Der Spiegel - not enough Obama to go around
Mon, Jul 21, 2008
Wouldn’t this be a nice problem to have?
“The French and British feel that Germany is getting too much attention,” a source told SPIEGEL ONLINE. This could prove to be a prickly issue considering traditionally close British-American ties. The Brits are also an important part of the US-led alliance in Iraq. Resentment has been stirred in London because Obama is no longer starting his Europe trip in the British capital as was initially planned. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, for his part, has demonstratively pursued a path of political rapprochement with Washington following years of antagonistic relations between former President Jacque Chirac and George W. Bush.
