A senior E.U. official feels as though this weekend’s G8 and NATO summits have been orchestrated to aid President Obama’s reelection campaign, according to the Reuters newswire today.
"On condition of anonymity," Reuters reported, "a senior E.U. official told Reuters it felt as if the Obama administration wanted the G8 to cooperate in the reelection campaign. ‘They see the debt crisis as the biggest likely drag on the U.S. economy between now and November,’ the official said, ‘and so they basically want to make sure that we find a way of muddling through.’"
