When is Obama returning?
No concern troll am I, but if he stays in Europe too much longer, he may look like he's having too good of a time overseas while we have real homegrown problems brewing back in the States.

Come back, Barack!

2. Anyone who thinks he's having too much fun is a genuine 24 karat moron
FWIW, I am not referring to you. :)

For one thing, international relations was another huge Bush mess that needs cleaning up. Strengthening or recreating close ties with other nations is an important part of the President's job. All those smiling photos don't show a Guitar Hero convention - they show the most powerful people in the world making nice for a change.

For another, if he IS having some fun, good for him! I can't imagine what kind of clueless idiot would think it does us any good at all to have a President who is overworked and starts making mistakes caused by nonstop stress.

3. I rather he make one big trip than several smaller trips over there.

Be more cost effective. And considering all the damage Bush has done in the last 8 years with foreign relations Obama is best served to mend as many fences as possible as early as possible.

4. Our financial domestic problems are tied directly to the international world of finance...
if we can't get foreign investors to continue to invest in the US,
we are truly fucked.
