Having actually been to most of those places, I can assure you that Europeans thank GOD Obama is there instead of George W. “bring it on” Bush, who fondles leaders of state at major meetings on camera and apparently needed a wire for his debates. We had NEGATIVE credibility. Now we have some.
I hope all this attention continues to embarrass the President, All of the Kangaroo court judges that have their secret proceedings, and any congressperson that thinks the Patriot act was good law.
We need to take these powers away from the government (granted in the Patriot act) and give back liberties to the People of the United States.
Motive is right about what Europe thinks of Obama compared to Bush, but it’s not just Europe, it’s most of the rest of the world. .The reason is steady, even-handed, and thoughtful leadership compared to the shoot-em-up, kneejerk reactions of the previous administration that resulted in hundreds of thousands of innocent deaths at a cost of trillions and resulting in the near collapse of the major economies of the world.
Interesting that Putin was willing to give Snowden refuge on condition that he “stop harming our American partners.” That doesn’t sound as if Putin is poking the eyes of America. Sounds more like, what – fear, respect, international co-operation? One thing certain, Fox News isn’t giving it much coverage.

Just to change the subject, this is a great cartoon. Kallaugher once again demonstrates what genius looks like in cartooning.
