As reported by the Greek media during the American presidential race, if Greeks were able to vote they would cast their ballots for Obama at a rate of eight out of 10 over George W. Bush.

However, now that he's in office, many, angered over what they consider to be a major snub, now seem to be questioning their "vote."

They are upset over concern that Obama has announced he intends to visit Turkey, and not Greece, in the near future.

Meanwhile, Greek diplomats are scurrying around in an attempt to secure a meeting between the American leader and Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, while, at the same time, trying to maintain a cool exterior.

"Greece has no reason to follow the dead-end logic of out-and-out competition with other countries," said a government spokesman. "It has been traditional for US presidents who want to visit Ankara to hold meetings in Athens as well."

In response to Obama’s Turkey trip, Greek diplomats are now pushing for Obama to hold talks with Karamanlis at the sidelines of a NATO summit this month.

However, diplomatic sources indicated that even if the meeting does take place, it will not be as wide ranging or as substantial as the talks that Obama is likely to have with Turkish officials. Athens is also concerned that the US president’s visit to Turkey will help elevate its status as a regional power.
