WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama, heading overseas for the first time as president next week, aims to use a combination of summit protocol and campaign flash to corral support for his programs.
Facing political headwinds but with a European public still on his side, Mr. Obama will attend three high-profile international events -- the meeting of Group of 20 nations that kicks off Wednesday evening in London, a North Atlantic Treaty Organization meeting at the end of the week, and a European Union-U.S. summit in Prague on April 5.
Barack Obama But Mr. Obama also intends to extend his efforts beyond official meetings. He will hold a town hall-style meeting at a sports arena in Strasbourg, France, European diplomatic officials said. And the White House is looking for a site in Prague for the first public foreign-policy speech of Mr. Obama's presidency, according to Petr Kolar, the Czech Republic's ambassador to the U.S.

Well, let’s see: Obama has already offended nearly ALL of our closest allies (Mexico, Britain, Poland, etc). It will be interesting to see who else he will offend on this trip.
But Mr. President those European citizens are not eligible to vote for you.
Then why the hell am I going over there!
TOTUS world tour...
Well, at least we can be assured of a week without a speech. Idol fans are content.
It’s so important that the rest of the world like us, really, really like us.
Ever.
BHO is done. Water on parched grond will eventually soak in. We did finally get our lesson. And, it is soaking in...
I can’t wait to see/hear what the First Mouth has to say to the Europeans. This aught to be funny!
PLEASE, let us not refer to Mexico as one of our “closest allies” -— we are talking of a bloated socialist parasite that is simply happy to suck in our billions from sending so many illegal aliens into our land and screeching at us whenever anyone here dares to suggest we might enforce our own border.
Certainly Mexico is never an “ally” in any military sense — they will never stand with us in any dangerous international crisis. Don’t think they ever do to much for us diplomatically either. There is no “alliance” that I can see.
Bambi’s just looking for a place where the majority of the people approve of him.
GREAT point.
There you are, I told you so
Makes no difference where he goes
The whole world over just the same
Just listen to them call his name
And who would underestimate the actor now?
Face the facts, the Rainbow’s starting to fade
I don’t think he’ll make it to England now
It wasn’t on the schedule anyhow
You’d better get out the flags and fix a parade
Some kind of coming home in triumph is required
Citizen of the world Hussein plans to woo Europeans.
Meanwhile, Americans in North Dakota face the worst flooding in modern history.
Real sensitive, Hussein.
My bet all along has been Tehran.
[I can’t wait to see/hear what the First Mouth has to say to the Europeans. This aught to be funny!]
How do you say “Ich Bin Ein Berliner” ( I am a jelly roll) in Teleprompterese?
Has he even made a trip to ND? Bush would have been there filling a coupla sandbags. Meanwhile, BO is playing Mr. Hollywood/ lottery winner while people are losing their homes. Bush would have also at least called the Miss governor to express his concern over the tornado victims.
Mama always told me to watch out for laughing hyena telepromters who try to woo you.
No mention from the MSM on the Dakota flooding.
Hussein will claim global “something is responsible”.
ND. is not politically significant to the narcissist in chief.
