She made it quite challenging for her successor, , who could convince the nation after Angela Merkel!? ❤️

[aisadal]

Can't believe it's the end of another era 😔

They are both an inspiration to us all as examples of true leadership. Such kind encouraging words!

A German citizen 🇩🇪❤️🇺🇸

Thank you Mr. President for your most truthful and spot on words about another great leader like yourself. Germany will miss her leadership.

[HarpaxA]

Spoken like true leader, to another true leader 🤩👍

Not just stupid rant of "fake news" and racist comment 🍊

[carmensantana]

Thanks again president Obama for your wise and kind words .

So much class! The greatest president of any country ever! And I'm not even American, or German or even black. Angela is truly blessed if Barack calls her his friend!!

[a-a-ron]

He defines presidential class, that this country deserves..

[pammf]

Isn’t it nice to hear a former president actually give a warm and thoughtful speech that is directed to someone else without every other word being about himself—— and how unfair she was —etc etc etc….anyway it was nice to hear

[teammmx]

Just think of what this woman was able to accomplish against all the odds. She was effective the leader of the entire European Union for a long long time, not just Germany. Well respected.

[Asa...S]

Could you please not put up the cards in the end so soon? It kinda destroys the ends of videos.

[vlinder]

That was a great "DANKE SCHÖN"💕
Thank you Mr. OBAMA 💙

best of luck to her and whatever she does next.

Fair well Angela. You were the headgirl of all the girls in the world. It was liberating and empowering watching you hold your own amongst all male world leaders. I pray we have another girl world leader in no distant time.
Bye 😽
