BLAIR GETS BUSH VOTE TO BE EU PRESIDENT Apr 17 2003
From Paul Gilfeather Whitehall Editor, In Athens GEORGE Bush has thrown his weight behind Tony Blair's bid to become Europe's first "super president".
He believes the PM can take on the role and help him demolish the "old Europe" alliance that tried to block the war against Iraq.
And Mr Blair risked angering other EU nations yesterday by insisting the new job must be created - because the US President wants it that way.
The row threatened to overshadow yesterday's historic summit in Athens, which saw the signing of a treaty to admit 10 new member states.
Irish President of the European Parliament Pat Cox said: "A new super president may risk raising expectations that cannot be realised and raise fears that cannot be allayed."
But Britain is determined to end the current system which sees the EU presidency change hands every six months.
Mr Blair wants more stability and a main man in Brussels to do business directly with America.
Downing Street admitted yesterday that the PM had raised the idea, although they deny that he wants the job.
-TONY Blair is to become the first non-American to receive the Ellis Island Medal of Honour in recognition of his role in the war on terror and support for the US.
