The Europeans loved Obama back then.  I wish they had elected him.

As I recall the Europeans went gaga over candidate Obama. They even gave him a Nobel Peace Prize for essentially getting elected. I put this on the same level with the "every kid gets a trophy" mentality. Where's the love for Obama now? Essentially the Europeans-especially the Germans-idolized this guy at a time when Americans didn't really know his name. Liberals fell in line with the idea that whatever Europe likes is great for us. So excuse me if I have little love to spare for the EU.
