Why Obama Is Ignoring Europe
Der Spiegel ^ | 2/9/10 | Katharina Peters

Posted on 02/09/2010 8:17:17 PM PST by Nachum

The relationship between the US and the European Union is cooling. By declining to come to Spain for a trans-Atlantic summit, President Barack Obama made it clear that Brussels is far down on his priority list. The reasons for that can be found in Europe.

The US president is traveling a lot these days -- and a clear pattern has emerged. The deeper into the United States it takes him, the better -- be it Nashua, New Hampshire or Tampa, Florida. The issue is always the same: How can Barack Obama create more jobs?

A guy who has never had a job probably isn't the guy we should look to to create any. What a phoney.

Ha Ha. No kidding. Post of the day on that!

Its like we are expecting the guy in the mail room to take over the CEO job after one day on the job.

Obama is utterly clueless and as a small business person myself, its embarassing knowing that I know more about basic economics than the POTUS.

Obama keeps stiffing the Europeans and treating them with contempt because he hates them. They are white male colonialists who, he thinks, abused his nice black Muslim ancestors. Winston Churchill jailed his poor old granddaddy for being a MauMau terrorist. The MauMau terrorists were the good guys, don’t you know?

Possibly he hates the Brits and the white Europeans even worse than he hates Americans. After all, they were the original white colonialist oppressors. America was a johnny come lately by comparison.

The thing Obama doesn’t get, is he CANT create jobs.

Only American individualism and freedom can do that, and he trying his best to sink that.

As far as coming to Tampa: He came here to try and bribe us with a high speed rail. But if he really had jobs in mind, he wouldn’t two days later have killed the space industry here in FL.

I can tell you right now Floridians are seething. And they aren’t going to be bought off by the rail.

Actually, if Obama were to henceforth spend ALL his time in Europe dealing with foreign affairs, it would probably help our job situation.
