Special Relationship Over? Britain Talks of Boycotting America
FOXNATION ^ | June 13, 2010 | Jonathan Oliver

Posted on 06/13/2010 5:51:49 PM PDT by george76

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...

Let me be clear: I’m not normally in favour of boycotts, and I love the American people. I holiday in their country regularly, and hate the tedious snobby sneers against the United States. But the American people chose to elect an idiot who seems hell bent on insulting their allies, and something must be done to stop Obama’s reckless foreign policy, before he does the dirty on his allies on every issue.

Florida and NYC will be greatly harmed if the British tourists go elsewhere.

Falling right into the trap.........just damn!!!

The average Brit and their tabloids believed the BS...even after the bust of Winston Churchill was chucked out the back door.

Bammy & Rammy must be high-fiving their dissin’ of Israel & the UK over a Heinekin.

Brits, please be reminded that 0bama is not America (perhaps not even being an American) and does not represent the majority in the US.

“Brits, please be reminded that 0bama is not America (perhaps not even being an American) and does not represent the majority in the US.”

And remember that he hates you as much as he does us and is doing everything he can to tick you off.

“We gave America years of unwavering support after September 11. And now we see how Barack Obama’s administration repays us”

Bingo. In Obama’s universe, helping George Bush prosecute the war on terror earns the UK condemnation, not gratitude. Unfortunately the majority of Americans voted Obama in - but they’re wising up. Maybe its not too late to get back on track with our real allies, once we’ve hobbled him with a Republican Congress in November.

The Divine Clown is an aberration thrown up by some sort of bizarre spasm in our society. Tell the Brits to have patience as we can hopefully throw the vermin out in 2012.

He's most likely a British subject (Kenya). So in essence, they have one of their own spitting in their faces (and of course our faces as well).

Also not to nitpick but the Brits seem to have very short memories. They were all for us electing Obama before the election.

Yeah I remember the letter writing campaign to encourage Americans to vote for John Kerry. That didn’t work out too well thank God.
