6. Yep-AFP: "Obama hits back at Euro snub rumors"
by Stephen Collinson Stephen Collinson – 29 mins ago

WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama is hitting back at "very wild" rumors that key US allies like France and Germany feel they are getting short shrift from the breakneck pace of his global travel.

Twice in as many days, Obama had to address whispers in the European press that all was not rosy in his relationships with French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

On Saturday, a reporter asked the president whether Europe was low on his priority list, following newspaper reports he turned down a private dinner with the French president after 65th anniversary D-Day commemorations.

"I have a very tough schedule and I would love nothing more than to have a leisurely week in Paris, stroll down the Seine, take my wife out to a nice meal, have a picnic in Luxembourg Gardens," Obama said, pointing out that he was caught up in dealing with the pressing financial crisis at home.
