When the President flew into Copenhagen last week to save Chicago’s bid for the Olympics, he hastily added a few extra diplomatic tasks to his itinerary.
The White House followed long-standing procedure and issued a press release to let the media know the president’s schedule for the day.
If the Bush White House had issued this press release, the left would have used it as proof that everyone in the administration was an idiot. Especially George Bush. But we’ve yet to see that argument made about the Obama White House press release.
Here’s what the press release said:
The President will arrive in Copenhagen, Denmark in the morning. The arrival at Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup is open press.
The President and the First Lady will then travel to Christiansborg Palace. They will be greeted by HM Queen Margrethe II and HRH Prince Consort Henrik. There will be a travel pool spray. The President will meet Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen. There will be a pool spray at the top of the meeting.
Don’t look now, Mr. President, but that the wrong Rasmussen. Lars Løkke Rasmussen is the Prime Minister of Denmark. Anders Fogh Rasmussen is Secretary-General of NATO.
But you know how it is. All those Danes look alike.

You've also got to blame Hillary's State Department for this. It's got to be a diplomatic slip up as well.
I agree with your post but Anders Fogh Rasmussen is Secretary-General of NATO an not the United Nations. Anders Fogh Rasmussen used to be the prime minister of Denmark until he got appointed to NATO.
