President Obama has kicked off a four-nation tour of Europe, his first foreign trip since the death of Osama bin Laden. Obama is in Ireland today, followed by Britain, France and Poland. Protests are already underway in France, where Obama will join other heads of state for the G8 summit. On Saturday, thousands of people marched in the French town of Le Havre, just miles from the summit site.

Protester: “We would like things to change, for example, how wealth needs to be better distributed between the countries on our planet. And that is why we are here, to say that the citizens, the people of the world, have the right to speak up. Next week they will not have the opportunity to speak at all in all the planned meetings. That’s why we’re here today.”
