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.

yup
Their support for him was crazy and he threw them all overboard right after he won. I wonder if they think of that?
The only supporters he kept were just the Muslims. The rest of his 'crazy' supporters are now fish food.
He makes me want to boycott him.
? The Falklands are an English speaking zone, settled by people of UK ancestry.
I agree-I also remember that the Brit’s supplied the VC with weapons when we were fighting there.
Ditto that “Yup”
Me too...
Freepers, remember when the libs did that apology thing after Bush was elected? Maybe we should do one now.
Obama must have given him last minute instructions to be sure to bow to this turd.
Trouble is its us here in America who have to put up with him destroying our country on a daily basis, not them.
buh bye, wanker
Take Gordon “Uriah-Heep” Brown and “Sir Paul” with you and enjoy those snails
the euro-libr chattering classes endlessly bashed the good honorable Goerge Bush as a rube and voted for man-of-the-world soetero
be careful what you ask for, you might get it
They were so thrilled with Obama during the campaign. Barely anyone here, or over there batted an eyelash in the media about his ties with terrorists - both domestic and foreign! Now all of a sudden they want to hurt the people here even more by boycotting? We’ll be sure to return the favor I’m sure. Just don’t come calling us when there’s rioting in Londonistan from your radical Muslim population - I think we’re going to be busy here at home.
In the meantime, I’ll still pray for the British AND the American troops (as well as all allied forces) fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world.

But, but... at least he’s been to a library. Right, you arrogant Brits?
To king obuma and his racist klan, the Brits are just another land filled with honkys. Now go eat your white bread, cracker.
A guy I know just moved to the UK on a corporate transfer 6 months ago or so. He recently commented on all the Obama/US bashing going on there. I told him to be sure they know we really appreciate all the support they gave Obama in the election run-up, and to ask if they think that was wise on their part, given the impending BP takeover/takedown, the Queen’s iPod thing, the Falklands thing, the Churchill Bust, etc.
Whats with all the friggin bowing? We are Americans, we shouldnt bow to anyone.
These people are so unbelieveable. They might as well burn the flag with those Hamas thugs and offer Iran and North Korea hugs and kisses.
The most inept, pathetic excuse for a President the world has ever seen.
Incompetence exemplified.
