Europe’s Bush Nostalgia
WSJ
Chalk up another diplomatic snub to Europe. The Administration has told the European Union that President Obama won’t attend the regular U.S.-EU confab this May in Madrid—through a leak to this newspaper on Monday. Spain’s Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, whose country holds the bloc’s rotating presidency, was said to be surprised, embarrassed and incensed by the slight.
Which makes us wonder: Can’t Europe take a hint?
One of Mr. Obama’s first, er, diplomatic acts was to return the bust of Winston Churchill in the White House to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Later, he pulled the plug on missile defense sites in the Czech Republic and Poland without trying to inform their national leaders until late in the night. No President in recent memory has cared less for America’s alliance with Europe.
Regarding the EU meeting, we sympathize with the President. Having attended two such gatherings in his first year, he may have had his fill of empty summitry—all pomp, little circumstance. The ciphers appointed to the new posts of EU president and foreign minister aren’t exactly a draw. An American leader has better things to do, though someone at the White House or State Department might have done better than a newspaper leak to announce the snub.

I can't believe they are surprised……this is a MUSLIM favoring person; they should be GLAD he doesn't come!
The Narcissist in chief isn't being praised by anyone in Europe, so why should he give them his 'precious' time. Remember what Mrs. O said about using her 'valuable' time to hack for the Olympics…….Europeans and NOT as gullible as some Obummer fans it seems.

We all are wise to this egomaniac. This man is a LIAR, not one word he says is true. As long as we are aware of this fact, then we won't get taken in by this Marxist in the oval office.
IMPEACH OBAMA IN 2010.
