Why Barack Obama doesn't much care for Britain
The Telegraph ^ | 12/8/2010 | Daniel Hannan

Posted on 12/08/2010 1:30:48 PM PST by mojito

Let’s review the evidence. President Obama received from Gordon Brown a pen-holder made from the timbers of a Royal Navy anti-slavery vessel, and reciprocated with DVDs. He silkily downgraded the UK from “our closest ally” to “one of our allies”. He gave the Queen an iPod full of his own speeches. He used the Louisiana oil spill to attack an imaginary company called “British Petroleum” (it has been BP for the past decade, ever since the merger with Amoco gave it as many American as British shareholders). He sent a bust of Winston Churchill back to the British Embassy. He managed, on his visit to West Africa, to refer to the struggle for independence, but not to the Royal Navy’s campaign against slavery. He has refused to acknowledge our presence in Afghanistan in any major speech. He has even come dangerously close to backing Peronist Argentina’s claim to the Falkland Islands. There’s no getting away from it: Barack Obama doesn’t much like Limeys.

What has he got against us?

gives a lot of credence to Dinesh D’Souza’s theory....I think about it every time O-bozo does something and it actually will make his crazy actions make sense...

Some will dismiss D’Souza as an angry conservative. In fact, until now, he has said nothing critical about his president. He is obviously uncomfortable with shrill attacks on Obama that alienated so many people (including me) at the 2008 election (”he’s a Muslim, he’s a Marxist, he pals around with terrorists, where’s his birth certificate blah blah”).

Oh yea, blah, blah, blah. So, where IS that damn birth certificate Mr. Hannon. This is not blah, blah, blah stuff, it is part of our Constitution for eligibility to become President of these United States which you may recall won independence from you Limeys a few hundred years ago. It is a very big deal hereabouts Mr Limey.

ZERO THE MAGIC NEGRO

Zero the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
And frolicks in his liberal world
In a Land of Fantasy.

He hates the stinkin’ White Man
And it’s Brits he hates the most
For they pillaged in his Homeland
Now haunted by African ghosts.

He covets all your riches
To pass out to his friends.
This evil, racist country has
Got to make amends.

No nation lives forever.
There comes the turning of the worm.
Now The One who pulls the lever
Can’t wait to make you squirm.

He’s Zero the Magic Negro
And he rules in D.C.
He wants to be the Hero
Of P.C. History!!!

This is explained in excellent detail in The Roots of Obama's Rage.

Don't forget the reason that Great Britain colonized Kenya in the first place: to force a recalcitrant country to give up the slave trade a generation after our Civil War ended.

It is likely that Obama's Daddy's ancestors (as much Arab as black, by the way), profited highly from the slave trade. Almost all descendants of former slaves in America trace their ancestry back to the countries along the west central coast.

Almost all of them were captured and sold into slavery by Muslim traders along Africa's east central coast, notably Kenya's Luo Tribe.

Mr. Hannan has admitted that he was fooled into believing that Obama was a moderate in 2008; he has since revised his opinion.

Obama’s the perfect example of why the “natural born” clause is in the Constitution. Natural born naturally means BOTH parents, which would prevent the kind of international ax-grinding attitude (since Obama is, actually, 1/2 Kenyan) which the author (through D’Sousa’s anti-colonial thesis) clearly illustrates is Obama’s problem.

That’s perfect!

I was in Europe years ago and I mentioned to a friend there that the French don’t like American’s and he just looked at me funny and said “Ahh don’t let that upset you, they don’t like anybody”.

Obama is not worthy to tie the shoelaces of Winston Churchill.
