Javier Solana, EU High Representative of CFSP | January 21, 2009
Granted: times are difficult for Obama to take the lead and in his hands lies a combination of high expectations and hope. ++ The US and Europe ought to continue working together and some key ingredients ought to accompany their responses to global challenges: multilateralism, ruled based diplomacy, legitimacy, and centrality of leadership when moments of crisis arise. ++ This last point is crucial for President Obama as "the US is not just another country and its president is not just another politician."
