Czech dinner snub

Prague 1700

President Obama has declined the invatation of dinner with President Klaus in Prague Castle. When I met the Czech president some time ago he was charming but I can understand that a tete-a-tete with Michelle might be more appealing. The First Lady and her husband will be eating modern Czech cuisine in a romantic top restaurant. I don't know what the Czech head of state will be doing but it's clear his lack of belief in climate change, and support for President Bush doesn't go down well at the new White House. I promise something more substantial before the end of the tour but my laptop has gone to a better place and my thumbs ache from typing on a fat phone.
