Europe had embraced Obama as a European American. Very true. The president is the most European American ever to sit in the Oval Office.

Europe is very Eurocentric and myopic here.
Obama is Kenyan-American. And Kenya was a Colony of the UK - part of the British Empire. Obama’s feelings for our British relatives are probably about the same as many Irish-Americans were when they supported the IRA versus the British “occupation” of Northern Ireland.
Fortunate for future dealings, Obama was not able to mask his true feelings, and now everyone knows which way his biases lean.
They were indeed stupid if they thought that. Jean Francois Kerrie' was a European American. Bammy is a turd-world socialist. Their kind don't like Europe much.
I wish this were true. I am watching TV news from New Zealand and Australia. They love Obama and insult President Bush. They must only read AP wire feeds.
