“I’ve come to Europe this week to renew our partnership,” Obama said.
“In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world,” Obama said.
Instead of celebrating Europe’s dynamic union and seeking to work with you, Obama said, “there have been times where America’s shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.“
“We got sidetracked by Iraq and we have not fully recovered that initial insight that we have a mutual interest in ensuring that organizations like al-Qaida cannot operate,“ he said. “I think it is important for Europe to understand that even though I am president and George Bush is not president, al-Qaida is still a threat.”
Is this what the President of the US should be saying on foreign soil about the US and a former President?
