Britons Wake Up To Realisation That Obama Is An Opportunistic, Vain Politician
Anorak News ^ | 11 June 2010

Posted on 06/11/2010 12:20:06 AM PDT by 11th_VA

BARACK Obama. What a ****. Not our words, not those of “sweetheart” Kayla Manson (no relation), but the opinion of the Mail which says The One’s posturing to the US electorate over the BP oil spill. As the headline yells:

“OBAMA IS KILLING ALL OUR PENSIONS”

Considering Obama views Britain in much the same way Great Britain views Gibraltar this is not too shocking. He stood Grodon Brown up for the scouts and loved the slave gift. The popular consensus is that £1 in every £7 in the nation’s pension pot is driven by investment in BP. Obama talks of slamming BP and we suffer.

London Mayor Boris Johnson, calls on Obama to end the “anti-British rhetoric, buckpassing and name-calling”.

David Cameron oozes out of a tap and drips:

“I completely understand the U.S. government’s frustration because it’s an environmental catastrophe.”

President Barack Obama says he’d have asked BP Chief Executive Officer Tony and want to find an “ass to kick”.

And so it came to pass that the Britons who thought Obama was The One are waking up to the realisation that he is a posturing, vain foreign man who takes the credit for all the good and none of the blame for all the bad.

Obama is not the Messiah, he’s a politician.

Meanwhile, Obama might care to get involved with the matter of Bhopal. Seven former executives of US-owned Union Carbide have been jailed for two years yesterday jailed for criminal negligence. The execs waited 25 years for justice to get them. And they can wait a bit longer because they were released pending a lengthy appeal. Thousands died and were maimed when pesticides leaked into the atmosphere. Union Carbide – no longer trading (it was taken over by Dow Chemicals) – was fined…£7,000.

Can Obama heal them?

Very true and well said.

At least us FReepers know we didn’t vote for him and we know damned well the fools in the US that did, and those overseas that were hoping this outcome. Tough shit in hooey-changey fantasy land, enjoy living in the house of cards you built, and believe us next time we tell you how stupid you are.

Some Brits were never fooled, though we were in a minority.

And whatever we thought over here - America elected Obama, no-one else, and as you say ‘the buck stops here’.

If the more liberal types in the UK are loosing their blinkers, that's all to the good and not to be spurned.

Brit bashing don't make any sense. I don't bash America and never will, because I know there are good people over there who see things right.

Kind regards

Well, they DID support him...they ADORED him!

That's right. You guys did. You voted for him. You should be ashamed. And now you are beginning to taste the unfathomable tears of your utter stupidity...

That statement may apply at DU, but not here. Why else would you be posting here, and not there?

235 years ...

No Almost exactly 200. In 1812 the British burned the White House (called the executive mansion at the time, it was only painted white to cover the fire damage). I'm thinking that by 2012 they might be ready to do it again.

britain has turned into a bunch of Chamberlains. I have become disgusted with them.

Cricket team told it can't call itself 'the Crusaders'...in case it offends Muslims and Jews

Teachers drop the Holocaust to avoid offending Muslims

Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Governmentbacked study has revealed. It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial.

SNIFFER DOGS OFFEND MUSLIMS

POLICE sniffer dogs trained to spot terrorists at railway stations may no longer come into contact with Muslim passengers – after complaints that it is against the suspects’ religion. The report follows trials of station security measures in the wake of the 2005 London suicide bomb attacks. In one trial, some female Muslims said the use of a body scanner was also unacceptable because it was tantamount to being forced to strip.

American Red Cross Symbol Offends Muslims: British Flag Offends Muslims A British member of parliament says that the symbol of the American Red Cross - the red cross - is offensive to the country's Muslims. MP's were already debating a symbol for the American Red Cross - maybe a diamond-shape - to remove the disturbing vision of what might be considered a Christian Cross - which might conjure visions of the - The Crusades. The Queen has her problems too. Muslims do not like the British Flag, known as the Union Jack. You see it has a cross also, and for those Muslims enjoying British hospitality, well they just can't handle that offensive flag and the "establishment" seems to be only too happy to accommodate.

A GULF War hero was banned from joining the police because he has a Union Jack and the words “British Army” tattooed on his arm. Proud Sgt Ivan Ivanovic was told the two-inch design could be seen as RACIST. Ivan was stunned as he has served Britain for 22 years, seeing action in the first Gulf War and playing peacekeeping roles in Iraq and Kosovo.

Inter Milan football strip 'offends Muslims'

A football strip worn by Italian team Inter Milan is at the centre of a legal row after a lawyer claimed it offended "Muslim sensibilities".

The List of Things That Offend Muslims This list is a work in progress. I welcome suggestions. Anyone who has more items to add to the list, post them in the comments. The intent of the list is to illustrate the futility of the multicultural approach to Islam. Sharia law demands submission not only from Muslims, but from non-Muslims as well. This makes respectful coexistence nearly impossible with Muslims in Infidel lands. The examples below serve as reminder that submitting to one complaint or another only emboldens Muslims to seek to further their ultimate goal of establishing sharia. The West needs to come to grips with this fact and start standing up for our God-given rights of free speech, free expression and freedom of religion, lest we surrender those rights to a theocratic movement bent on removing our Constitutional freedoms that we hold dear. In this case, our tolerance will lead to intolerance.
