke out against Brexit - failed
• Campaigned for Hillary - failed
• Led the Dems to devastating congressional and state losses in 2016. This one was especially impressive. The Republicans now control the White House and both houses of Congress. Furthermore, they have a record number of state legislatures. Oh, and two-thirds of the governorships. YAY BARACK!!

Now he has stuck his nose in Germany's politics (because being the narcissist he is, he's always confident that what everyone wants is to get his opinion) to endorse Merkel. If she has any sense (which is questionable, given her work to devastate Germany via immigration), I'm guessing Obama's endorsement didn't make her optimistic about her chances of re-election.
