Europeans were among the loudest cheerleaders for Barack Obama during his presidential campaign. Soon after he won the Democratic candidacy 200,000 people turned out in Berlin to hear him speak. But now that he is settled in the White House, many Europeans feel snubbed.
Just six weeks into his presidency, Europeans are already fretting that Obama has yet to visit Europe. His Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, flew west for her first foreign trip, spending a week in Asia last month, before traveling to the Middle East. Meanwhile, Obama has returned the Winston Churchill bust that sat in the Oval Office for the past eight years to the British. Indeed, some Europeans brood that the new President's only nod toward them came with the family decision to adopt a Portuguese water dog. (See pictures of presidential dogs.)

If they were outside running around. Or if they were with us when we were leaving. Indoors, he didn't bother. Only when he sensed the group was leaving or spreading out. I guess not all of them have a strong herding instinct, but ours was and still is pretty committed.
Hey, they’ll get over it. Obama can run down to Walgreens and pick up some DVD’s to give them as gifts. They’ll be wowed.
