Sanger is a credible reporter. He reports on the President's inability to get new stimulus committment from the Europeans, on his new being, that is , wholly successful. Yet he gives the impression that the trip was largely successful and that the President has once again shown himself to be a wise responsible leader. No bravado and no threat, but rather responsible handling of business.

REMant queries: "Do we really want to be involved with tyrants and bribery forever?"
For an answer read, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man," by John Perkins.

What, indeed, is new about any of this? President John Quincy Adams, I recall reading, used to walk daily several miles along the Potomac by himself (and later the C & O canal, one of his own projects) and even go swimmming. For most of the first century of this country's existence ppl could walk into the White House, go up to the president's office and shake his hand. Now anywhere he goes he has an entourage of 500 including security services, two cars resembling tanks, two jumbo jets, and only the likes of Gordon Brown and Billy Graham get free immediate access. Getting on the car chiefs for flying around in Gulfstreams or whatever was certainly hypocritical. The Arab world reads weakness in this like they do our drone aircraft. Islam, esp, it seems, the Shia version, stands for decency, honor, and community, and is not some sort of smarmy behaviorism. They deserve respect as people - not seen as wayward children - and in return they will respect us for it. Do we really want to be involved with tyrants and bribery forever?
