Europe Frustrated With Obama
While Europeans still support President Obama, they have lowered their expectations of what he will accomplish politically.

Speaking on HuffPost Live, Carnegie’s Jan Techau discussed President Obama’s trip to Berlin and the changing dynamics in European support for the American leader. He explained that while Europeans still support Obama, they have lowered their expectations of what he will accomplish politically. With regard to Syria, Techau explained that Obama’s tactic of “leading from behind” has cost both him and the United States a lot of credibility and that Obama therefore has to make a move in Syria. However, he added, since Obama does not want to get deeply involved in Syria, he will do something small. Techau concluded by saying, “Don’t expect anything game-changing from the United States.”
