5. We should care. You know the "goodwill thing?"
It seems as if "the HOPE leader" is morphing into "the DESPAIR leader" in record time and throughout the World Community. :(

6. Being impolite (sorta-kinda) to Norway affects in no substantive way our foreign policy.
It's a silly complaint.

9. If you turn on the news right now, you'd see the tens of thousands standing
outside the Obamas' hotel cheering them after a parade in their honor.

12. Enjoy it today because President Obama's POSITIVE influence while on the World's Stage is ...
taking major hits.

Not even Rahm can control the CONFLICTING messages.

18. Neither of those things are likely to be impacted by this.
It's a brief, stupid scandal, that will probably have the Norwegian and US media talking about it for a little while. It won't actually change much of anything.

4. No, but apparently he's pissed off the Swedes and they're acting belligerent.

14. What did they do? Force the President and Michelle to eat lutefisk?
Enquiring Swedish-American minds want to know.
