ANOTHER SIGN OBAMA DOESN'T LIKE THE WEST: SKIPPING THE EU MEETING IN MADRID

NYTIMES:
President Obama has decided not to attend a United States-European Union summit scheduled for Madrid in May, and European Union officials found out about the decision through the press late on Monday, senior European officials said Tuesday morning.

... American officials said that Mr. Obama was underwhelmed by the previous major U.S.-E.U. summit meeting, last June in Prague, and European Union officials said that the President even skipped a leaders’ lunch at the smaller E.U.-U.S. meeting in Washington last November, sending Vice President
Joseph R. Biden Jr. instead, something they said that President Bush would never have done.

U.S. Move to Skip Europe Meeting Seen as a Slight

By STEVEN ERLANGER 9:23 AM ET

European Union officials found out about the decision through news reports on Monday.


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.
