“There’s a lot of -- I don’t know what the term is in Austrian -- wheeling and dealing, and people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics,†he said in response to an Austrian reporter’s question.
For all Obama’s success in conciliating the Danes and Turks, the NATO summit was far from an unblemished triumph for the new U.S. president.

THE Austrian dialect? There are something like 100 different Austrian dialects...just in case you need a factoid. :-)
