Uhm, obviously you are unfamiliar with how our government works. CONGRESS controls the national checkbook, not the President.

You don't, but then again being liked by the Europeans is not part of the US Presidents job description either.

We have been insulted as "old Europe"

That's nice but if Americans didn't like Merkel would you Germans care all that much?
