Obama and his country have fatally misunderstood each other. Most European Commentators do not get America. But once in a while they do get it right:
Obama understood his election two years ago as an endorsement to rewrite the social contract and to Europeanize America: expand State Healthcare, more Government in Energy policy, Education and Economy. However, tAmericans understood Obama’s election more as an order to restart the economy fast and to renew faith in America’s abilities. Obama and his country have fatally misunderstood it each.
