FOB are always appropriate. And if they are not, toooooo bad. He WON. He will do anything he wants. Ms Wintour too frosty for an Ambassadorship? IIRC, Obama detests the British even though his brother says that Kanya was better when the British were in control.

“Ms. Wintour, who was awarded an OBE...”
OBE = Out-of-Body Experience? I feel like I’ve been having one since January 20, 2009.

I remember when Ambassadors actually had to have people skills.......boy, I'm old. You were around before Wm Jenning Bryan offered the Ambassadorship to Russia to "deserving Democrat" Henry M Pindell, editor of the Peoria Journal? You are old.

Mayhap she is a graduate of the Ambassador Training Institute.

I remember when Jimmy Carter appointed former South Dakota governor Richard Kniep ambassador to Singapore. Kniep, while a popular governor, was a former milk cooler salesman who had never been out of the United States in his life.

Well, if MI5 or MI6 ever need a liaison with the US over military cooperation or counterterrorism, it’s good to know that from our side we can discuss ladies’ fashion.
Another Obama triumph.
Not content merely to make us look bad, Obama wants to make us look like utter idiots.
And he’s doing marvelously well, thank you very much.

Isn’t there the small problem of her dual-nationality? I know she took American citizenship, but has she formally renounced her British citizenship too? It could be a bit of a conflict of interest to represent your new nation with the nation of your birth, even if they are an ally...
To: Oztrich Boy
LOL...not that old but I'd say pre-Clinton, there were requirements other than high profile support of a Presidential candidate.

“...Ms Wintour, who was awarded an OBE for services to British journalism and fashion in 2008,...”
Isn’t there a line in the US Constitution saying our public officials are not supposed to accept foreign knighthoods or orders? Is this one more liberal instance of trashing the Constitution?

Anna Wintour is literally the personified, spitting image of Obama’s inner white bitch.
