But the award is in keeping with Europeans' behavior over these first nine months of Obama's presidency. They've gone gaga over the guy. In return, however, their crush is not quite being reciprocated. China, India and Japan are also collectively larger than Europe and may one day be wealthier as well. We owe most of our debt to non-Europeans, buy our energy from non-Europeans and seem to send our soldiers increasingly far from Europe. Obama's spurning of Europe reflects the new geopolitics. Obama poses as the multilateralist, defers to the United Nations and has criticized ossified Cold War-era alliances. Judging by his actions and words, Obama views American habitual protection of an allied but military defenseless Europe as, well, kind of passé. So get a grip, Europe. Stop it with both the silly fits and the lavish presents. You see, Obama's America is just not that into you. [end of excerpts]
