Garnering cheers from the French of all people, President Obama declared, "In America , there is a failure to appreciate Europe 's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive." Consider that Obama spoke these words just 500 miles from the beaches of Normandy , where the sand is still stained with 65-year-old blood of "arrogant Americans."
