...senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. Instead of tackling that failing - an obvious priority for this century - Europe has spent much of the past few months obsessing over how Washington views it. Obama has visited Europe six times since taking office, and made just one trip to China. But the U.S. President's decision to skip the Spain summit, and his failure to attend the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, has had Europe acting like a jilted lover.

He recalls a recent trip he took with his daughter to Utah to go skiing (something he often does nowadays). After a day on the slopes, he found himself drinking Scotch and talking to some "Wall Street guys" at the bar: "I looked them in the eye and said, 'You guys aren't worth it. Capital is overcompensated these days. It's un-American, and it's unjust.'" Spitzer thinks it's an outrage that the same bankers who brought down the world economy...
