Obama does not come from the same tradition as his predecessors. He is interested in Asia and Russia, not Europe. There is no sense of a privileged relationship. They seem to take us for granted sometimes.

And perish the thought that Europe is being taken for granted because it is run by docile wimps and loyal Quislings who are happy to betray European interests for a photo-op at the White House.

Why pay for what you can get for free?

The fact that Barosso is an incompetent moron and that Bliar's ego tripping character assassination of the new Council chairman and the foreign affairs commissioner still lingers in the English-speaking press probably doesn't help either.

This connects with my thinking when Brown was tripping over himself to get photos with Obama back in early-2009.  So we have a bunch of leaders actually competing with each other for this guy's attention in hopes of looking cool to their own voters, and now they're angry because he doesn't take them seriously?

It looks pathetic from afar.  Imagine what it looks like to the actual guy.
