Since they pushed out Maggie Thatcher, the British Conservatives have kept moving further and further to the left, until now they seem to have a virtual Obama clone in power.

These jerks think that Obama and Hildabeast are foreign policy geniuses? What does that say about them?

Well, the UK, together with France, certainly was in the forefront of support for the Arab Spring and the war against Kaddafi, which installed Islamic terrorists in power all over North Africa. Smart move, guys.

Didn’t Obama repeatedly insult the British PM, and return the bust of Churchill first thing on getting into office? Well, I suppose they all hate Churchill, too.

I'm quite sure they dont think that the current administration are "foreign policy geniuses". In fact, I'm pretty sure they think the opposite. At the very least Obama's meanderings and over analysis give the impression of indecisiveness, which emboldens america's enemies and dismays and/or confuses the hell out of her allies.

Most Americans are very proud (rightly) of their country's pre-eminence in the world, but many don't think through all the implications of what that actually means. The USA IS the leader of the free world, and the rest of the west, although they occaisionally rail against that, all know it. It is vitally important to be friends with the American President. Note that carefully. The American PRESIDENT - the title, not the holder of the position. I'm quite sure British politicos were very put out by Obama's antics re the Churchill bust, and the trident missile scandal, and the wrong region ipod gifts. But, they won't ever say that out loud. They can't afford to upset the President. So they'll grin and swallow the insults.
