Does Obama Know the Difference between Great Britain and England?It is gratifying to see President Barack Obama condemn the disgraceful storming of the British Embassy in Tehran by thugs acting at the behest of the Iranian regime. After all, Obama has been notoriously slow in the past to criticise the brutal actions of the Iranian government after initially extending the hand of friendship to it. But did he really need to make another embarrassing foreign policy gaffe while doing so?In a press conference this evening, the president referred in stumbling fashion to the “English Embassy†in Iran instead of the British Embassy. One can only imagine the kind of howls of derision that would greet any presidential contender if that kind of basic error were made before, say, the editorial board of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.....
Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by this latest slip-up by President Obama. After all he recently described France as America’s closest ally, and famously declared that he has traveled to no less than 57 states. But it would be nice if the leader of the free world bothered to look at a map once in a while, or even paid a visit to the British Embassy in Washington, currently housing the Churchill bust that Mr. Obama unceremoniously threw out of the Oval Office soon after his inauguration.
From siding with Argentina on its call for UN-brokered negotiations over the sovereignty of the Falklands, to placing “a boot on the throat†of BP, Britain’s largest company, the Obama administration has downgraded relations with America’s closest friend and partner on the world stage. The Special Relationship still matters greatly on several key fronts for the United States, from the NATO-led operation in Afghanistan to the global war against Islamist terrorism. US-British military and intelligence cooperation remains vital to the defense of the free world, and cooperation between London and Washington will be imperative in standing up to an increasingly aggressive Iran. The White House will no doubt dismiss this latest faux pas by the president as a slip of the tongue, but it cannot disguise the fact that it has on many occasions treated Britain and other key allies with an air of disdain, and even contempt.
Obama is an ignorant, arrogant asshole. I still think there is something to the old rumor that he dislikes England based on the ideas of his father.
Hey, the Irish part of me laughs my ass off every time he kicks the English in the nuts.But the American in me can't help but be embarassed. This is the person Plugs Biden called "clean and articulate"? Yeah, not so much.
I think he is a dumb ass and has gotten by on his blackness.
Yeah, he rode affirmative action all the way to the White House. It wouldn't surprise me AT ALL to learn he hates all white people, including his own mother and grandparents. He obviously identifies more with his Kenyan family than the people who raised him.
He did say his grandmother was a typical white person. Whatever that is.The guy's an idiot.
To think of all the things he got a pass on because his absentee father happened to be black makes me want to hurl. Double standards as always, had any white politician referred to a "typical black person" all hell would have broken loose.
Two words: George Allen.And to this day, nobody knows what a 'macaca' is.
The MSM was niggardly in researching and reporting the meaning of the word.
