Which one?

"Robinson wrote the speech for President Reagan, including the famous "tear down this wall" line, and submitted it for review. The opposition to it from the administration's entire foreign policy establishment was uniform and adamant.

The National Security Council and the State Department were opposed, as was our highest-ranking diplomat in Germany. They felt it was too provocative and too unrealistic.

But, the president liked it."

Because you've got a bunch of beer swilling tobacco chewing red neck fans. They like watching cars racing around in a circle.

He was only a "Senator" for about a hundred days. What about the other forty-some years of his life?

And again, though his excuse was "he was running for president," he NEVER made it to Europe or even had a meeting as chairman of the subcommittee of European Affairs.

In other words: NO INTEREST IN THE EUROPEAN CONTINENT UNTIL HE HAD TO HAVE INTEREST FOR THE CAMERAS AND HIS FANS.

I'm a huge fan of beer swilling, tobacco chewing red necks. I can't get enough watching them when the cars are on the other side of the circle.

Well, that part wasn't a direct response to your statement. It's just my general opinion regarding some people's disgust in Obama's worldwide popularity.
