In a joint press conference Monday, President Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel fielded questions from both the American and German press.
A German reporter asked President Obama what his red line was when it comes to arming the Ukrainian army. The reporter took a jab at the fact that Obama is a Nobel Prize recipient and asked how that would enable his actions.
The president quickly deferred the question to Merkel. Once he decided to answer the question, he decided not to make any reference to the question asked nor mention his Noble Prize.
