Excerpt:
British journalist James Delingpole, a columnist for the Telegraph, is angry about the state of Anglo-American relations. And he lays the blame right square at the designer shod feet of Michelle Obama.
“I was asked for my reaction as a true born Englishman to President Obama’s double insult - first the sending back of the Winston Churchill bust, then his snub to Gordon Brown.”
“Britain’s friendship,” Delingpole continued, “is something Obama will come to regret having dispensed with so lightly. This was not the act of a global statesman, but of a hormonal teenager dismissing her bestest of best BFs for no other reason than that she felt like it and she can, so there.”

Hey, works for us. :) The Brits may soon be able to say what we cannot.
Their media sometimes reports what ours won’t already!
Just one more piece of evidence as to how clueless our President is...and don’t even get me started on his economic policies...
Yes isn’t that ironic!
There’s a lot of delusion and self-censorship in the British Press too.
So far I can only see the Telegraph reporting on Obama’s snub-DVD-gift.
I have no sympathy for the Brits. The mass demonstrations against Bush as late as June 2008 during his State visit to the UK was an affront to all Americans. The Brits just want to use us as surrogates for their foreign policy since they no longer can afford to be a relevant power.
Obama a hormonal teenager, and Michelle Obama is Lady McBeth. How appropriate.
Maybe you didn't hear, but The One secreted twenty friggin’ five DVDs of our coolest movies into Brownie's luggage.
If that doesn't say BFFs, then I don't know what does. It's not like a Lowes $25 gift certificate, 25 DVDs totally costs a lot of money, especially at Obama’s pay grade.
Now that's diplomacy I can get behind!
LOL, the sitting president has NO ‘couth’ at all.
Like I have been saying, he does not know U.S. History!
Which is why WE have to promote the reading of The Constitution, The Federalist Papers (and the Anti-Federalist or ‘States Rights’ Papers) AND use them when in discussion with others.
As The Constitution says . . . and The Federalist Papers explain . . . ! ALWAYS use these in emails and letters to your CongressCritters. Make their office staff do a little reading.
Thank you, off soap-box for now.
Which is another reason why President Obama didn’t hold a joint press conference with Prime Minister Brown...he controls our press corps, but he doesn’t control the international press corps.
Well be blasting out the DVD gift story this morning.
I do not understand all of these international mistakes. Yes, Obama doesn’t have a clue about gifts, etc..but he has the Clinton Whitehouse behind him. These people should know.
The return of the Churchhill bust was a slap in their face..and it just keeps coming...
Whoa, Michelle’s taken Hillary’s Lady MacBeth crown!
Reading the part, “Obama a hormonal teenager, and Michelle Obama is Lady McBeth. How appropriate” caused me to just go and change out the photo. Go back to the article and I think the new photo reflected the hormonal teenager all over Lady McBeth. What do you think?
Id be willing to bet that MammaBama never heard of Lady MacBeth.
Yep, no sympathy here either... They were rooting for Mr. & Mrs. MacBeth last year to come ‘save the planet’.
OK we know that the DVD’s weren’t Blue-Rays. But did they contain all the cool features like “The making of”, the revealing interviews with the actors, the directors commentaries? Extra versions of the trailers for the movies? Lot of extra value there. C’mon.
works for me. these two are going to make the Clintons look like saints. (wow! Did I really just type that! Sheesh)
