Public Affairs Section Stockholm – Press Release.
Fingers crossed for my Cotuit friend and fellow Cotuit Skiff sailor, Matthew Barzun:
“On June 19, President Barack Obama announced his intent to submit to the U.S. Senate for approval the nomination of Mr. Matthew Barzun to be the next U.S. Ambassador to Sweden.In reference to the nomination of Mr. Barzun and several others for ambassadorial posts President Obama said, “I am grateful that these fine individuals will serve in my administration and I am confident that they will well represent our nation abroad and help strengthen our relationships within the international community. I look forward to working with them in the months and years ahead.””
The Senate will do well by confirming Matteo.
Exciting! 4 years ago at a Burgess square dance Matteo tells me Obama is going to be President, of course I am like who? The Swedes are stoked.
