Like that that make people pause. it certainly makes me pause and wonder whether he understands what the job of president of the united states is about. hes a leader of the free world. youve managed -- and that comment continues to extend an insult to our allies. he insulted britain. he refused to back down on it. then he tries to make a joke standing next to, you know, the leader of germany for the past 20 years. and clearly she was taken aback by it. this is a delicate job. this is not a job f...
