Two Empty Suits

So...the Obamas went to Europe, charmed everybody, and accomplished nothing concrete. As the London Times reports:

Barack Obama made an impassioned plea to America’s allies to send more troops to Afghanistan, warning that failure to do so would leave Europe vulnerable to more terrorist atrocities. But though he continued to dazzle Europeans on his debut international tour, the Continent’s leaders turned their backs on the US President...The presidential charm offensive failed to move fellow Nato countries.

Telling Europe's leaders they've been right and we've been wrong charms them, no kidding. Charm isn't enough from a First Couple, we need results too.
