German president Christian Wulff is in difficulty.
Allegations that he was involved in 'money issues' when he was premier in Lower Saxony.
And now there is a national debate whether or not he should resign as German President.
Wulff is alleged to have borrowed money from a long-standing friend to buy a house
Suddenly it looks as if Mr Wulff may have taken a lea from one, Mr Bertie Ahern.
Mixed in the cocktail too is a broken marriage.
At one level this is funny. At another not at all. If a second German President resigns within 12 months of one another, then there is a worry.
Is it in some ways beginning to look like Weimar?
