The president is a very good democratic president, probably one of the best ever.
Until the coming into action of the constitution, it is hard to consider that the democratic eu is able to act unilaterally since their global stance is the result of consultations made accordingly to a set of predetermined rules.
Once the constitution is on, this will be another story since foreign policy is one of the main advances in that new treaty, gathering the whole decisional power in the hands of a few. This mean that soon the democratic eu will be able to act unilaterally , more like a constituted nation rather than a patchwork of nations as it is now.
