It isn't necessary to read the entire post to discover that the author is ignorant of basic facts and concepts. Barroso is a former Prime Minister of Portugal. Zapatero, far from being the 'President of his home country' is the Prime Minister of Spain. (Note, not the President, since Spain is a monarchy).
So Barroso is NOT from Spain. That's the lamest reason I can imagine for dismissing the content of this excellent article!
