What exactly is Barack Obama's problem with Europe?
Obama announced yesterday that he'll be skipping a series of diplomatic meetings with the European Union. Apparently the president's schedule is too full making the TV rounds and posing for basketball photo ops. Except European diplomats are saying two American diplomats attended a preparatory meeting for the summit two weeks ago. The prime minister of Spain, Jose Zapatero, is apparently outraged at Obama.
Our closest allies are on the European continent and yet Obama keeps showing them the cold shoulder. This is particularly true of Great Britain. The president bought the Queen of England an iPod and shipped a decades-old White House bust of Winston Churchill back to London. If Obama keeps showing this contempt for our greatest allies, he may find himself without a friend anywhere.
