Leaders in Europe seem pleased with President Obama's speech; but not so pleased that they jump at the chance to help. (Perhaps their reserve in such matters explains why they can afford things like socialized medicine [well, mostly afford], whereas the
US teeters on the edge of
bankruptcy even without.)
