The special relationship is over. We gave America years of unwavering support after September 11. And now we see how Barack Obama’s administration repays us.
First, Obama declared that America was “neutral” over the sovereignty of the Falklands, ignoring the clear wishes of the islands’ population. And, second, his Assistant Secretary of State, Philip Crowley, snubbed Britain by failing to use their proper name and instead calling them the “Malvinas”.
I don’t know where Obama learned about diplomacy, but his stinks. I’m normally pro-American, but Mr Obama’s seeming support for Argentinian aggressors, who have no legitimate claim over the Falklands, is gratuitously offensive. So from today, I’m boycotting America as a tourist destination. This summer, I’ll be going to France, not California.

Think someone there will take a look into the British birth records?
“Is there any democracy that this administration will not pi** off or any tyranny that they will not suck up too?”
No.
Dont you know England is the enemy now? The British were the imperialists par excellence, always the bugbears to the Marxists. Lenin was terrified of ‘em!
I bet the Mossad, for one, might have some birth records.
Obama is of course, pandering to South America and the legitimacy of either claim is irrelevant to him.
But OBAMA is NOT America.
And to forget WW1 and WW2 when we pulled YOUR Chestnuts out of the fire, over a dispute involving a handfull of tiny Islands in the Atlantic is laughable.
Have fun in France.
My guess is you never liked us much anyway.
I repeat OBAMA is NOT America - not now, not tomorrow, not EVER!!!
Odumboi thinks we don’t know he hates colonial England for what they did to his homeland. Next time America, lets say we stick to America Presidents.
The guy should still come to America, but go to a Red State.
From your lips to GOD’S EARS!!!
I wish the Mossad WOULD get copies of this bastard’s birth records and release them.
“Is there any democracy that this administration will not pi** off or any tyranny that they will not suck up too?”
You have to realize, white Europeans are disdained by this administration. Just as white Americans are.
Hate to tell our British friends, but all of bammy’s hate toward Britian is because he is Kenyan not American. The real pyschological thriller is why does a man identify with his deadbeat Dad (sperm donor) and not with his mother, and more importantly grandmother. You know, the people that actually “loved and supported you”? Answer this question and then you will understand bammy. So far, I cannot posit a convincing answer, but I have this thingy about being loyal to those that nuture and help me.
I thought England was in love with our dictator
Well someone is a Muslim and the UK Labour Party helped by the Lib Dems and Tories has Islamified the UK.
Beware Rupert Murdoch and his Saudi pals who have ownership in Fox News. Murdoch supported Tony B-liar who is responsible for the Islamification of the UK. Murdoch’s news papers supported the Scottish quisling Bliar.
It is pitiful....The O has embarrassed us over and over in regard to this steadfast ally. It makes me sick.
We have to endure until 2012...and hope we can repair not only this relationship, but the entire face of this nation that the O has shredded.
The libs there were - until he said “Malvinas”.
When you respond to one of those Islamdon sucking, anti-gun liberals overthere, remember - the password is “MALVINAS.”
Obama also returned a bust of Winston Churchill to Britain after he was elected, and has pointedly snubbed the British Government time and time again.
How many slights and insults are enough?
I love it...hadn’t seen this before. Really says it, doesn’t it?
IIRC, the Brits by a HUGE margin were in lust for 0bama, just like their Euro brethren. We, the conservative movement, tried to tell others 0bama was going to be an unmitigated disaster on all fronts, but they, along with 53% of voters in this country, ignored us. They wanted “hope” and “change.”
I’m boycotting Obama! Every time one of his commercials pops on the TV or the radio, I change the damn channel!
I don’t know where Obama learned about diplomacy, but his stinks.
As a community organizer you learn everything you need to know to be the most powerful man in the world. Only in America!
Shame on P.J. Crowley for calling them the “Malvinas.” He knows better.
Sorry Brits but since you chumps were pulling for this guy in overwhelming numbers I can only sit back and smirk whilst saying HOW DO YOU LIKE HIM NOW?
We need a 10 million man march on Washington NOW
0bama will make it up to them by giving another thoughtful gift. This time, maybe he can give Liz a nice second-hand “World’s Best Queen” coffee mug, courtesy of Barney Frank.
Yeah? And, we saved your sorry asses from speaking German.....TWICE!
Perhaps if we offered this gentleman a gift of, say, a set of DVDs of classic movies, he would re-think his “boycott America” plan?
For the Brits to understand what is going on with Obama, they have to understand that he hates America even more than he hates the UK.
It is much worse for us though. We are the direct recipients of his hatred. Particularly if you are of white European extraction.
I agree!
The comments at the end of the article are very interesting.
To our British friends; It’s not the regular American that does not support British interests, it’s the hideous left and the leftist media.
