Under fire at home for his program to accept 10,000 Syrian refugees this year, President Obama said Sunday that he is “proud” of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the people of Germany for accepting far more migrants from the war-torn country.

In response to a reporter’s question noting that Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has called Mrs. Merkel’s open-door refugee policy “insane,” Mr. Obama defended her at a joint press conference in Hannover, Germany.

Yeah, Germany is certainly a fine place. Any reports on Obama praising this?

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Berlin chairman of the German Pirate Party Bruno Kramm was detained by police during a protest against the government’s decision to open inquiry into a comedian’s satiric poem mocking Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, according to the party’s statement.

Last week, Berlin sanctioned the launch of an investigation against German comedian Jan Boehmermann over a controversial obscene poem that the satirist recited on German TV targeting the Turkish leader.

"The demonstration in front of the Turkish Embassy was dispersed. Bruno Kramm was arrested for citing Böhmermann’s poem," the statement published Friday on the Pirate Party’s Twitter page reads.

Kramm violated the same section of the German criminal code, which allowed opening proceedings against Boehmermann. The section 103 prohibits "defamation of organs and representatives of foreign states."

I can think of a certain representative of a "foreign" state that I would readily defame, but I don't want to be arrested by die Polizei.
