    Hello, my name is Rolf Thissen and I'm German. I would like to comment on the above as follows.

    1. As stated below Mr Fischer was something like a street fighter in a former life. A lot lot lot of years ago he has become the ugly mispicture of an arrogant politician who is very strongly in love with himself and nobody else.

    2. Please try to get all information about Angela Merkel's biography and (more important) her political life.

    3. The increase of VAT has been promoted and realized by social democrat and finance minister Peer Steinbr??ck, Fischer's former coalition friend.

    4. Raised retirement age has been promoted and realized by SD Franz Muentefering, Fischer's former ... Anyway, this is some kind of super stupid nonsense because I can't imagine a construction worker aged 67 still doing his very hard work.

    5. Health care reform is crap. This is the kind of reform which are feasible in a coalition of Conservatives and social democrats. What health care reform have Mr Know It All Fischer and his "buddy" Schroeder put on the way: None.

    6. Foreign policy: The EU is not more and not less than an economic and fiscal free trade area. The first edition of the constitution was a 500 pages thing. Nobody knew what they were talking about. That we in Europe agreed on something exactly during the German presidency was mainly - even though I believe that she is a very good and honest diplomat - a case of coincidence. And now Mr Fischer, here's the smasher: During your time on duty as foreign minister Germany called Putin an absolutely true and honest democrat and what we did with China was strengthening German warfare industry by selling our latest weaponry systems to them.

    7. Are you really criticising her strong activities on our global environment? May I remind you that you had your office Mercedes on the ticket of the Green Party?

    In 1973, Fischer beat up a policmen with together with Hans Joachin Klein, who two years later participated in the OPEC attac alonside terrorist Carlos. Fischer has changed his positions too many times, it is quite ironic that he accuses Merkel of opportunism. I don't understand why America falls for the shenannigans of this former left radical, who didn't complete high school, neither any other education during his life.
