LOL. Steffie helpfully explains that it doesn’t matter that Obozo didn’t get any thing. He is merely setting the stage for the future as these people will now take his phone calls.

You could not make this stuff up.

With what Obama has been giving away, they won’t just take his calls—they’ll be on perpetual hold, hoping for the great fortune of having him call them.

This is beyond belief I cannot believe that the media saw the same photos as we did daily on the dose read the same press releases and press conferences on the White House website that we did during GWB Presidency. Yes there were differences in policy etc but it was evident that on a personal level many of the European leaders were more than happy to speak to President George W Bush, I especially think of some of the photos of him with Angela Merkel.

I remember also that Merkel's husband accompanied her on at least 2 visits that GWB made to Germany including a hog roast and I think may have even come to States. Why do I mention this because he very rarely ever seen in public with Merkel as it is rumoured their political views are not similar and that he is not that much of a political animal so for him to be with her during GWB's visits indicate this was considered a special event.

Found it yes her husband did accompany her to the States and in fact they visited President Bush's own raunch in Crawford
