A Couple of Gaffes From Overseas
Obama calls ‘Austrian’ a language – last time I checked Austrians spoke German… If this were Bush or Palin they would be replaying this gaffe over and over again!
The other gaffe to report on, which may be more aptly called a snub was while the Obama’s were in Prague.
The charms of a wonderful woman and a beautiful city are hard to beat.
So much so that Barack Obama will snub his hosts after arriving in Prague this evening in favour of a romantic Saturday night dinner with his wife, Michelle.
The Czech Republic is a stopover on the US President’s first tour of Europe because it currently holds the presidency of the European Union, which rotates every six months.
But rather than meet the country’s conservative leaders, with whom the President has little in common and who have been rather rude about the United States recently, the Obamas have decided to spend their only night in Prague soaking up the atmosphere.
Correct me if I am wrong here, but isn’t it a president’s duty to meet with leaders and isn’t that the point of this entire trip abroad? This isn’t some temporary gig – this is a full-time 24/7 job – I hope he begins to get that through his head at some point – but I won’t hold my breath.
