Rove-Hannity-Cheney called it an "apology-tour"-Welch called it this:The idea … as masterful a speech as I've heard!!

Welch: No. But I think a lot of good things happened there. I think the [International Monetary Fund] funding was a good deal for the developing countries. And I think the idea of protectionism being knocked down was a big takeaway. I also think, on this trip, the president was remarkable. He didn't make one misstep. I thought his press conference yesterday in Strasbourg [France] was ... an incredible job. The idea of explaining American exceptionalism in the context of Europe was as masterful a speech as I've ever heard.
