L'AQUILA, Italy -- President Obama's debut performance at a G-8 summit is playing to rave reviews from his counterparts Friday, with Italian President Silvio Berlusconi telling reporters the American "has done everything absolutely right" on foreign policy so far.
"I was impressed but so were all our colleagues. I can tell you that we are all very favorably impressed with President Obama," he said.
The praise follows a day after the leaders gathered here for the Group of Eight leading economies summit greeted Mr. Obama with applause when he showed up for their traditional group photo.

This reminds me of a high school homecoming competition.
The typical snobby homecoming queen has everyone hating her, but people still end up voting for her because she is the top of the chain in high school politics.
Now there is a really sweet homecoming candidate who is really more interested in making sure that people like her and then everyone will be thrilled to vote for her to become Queen because she is so darn nice.
She is fooled into thinking that the same people who are impressed with her personality don’t want to be Homecoming Queens themselves and would do anything to knock her out of the running, even after being nice back.
This is Obama and the stupid libs.
These people want the Euro to be the top dog in the world and would gladly watch their good buddy Obama knock America out of the position. And Obama is so worried about his own standing, (not America, HIS own standing) he would stand by and let it happen.
A crude, but how I see it analogy.
The current live feed of a speech in Ghana by The One appears to be fed via tin cans and string on CNN.
Yep. And, he told them “yes we can.” Hey, it worked on us.
He is doing nothing to challenge them. He is either conforming to their wishes or they feel free to discount him. He’s a perfect American leader - a nothing.
All of these countries want to see America humiliated and Obama is doing a great job of that.
Well, gosh. That's a relief.
“World leaders: Obama doing ‘everything right’ so far” .... This is not good news for America, means America’s interests are ignored to further Obama personal (everyone loves me) and political(world socialism) goals. Well the Marxists (liberals) in this country will be happy. I hate it when that happens.
I hate it when liberal fascism happens.
They just love it when we grovel.
