I’m pretty sure Obama already had a bustectomy...
He regurgitated the thing to Great Britain.

"Hey, Angela! I heard you fractured your pelvis! You have to lie down for weeks? That's a shame. Tell you what -- why don't you hop a plane -- try to get a window seat, okay? You can cross the Atlantic and land in DC. Traffic might be bad, but everyone likes a nice car ride, eh? When you get here, I'll be really busy and keep you waiting for a few hours. Then we can have a pointless conversation and I can make some bad jokes about your phone conversations that we've all listened to. Then you can fly back and see your doctor ...
okay?"

“...President Barack Obama invited German Chancellor Angela Merkel to Washington ...”
Yes, and he will probably spy on her .... maybe she needs an anti-Slow Joe pill.

Hey, Merk: if you plan to stay in the White House don’t forget your flyswatter.

Return the stolen German gold bullion, stop tapping Merkel’s phone. Then maybe she’ll think you are a friendly nation.
Creepy SOB Obama.
