The Untold Story: Barack Obama’s Trip Abroad

The media gave us the entire positive side about Obama's adventure abroad. But what happened behind closed doors?

We may never know for sure, but in my column today, I put forth some possibilities. Excerpt:

Germany: Obama meets with Chancellor Angela Merkel, opening, “Angie sweetie, don’t worry, I’ve been opposed to the Iraq War from the start too, so high five!”

Merkel, looking at Obama’s waiting hand, asks him, “You do realize I was happy with the invasion, right?”

Obama: “But what was the big fuss about Old Europe being virulently anti-war and anti-Bush?”

Merkel: “That was the guy before me. And by the way, you’re not speaking at the Brandenburg Gate.”
