Anyone else thinkin Hillary is sittin back ROFLFAO at Obama?
Glenn Beck was commenting at length this morning about the absolutely outrageous treatment of PM Brown and his wife when they came in to worship at the altar of the Barackopolis. Mr. Brown brought a gift of pens crafted from the wood of the HMS Resolute - if nothing else, to match the desk in the Oval Orifice (made from the salvaged wood of the same vessel) which was gifted to the United States by the Queen of England - and what great in kind gift does Obamessiah have for the Browns in return? A giftbasket full of DVDs that aren't even formatted for viewing on British equipment, and two models of Marine One from the lobby gift shop for his boys.
One of the points he made about that whole debacle is that the State Department has entire divisions of people there who's whole job is to think up stately gifts for the President to give on behalf of the people of the United States at occasions like this. Glenn believes it was BarackStar! arrogance that fumbled the ball on this occasion, not listening to counsel he was given from the State Department. I'm starting to wonder if
MAYBE it wasn't BarackStar! arrogance, so much as it was Shrillary taking advantage of the Rookie's lack of understanding of the things he doesn't know about how to succeed at managing a government. It's entirely possible that she sat on her hands for this encounter, calculating that she could either use this as a bludgeon in the 2012 election cycle, or use it to demonstrate how much the Rookie needs her diplomatic "savvy", and believing that she could salvage US relations with the UK - the Brits are mad as hornets about Da Fuhrer's display of diplomatic density at the moment - at a later date.
