Barack Obama spent an hour answering questions about Klaas Heufer-Umlauf in Berlin on Wednesday evening. He also spoke about his wife.

Former US President Barack Obama (61) performed in the Mercedes-Benz Arena during his three-day visit to Berlin. In a one-hour conversation with moderator Klaas Heufer-Umlauf (39) on Wednesday evening (May 3), he chatted about politics and climate change as well as about his wife Michelle (59).

An evening with Barack Obama

“She says I’m wrong ten times a day,” he joked, according to the “Evening with President Barack Obama.” Similar events have previously taken place in Zurich and Amsterdam. There Obama had said that his wife Michelle and daughters Sasha (21) and Malia (24) were much more popular than him. Klaas Heufer-Umlauf alluded to this after the talk in Switzerland: “Yesterday together with the fourth most popular member of the Obama family (according to his own statement).”

He met Angela Merkel and Olaf Scholz

In Berlin, Barack Obama met with former Chancellor Angela Merkel (68) and her husband Joachim Sauer (74) for dinner. In an interview with Klaas Heufer-Umlauf he described Merkel as an “old friend”. On Wednesday afternoon he had lunch with Olaf Scholz (64). The Chancellor later thanked Obama for his commitment “to democracy, tolerance and reason”.

The 44th President of the USA (2009-2017) also recorded his visit to Berlin and recalled an appointment for his charitable foundation, the Obama Foundation. “These young people are committed to strengthening our communities and advancing democracy.”

It was the fifth time that Barack Obama has visited Berlin. On Thursday (May 4th) he will travel to the USA again. “I’m happy to see my wife again,” he announced.
