Obama Disses The British Prime Minister

Do you remember the special relationship that existed between our great president Ronald Reagan and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher? Wasn't it British Prime Minister Tony Blair who sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan to support the war on terror?

In less than two months in office Barack Obama has destroyed the special relationship that has existed between the United States and The United Kingdom for two centuries. Prime Minister Gordon Brown flew to the United States to hold meetings with Obama. In street parlance Obama dissed Prime Minister. Normal diplomatic etiquette dictates that such a visit should be accompanied by a formal state dinner and a joint press conference between the two leaders. Barack Obama was too busy implementing Socialism, spending our money and driving up the deficit to spend hold the required dinner or attend the press conference.

The British press and the British People are angry about this. Here is a link to an article in the Daily Telegraph.

The article contains an interesting quote from an unnamed employee in Barack Obama's state department, about the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom. This employee said ""There's nothing special about Britain. You're just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn't expect special treatment."

Do you think that we will get special treatment the next time that the US needs the support of the UK in this increasingly perilous world?

By the way Gordon Brown presented Barack Obama with a number of thoughtful, historic gifts. Obama gave Brown DVD copies of 25 Hollywood movies. I wonder if he bought them or if Brown will need to return them to Net Flicks.
