Barack Obama puts romantic meal with Michelle before Czech politicians

The charms of a wonderful woman and a beautiful city are hard to beat.

So much so that Barack Obama will snub his hosts after arriving in Prague this evening in favour of a romantic Saturday night dinner with his wife, Michelle.

The Czech Republic is a stopover on the US President's first tour of Europe because it currently holds the presidency of the European Union, which rotates every six months.

But rather than meet the country's conservative leaders, with whom the President has little in common and who have been rather rude about the United States recently, the Obamas have decided to spend their only night in Prague soaking up the atmosphere.

“He requested a romantic dinner with a view of Prague, where they can eat the best Czech food,” said a Czech government source. “They have spent days trying to decide on the right restaurant.” ....

President Klaus is understood to have invited the Obamas to dinner at Prague Castle, while Mr Topolánek, his rival, offered to take Mr Obama out to a traditional Czech pub. ....

Much to their discomfiture, Mr Obama has decided to meet both of them at a breakfast meeting tomorrow morning, before the EU-US summit attended by leaders from the 27 EU countries. Later, Mr Obama plans to spend time with Václav Havel, the playwright who led the country out of communism and whom the US President greatly admires. He will probably get as much time as both of the current leaders put together.

Man, these people are getting accolades that no one can really documment.

He's a genius with no real accomplishments.

She's a fashion plate with no sense of fashion

She's a wonderful woman, said by a writer who probably doesn't even know her.

Yes, although there is also a Soros angle to this: Klaus and Soros have had an open public feud for years. It goes back to the establishment of Central European University in Prague back in the '90's when Klaus was the Premier of the Czech Republic. Klaus did everything he could to limit Soros's influence in the newly independent Czech Republic. Eventually Soros moved the whole Central Euro U to Budapest. Then-premier Klaus did everything he could to thwart Soros's influence.

Barry is Soros's guy. I wouldn't be surprised if this faux pas is a calculated insult done at the behest of Soros. Here is Klaus, now chair of the Euro Union, getting dissed by the President of the U.S. I believe this was as calculated as the snub given to the Brits during Brown's visit.

These people are truly petty and vicious. No good can come from anything they do. They've got us all in the cross-hairs. I've never felt such a sense of disquiet in my life.

And I think Klaus is smart enought to use it to his advantage when the time is right. Hopefully not to our disadvantage.

So far, it looks like the healer of the world is showing himself to be the fraud we knew he was. Not up to the hype.

” In fact, he snubs whites. “

Just wait until Barry and his basketball visit Africa and Muslim countries.
He will honor every established protocol and custom.
No inappropriate touching.
No shabby and thoughtless gifts.
No leader will be snubbed.
Robert Mugabe will be bear hugged and fist bumped.

I agree he'll use it somehow, and I doubt it will be to the disadvantage of the US. It may be to the disadvantage of BO, which would be perfectly appropriate. Klaus is a smart man, and the Czechs know what commies and appeasers look like; he's not fooling them.

If the traditions are similar to those from the Ukraine, he needs to spit 3x. That was what my grandmother would do when discussing the Bolsheviks.

We sound like a broken record....if Bush took an entourage of 500 on an overseas trip and snubbed the President of the EU, gave the Queen a tacky gift, etc....etc....etc....we would never hear the end of it from a truly “free” press.

I’d REALLY like to know who all is on this trip!

A romantic dinner with a view of Prague. Probably with food prepared by his own kitchen staff that was brought from the US.

Nothing but the best for King Baraq.

Well, if he’d just buy a ranch he could head there and hang out for romance.
