My, my, my, so the Eurotrash finally realized that The One is a fake, a phony, and a fraud (just like a lot of dumb, deluded people here in the colonies). Obama identifies with the Third World not with Europe and he has no intention of defending you. So you actually might start missing “Cowboy Bush” soon?

EUROPA IS pining for what she believes is unrequited love when it comes to the United States. Having fallen head over heals for Barack Obama, Europe is now feeling jilted.
In a paper entitled “End of a Honeymoon,’’ the German Marshall Fund’s Constanze Stelzenmuller recently wrote: “It seemed as though a fairytale had come true’’ when America elected the president of Europe’s dreams. “But in all myths and fairytales, wish fulfillment is, of course, the stuff of tragedy,’’ he wrote. Obama may be “a man of Western values,’’ but he was not formed by the Cold War’s east-west divide, and, as he said himself, he is the “first Pacific president. ’’
The press made much of President Nicolas Sarkozy’s visit to the United States, describing it as fence-mending, and saying that Obama finally granted the French president the special gesture he craved: a meal for the French first couple in Obama’s family dining room. Sarkozy, the most pro-American French president in a long time, had felt miffed because the Obamas had chosen to eat at a left bank restaurant instead of in the Elysee Palace.
In Britain, where a parliamentary foreign affairs committee recently called for a reassessment of the traditional bonds that bound America and Britain, the reaction was vociferous. “The Special Relationship Is Over . . . Now Stop Calling Us America’s Poodle,’’ headlined the Guardian. The committee warned that Prime Minister Tony Blair’s eagerness to join Bush in attacking Iraq had hurt Britain’s standing in the world. The subservient “poodle’’ image “is deeply damaging to the reputation and interests of the United Kingdom, ’’ the parliamentarians said.
The “special relationship’’ that Franklin Roosevelt formed with Churchill against Hitler was tested in 1956 when President Eisenhower told Britain, France and Israel to stop their invasion of Egypt and restore the status quo ante. While France took home the message that the United States could not be trusted, the British decided never again to let their foreign policy drift too far from that of the United States.
