Germany’s Angela Merkel, raised in communist East Germany, cautions Obama and says no more stimulus spending.

Frau Merkel and her country have been there & done that HYPERINFLATION scene, even if 200,000 drunk Berliners forgot last summer.

Dave Barry had this to say about the 0’s appearance:

Barack Obama, having secured North and South America, flies to Germany without using an airplane and gives a major speech — speaking English and German simultaneously — to 200,000 mesmerized Germans, who immediately elect him chancellor, prompting France to surrender.

Dave Barry’s whole 2008 year in review is here, and it is actually funny, making fun of all the candidates.
