It's always news if it's in the East coast print press, you know the leaders of smear when they get distracted from actually reporting something newsworthy on the top fold of the front page crowd.  Well it too is note worthy when Ann Coulter gives rile to the omission viewpoint of news NOT told.  That is where after Barak Obama did his one time at John McCains' insistence to at least drop in on the troops in Iraq and subsequently tripped over some European countries to be familiar with those campaign questions to come and Youtube photos, what he missed was the quiet afterwards.   If you catch the news from web sites, then it's no secret that the EU has a 2X unemployment rate the USA, and that Berlin is almost 2X the EU at 17%.  So it is no wonder when in summer Barak had an audience of young folks with nothing to do that didn't cost money.  It is also no secret that Europe has petrol costs at the pump that would give most Americans a heart attack, somewhere between $5-$9 per gallon ~!  So when Barak got around to 'drafting' those young Europeans to be the fiscal escape for our troops in Afghanistan, that $10B/Month Bush/McCain military expense, these young Germans got smart real quick and started to use their feet to find an exit, just like soccer fans that don't want to be the 'trampled to death' crowd when things don't go right. About now the papers of repute have little follow up on the other side of the pond which omission is strong medicine for further enquiry...just like they don't do for the Iraq handover of Anbar Province...not going to happen until after the November election.  It's also not a story that they'll tell that the EU folks have figured out Barak on Old Energy...you've heard about his $1000 per house giveaway, that American BIG Oil pays more in taxes than they earn in America....those unemployed EU, so many under 30 haven't had a first job, unless they wear underware or expensive stuff in front of cameras/models; they're OK with high gas because they don't use the stuff directly,but have figured the 'Winddfall tax' that Obama talks about is not going to come from taxed out America that flounders with $4 gas, but them!  You see Barak Obama already has admitted to the World that his economic plan cannot get the spending from his broken Jimmy Carter like policy prescription, nor the 1% rich in this country, and has signaled that he needs many more willing contributors to his jolly Hugo Chavez minded governing to spend proposed Administration, but the folks in Europe already incapable of helping Poland fend off Putin' nuclear missle threats, aren't getting press about Baraks' funding reach!   They know that if Big Oil is being taxed beyond American profit levels that money is coming from somewhere else, and Europe with higher taxes is probably the most likely source of that revenue...Obama has our Allies in the crosshairs of their paychecks, they don't get to vote here, and someone ought to better shine the light around.
