Ralph Peters on Obama's personal animus towards Europe
Ralph Peters has a great column detailing how Obama, who seems to love Europe-style socialism, doesn't seem to like Europeans too much. As Peters says:
"President Obama may be the least Europe-friendly occupant of the White House since James Monroe (the guy who put up a "Keep Out!" sign on our hemisphere). Bam clearly doesn't like Europeans."
Peters also points out some of Obama's clearly illogical (or Islam-centric?) views i.e. that Obama dissed France for not letting Muslim girls wear head scarves in schools or as Peters writes:
"That's rich. Our president praised the "wisdom" of King Abdullah, ignoring Saudi Arabia's hideous treatment of women, but whacked Europeans for insisting that heads -- and identities -- should go uncovered in free societies."
I think Peters has it right... I myself have noted and blogged on the fact that Obama seems to really dislike England and has problems with Angela Merkel of Germany. I kind of thought he was OK with France, but on this most recent trip he blew off the Sarkozys on a dinner invitation. The European press will start savaging Obama long before the U.S. press ever will (or would) so I look forward to that beginning, and I think it won't be long.
