He is a gl;pryhound and loves media attention. He has shown himself time and ime again o be all about promoting himself and generating a perfect public image, while tryign to lead a rock star/celebrity lifestyle. <br /><br /> I don't think, in his mind, he snubbed Queen Eliabeth or the King orf Norway, just as I don htink he actually bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia or the Emperor of Japan. Rarther, he bowed so the Camera coudl see him, in what he thought he was suppose to do. Its not like he bothered to learn protocol or anything, and he is just pl;aying President and making a show of his visits.<br /><br />But only when the cameras are preasent.<br /><br />Lunch withthe King of Norway does nothign to uplift his image, or so he thought, and doens't really land on camera anywhere. It doesnt prmote the Brand. is Audience with Queen Elizabeth was equelly void of media specticle.<br /><br />I beleive that his differential attitude is self serving, and while it has angered Americans it fits nicely into his own attitude.<br /><br />Besides, he is the type of man who enjoys beign the President and playing the role in order to fulfill his own vanity, but sometimes just doens't feel liek the formalities. He does what he feels like.<br /><br />I've always gotten the impressionf orm Obama that his whole wolrd revovles around him. So this really isnt much of a surprise.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-8036930263258957922009-12-11T15:55:10.508-06:002009-12-11T15:55:10.508-06:00Funny then how he found the time to fly all the wa...Funny then how he found the time to fly all the way to Europe to give a speech and pick up the award which he himself said he's done nothing to deserve. He also had time to sit down and have a beer with a cop and a professor over a case of hurt feelings. You really think the man does not have time to eat lunch? He has time to play more golf in 8 months than his predecessor did in 8 years, fly to New York for an evening out on Broadway, go to Martha's Vineyard for a vacation after his first few months in office, had time to record a video message for Ramadan just for Muslim-Americans, had time to go shopping while meeting Sarkozy in Paris and his wife even had time to fly from DC all the way to Chicago just to have lunch at her favorite dive. He has time to play basketball with his staff. He also has time to fly back to the US and then fly back to Europe again to speak at the end of the Copenhagen global warming get together. While in Norway he had time for a press conference with the PM, but he doesn't have time in his busy schedule for lunch with the King.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-91856221312455599902009-12-11T13:31:29.234-06:002009-12-11T13:31:29.234-06:00I think you are overreacting.

Obama is one of the busiest men in the world, and if he doesn't have time to attend a few events, well, then I guess his hosts must understand.<br />I am not a fan of Barack Obama. On the contrary, I don't like him and I think the US people made a terrible mistake by electing him as president.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-88281827704230944892009-12-11T08:16:40.631-06:002009-12-11T08:16:40.631-06:00I agree with your thoughts about this.
