“The media is pretty rough in Britain - especially the tabloids.
They will be after him now that they feel slighted. They were slighted.

And they were the only ones that seemed to notice that he is (possibly?) not a Natural Born Citizen!”

Through this site, I read reports in both “Pravda” and an Aussi newspaper about the birth certificate issue.

It's absolutely incredible! I can't believe it!

The clueless moron actually gave the Head of State of our number one ally a phakin box of John Wayne movies.

You can't make chit like this up!

Hey Europe, How you liking your President now?

to advise the White House on diplomatic protocol ?

Many in Britain are seeing this as entirely gauche and indicative of the low esteem in which the Obama’s hold England.**

They are right on both counts.

The US media ministry of information has waaaaaaay to much invested in obama

That's a really good point.

In view of the way Zero is pointing the economy, maybe it should be the "Commissariat of Information".

And, it’s just plain tacky. I really don’t want a tacky first family doing things on my behalf.

While I understand how it is offensive to you, as a Christian, since I know who the real Messiah is, it doesn’t bother me when people use sarcasm to point out what a fake the fake Messiah is.

Another reason - Churchill had nasty things to say about Islam.

From what I remember of Carter, as inept as he was, I never detected that he intentionally tried to be unfriendly to other countries.

On the contrary, he was quite enamored of Soviet slavemaster Brezhnev, hugged him and declared they shared the same vision for the world.

It was his own country he was unfriendly toward.

I think Gordon Brown’s second gift was absolutely INSPIRED!
The 7 volume biography of Winston Churchill...

After the Newsbusters article noted the Brits were (naturally) offended that one “President” Hussein’s first acts was to return the bust of Winston Churchill which has been in the Oval Office for some years, my first thought was,

“This Gordon Brown is REALLY subtle - B. Hussein will never know he’s suggesting that Brown doesn’t even know who Churchill is!”

That might explain all of the ums and other verbal time buyers. I guess he’s trying to read stats and such. I find his verbal style to be extremely irritating. He always sounds like he’s making something up on the spur of the moment.

Tacky and classless. Barack is not JFK, and Michelle is not the new Jackie O.

"There is only one Messiah and that is Jesus Christ. Posts like yours are offensive to me as well to many other Christians."

You need to get a grip, and realize that when folks use the term "Messiah" in reference to B. Hussein Obama, they're using what we call "sarcasm."

As my father said “It must not be too big a deal, I haven’t seen anything on the news about it”.

There ya go, Obama’s propoganda machine churning away. And stupid Americans will sit back in a few years and wonder why the “nice” countries in Europe and Canada hate us still.

What’s interesting is that I believe the Mau Mau was spearheaded by the Kikuyu Tribe, which is a rival tribe to Obama’s Luo

Interesting but irrelevant. This a**hole is supposed to be the President of the United States, not some bunch of African tribesmen.
