The complicated

It could not have been said any better. Unfortunately, the damage done is difficult to repair. All diplomatic efforts to obtain an invitation for Grybauskaite to the White House have fallen on deaf ears. With Obama winning, Grybauskaite probably would be more successful in securing during the next four years an invitation to visit Kremlin than the White House.

Only way the Lithuanian president would see the inside of the White House would be in a tourist tour
I remember at the time an Obama aide saying that the only way the Lithuanian president would see the inside of the white house would be in a tourist tour.. But I think she is forgiven now :)

Not some friends’ dinner parties where she can choose to go or not
Fully agree with the Editor, it’s not a right thing to do. Grybauskaite represents the country in the World and this event must be not taken as some friend’s dinner parties where she can choose to go or not.
