They really hate Vaclav Klaus, don't they?

On a pedantic note, as Wiki explains:
---------------------------
Presidency of the Council of the European Union is the responsibility [sic] for the functioning of the Council of the European Union which is rotated between European Union member states every six months. There is no single president but rather the task is undertaken by an entire national government, hence that state influences the direction of European Union policy during its term. Although it rotates every six months... 

The Presidency, which is sometimes informally called the EU Presidency ...
---------------------------
Now let's compare and contrast the different descriptions of Nicolas Sarkozy and Vaclav Klaus on the official EU website:

On 21 December 2008, an article entitled Sarkozy to attend final summit as EU president continually refers to him as such: "French President Nicolas Sarkozy arrives here Monday for a Brazil-EU summit focusing on the financial crisis and climate change as he prepares to hand over the reins of the EU presidency. Monday's summit and his two-day stay in Rio de Janeiro will be his last as EU president, before handing the rotating position on to the Czech Republic... Tuesday will see Sarkozy ditch his role as EU president and hold more meetings ..."

Whereas on 1 January 2009, there is an article entitled Czechs take over EU helm, Slovaks embrace euro, which explains (somewhat more correctly) that "The two parts of what used to be Czechoslovakia took European Union centre-stage Thursday as the Czech Republic assumed the EU presidency..."

That is how slippery these bastards are. It's difficult to accuse them of downplaying Vaclav Klaus' role, because they are now being (more) accurate, and if we accuse them of overplaying the role of rabid EUphile (i.e. French imperialist) Nicolas Sarkozy they'll say "Oh, that's all in the past". The whole of the media are just as guilty of this of course, I hope that now I've pointed this out you'll start to notice it yourself.
