text: I heartily agree. Angela Merkel showed such grace in the face of our president with his Neanderthal manners and self-serving "jokes." I found myself wishing she were our president. She has also shown real humanitarian instincts in her welcoming so many refugees. I read that she is a atheist or agnostic, but she definitely shows more Christianity in her actions than our president and so many of our cowed legislators, in  my opinion.
