As if it matters, the LAT's Paul Richter writes this morning that Obama's reception in Europe has given President Bush "heartburn." "The tour has brought into focus how world leaders already are positioning themselves for a new American president," Richer says.
Any leader who may need to deal with a visiting leader in the future will treat that visitor well. What does it cost? Not much. What would Sarkozy or any other European gain by treating Obama poorly? Why would a European leader take that risk?
Europeans leaders are not taking sides in the American election. They dare not. They must work with whomever is elected. They do not love Obama. They do not hate Bush or McCain. To them, its strictly business.
