Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s see if I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got this straight. Barack Obama is a United States senator, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and his party\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s candidate for president of the United States \u00e2\u20ac\u201d and yet it was somehow presumptuous of him to meet with foreign leaders last week during his trip to the Middle East and Europe.<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never seen anyone so roundly criticized for such grievous offenses as giving excellent speeches and urging people of different backgrounds to take a chance on working together. How dare he? And 200,000 people turned out to hear him in Berlin. Unforgivable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
