Another disastrous effect of an impotent Obama presidency. He abandoned freedom and American sovereignty, and so free nations abandoned their own sovereignty.
Czech president becomes last EU leader to sign treaty
Czech President Vaclav Klaus on Tuesday became the European Union's final leader to sign a bitterly contested Lisbon reform treaty into law after the country's top court said it did not conflict with the constitution.
The Lisbon Treaty calls for the naming of an EU president and foreign policy supremo and aims to speed up decision-making in the 27 nation bloc.
But it has been held up by two referendums in the Irish Republic, legal challenges in other countries and delaying tactics by European politicians like Klaus who oppose closer integration.
Klaus, under growing pressure from other European leaders, said he signed the treaty into law only hours after the Czech Republic's Constitutional Court rule that the treaty is legal.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said after the court's verdict, "I hope that (ratification) can be done very soon and I hope that Europe can set aside years of constitutional and institutional debate... and that we can move forward and deal with the main issues that the European Union must now face."
European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso also said "no further unnecessary delays should prevent the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty."
Last year John Bolton said: Lisbon Treaty will undermine democracy Telegraph
The Lisbon Treaty poses a threat to Nato and undermines democracy by handing more power to Brussels.
Mr Bolton has previously warned the deal threatens Britain's special relationship with the United States and yesterday said he would not understand the Irish giving "more powers to bureaucrats."
He added: "The only people you elect have a very limited role and I think this treaty will further enhance the power of institutions in Brussels without extending democratic authority to people."
Speaking before he delivered a speech on transatlantic relations at University College, Dublin, Mr Bolton warned the Treaty could "undercut" Nato, something that would be a "huge mistake".
He argued that if the EU has its own military capability, people will think Nato is redundant and Europe "can take care of their own defence".
Last year Ireland voted no. Well one year later, Ireland caved.
And now Poland. Clearly Obama's abandonment of Eastern Europe has sent Kaczynski running into the arms of the greater of two evils.
