The more of these sniveling (and, amusingly, poorly informed) pieces like this Der Spiegel item, the better, I say. And I hope Drudge links to every one. Europe has every reason to believe in Obama’s deep and — they hope — overwhelming desire to do whatever it takes to make Europeans love him, and the motive behind this cold petulance is obvious. I believe the psychologists call it “withholding affection.” Though I wish they’d not be so brazen about it, as even he might realize what’s going on.

But the condescending anger with which our righteous superiors let America know just where they think we belong in the world — and how they just can’t believe we won’t behave — tells readers even more than we here can hope to do.

So keep it coming, Europe, straight through the COP. (Did you catch among the side-linked stories by Euro counterparts that the Copenhagen jails are too full so that they don’t know what to do with all the rioters next month to whom we’re supposed to listen? And that the carbon-offset regime on which the entire Kyoto enterprise and U.S. cap-and-trade are premised is a big swindle?) Keep it up through the spring, right up to that turn in the road where Sen. John Kerry has kicked the cap-and-trade can — now that Democratic pols are terrified about losing elections that are still decided by those wretchedly self-interested and commonsense American voters. Somehow this lack of political will on Capitol Hill is all Obama’s fault. OK. Just like it was Bush’s.

Keep it coming.
