Does anyone even know who the German president is? (Hint: it's not Angela Merkel.) I live in Germany and I wouldn't have been able to name him.

  That's probably because he doesn't have any real power :)

    which is probably why he can boycott things without upsetting too many people.

  I always have to remember myself that it's Gauck now. Pity that Köhler resigned. He was a good guy, but no real politician. All in all we've been lucky with our presidents. Von Weizsäcker, Rau, Herzog, all of them good people. I'm still not sure about Gauck, he seems very secluded and withdrawn to me.

  Yes, even caught me off guard for a second. This is a rare case when sensationalist title is indeed factual :)

  As a German, of course I know who our president is.