Love this post under the article:
“Most of the Americans I have met over the years, whether as visitors to the UK, in the USA, or in some more-or-less dreadful hell-hole elsewhere, have been thoroughly likeable, generous and decent people. They are resourceful and clever; and indeed, I take pride in my membership of the American Society of Civil Engineers. Unhappily, they have allowed themselves to be sufficently taken in to vote for this third-rate socialist pipsqueak with an oversize chip on his shoulder.
Having seen my compatriots thrice return one of the worst governments ever to hold office in a purportedly democratic nation (and to remain yet in some doubt as to their resolve emphatically to eject them the fourth time around), I have to say that we are as a nation in no position to offer judgments. My feelings towards the Americans must – in common charity – be one of sympathetic pity.
Let us hope that our trans-Atlantic cousins can limit the damage (at least they can clip his wings a little come the mid-term elections in November), and wish them well in their enterprise. In the meantime, let us set our own house in order, and dispose of these neo-Stalinist deadlegs and their grubby little scumbag leader Brown. Son of the manse meets Hawaiian Mau-Mau? I am sure I would never have given him a set of cruddy DVDs.”
You'll burn out the remote before the week is up.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I am pro-American myself ( being a **NATURAL BORN** American).
Yeah! Our communist usurper sitting in the White House stinks! And...By the way, if he isn't a natural born citizen he can't be president. He is a criminal fraud!
Hopefully, Great Britain will come up with some certifiable evidence at just the right moment that will throw this fraud (strutting about in his Commander in Chief costume) in prison for life.
Oevil makes Charlie Manson look like a statesman.
He's gonna see that we get free bandaids on our tumors, though.
One of the first things Obama did on assuming the presidency was to return a bust of Winston Churchill that had been in the Oval Office a long time. That disrespectful move should have alerted Brits as to what The Great Spreader thought about them. The irony is rather stark considering how popular Obama was with the Brits before the election. Now that Obama is grinding his heel in their faces, they might think differently.
We Americans should ask the author, via an open letter in the Telegraph, that if we start an armed uprising against Obama and his fascist thugs in Washington, will the Brits send in troops to help us overthrow these tyrants?
We helped save England’s ass from the fascists in WWII, so now it is time for them to return the favor.
We need to actively start organizing militias and prepare for civil war... Obama must be stopped. Each day that passes proves that the only way we will rid ourselves of these tyrants is through the barrel of a gun.
It truly is becoming crystal clear that this fascist cabal is a malignancy that will NEVER surrender power. I seriously doubt we shall make it to the 2012 elections. If in one year these fascist pigs have done so much damage to us domestically and abroad, then think what we shall have by 2012.
No. No election is going to stop these people. Only the force of arms... and the sooner Americans come to accept this truth and act upon it, then the sooner we will be able to restore our republic.
A majority of Americans say the United States is less respected in the world than it was two years ago and think President Obama and other Democrats fall short of Republicans on the issue of national security, a new poll finds.The Democracy Corps-Third Way survey released Monday finds that by a 10-point margin -- 51 percent to 41 percent -- Americans think the standing of the U.S. dropped during the first 13 months of Mr. Obama's presidency.
The polling firm is James Carville's firm, definitely NOT a right-leaning organization! Seems that Americans - and now Europeans - long for the "cowboy diplomacy" of George W. Bush. Obama's hurt our standing, not helped it...
Love your post. I think we need to remind this guy of how much the British loved obama during the election. Wonder how their liking that hope and change thing?
Because he is embarrassed by his trashy, ho of a mother.
“Wonder how their liking that hope and change thing?”
Beautiful!!
“But OBAMA is NOT America”
Obama is not American
I think one can remain pro-American but anti-Osama. We do it everyday :-)
Maybe we can send 0bama to the U.K. to be their king. He certainly thinks he’s ours.
And so I feel compelled to ask this of the Brits and Euros and everyone else feeling “dissed” by the POS 0bama —
Miss Bush yet?
Because he is embarrassed by his trashy, ho of a mother.
I had that thought, by why not honor his Grandmother versus honoring his father? Gran mama was the one that provided the money (and supposed love) that put him in position to move up. I think the anwer is probably along the lines that all the people in his life were pretty detached from feelings so bammy found that being of “excentric” origins to be a plausible way to be accepted. Here note, that his terms of acceptance to others is (1) he is unique, (2) he is exotic, and (3) he can play the race card to avoid objective standards. Not sure this is a complete answer, but its what I see as plausible so far. I am not a pyschologist, but I did stay at a Motel 6 once.
Mr. Singleton:
We, the American people, have in no way forsaken our special relationship with you, the British people. We are going through a rough patch now. But trust us to fight. Join us. This is the time to continue to stand with us -— we need you!
And, yes, we will never forget the steadfastness of your friendship in the dark days after September 11th. Thank you.
