Those who wanted change in the office of chancellor have failed.
You can be sure that I will handle with responsibility the things that made you a German chancellor whom people will remember fondly,
I expect the German chancellor to personally talk with (United States) president (George W.) Bush and not about him at campaign meetings.
Things are now going well (in the talks), ... I'm certain that Frau Merkel will be elected as chancellor on November 22 by the parliament.
