WHEN Europeans wish upon a star, they get an American president with a huge Third World chip on his shoulder.
Those "sophisticated" Europeans dismissed "cowboy" Bush as a rube beneath their contempt. If the continent's opinion-makers could've changed their voter registrations, they would've flown to Chicago to vote for Barack Obama last fall.
They got what they wanted. But it isn't what they expected.
President Obama may be the least Europe-friendly occupant of the White House since James Monroe (the guy who put up a "Keep Out!" sign on our hemisphere). Bam clearly doesn't like Europeans.
A big chill has hit the trans-Atlantic atmosphere. Beyond the perfunctory grip-and-grins at Saturday's D-Day commemoration, there was no bonhomie between European leaders and our celebrity prez.
Nor can the somber setting -- or even the raw sea breeze -- be blamed for the dour mood in Normandy. The president and first lady maintained their own self-absorbed bubble, enchanted with being the Obamas. President George W. Bush may have been inarticulate, but the Obamas were ungracious.
The new ice age was also evident during Bam's stop in Germany. Walking or standing side by side, he and German Chancellor Angela Merkel looked like a couple going through a brutal divorce who got caught in the same elevator on the way to meet their lawyers.
In France, Obama brushed off Nicolas Sarkozy, the most pro-American president to occupy the Elysée Palace in my lifetime. Sarkozy had to beg for a meeting.

They’re just now discovering that?
Oops. Looks like they’ll have to clean up their own messes for the next 4 to 8 years.
Yes, but when the Obama’s go on vacation, do they go to their beloved “Turd World” crapholes like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or Indonesia?
Oh noooooooooo.... they go to tony France and London...
Why doesn’t King Zero send his family for a vacation to visit their uncles back in Kenya?
Stupid Euros. They got what they wanted.
The most dead-on balls accurate description of the Obamas: they are totally absorbed in being The Obamas. And the United States of America and the rest of the world be damned.
“Even in his blame-us Cairo speech, Obama’s mention of women’s rights was aimed not at Middle Eastern savagery, but at France — where headscarves can’t be worn in public schools. “
OH HOLY COW! I had forgotten about that. Very good catch Mr. Peters.
In Spring of 2008 my daughter was traveling in France. When people realized she was American (by her shoes, so I’m told) they would start shouting “obama.”
Wonder how they feel now..........
Yep, the Euroweenies have had the USA defending them for 60+ years while they wallow in their Socialist states. Suddenly, they now realize that the USA under Obamalamadingdong probably isn't going to do that anymore. Ditto Israel. A new awakening to reality is in progress if you axe me.....
Looks like Peters is referring to Zero's cousin Odinga..
Odinga and Obama are from the same Kenyan Luo tribe. Odinga supporters are the people that are burning Christians alive, trapped inside churches! Most of Odinga's fanatical followers are radical Islamists who have pushed for Islamic Sharia Law, total banning of other religions and closing of co-ed schools, night clubs and ‘public dressing style considered immoral’. Odinga was educated in Former Soviet controlled East Germany and maintains a strong loyalty to the vision of his ‘Educators’ and has allied with Islamist in order to gain their political support.
In 2006 Obama took a trip to Kenya and voiced his support for his fellow tribesman and political ally, Odinga.
“...good Lord, he hates America as much as the French!”
Everyone he is insulting is white. Everyone he embraces is not. This is clear evidence that the man is a racist in the same mold as his pastor. His racism was clear in the campaign. Why should anybody, except the most self-deluded among us, be surprised?
