THIS SLIGHT IS EXTRAORDINARY DISRESPECT. OBAMA DOESN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT EUROPE - OR THE WEST.
HE WENT THERE TO GET HIS PRIZE AND TO BEG FOR THE CHICAGO OLYMPIC COMMITTEE - BUT CARES NOT A WHIT FOR THE CORE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE USA AND THE EU.
OBAMA: CORRUPT INCOMPETENT ANTI-WEST LEFTIST.

I don't much care about the relationship between the US and the EU, because I don't think the EU is going to be around for long.
That being said, I do care about the relationship between the US and Europe. Thus, I believe it would be important for Obama to be part of meetings at which Europe strategizes, even if it is an EU meeting.
