There seems to be an assumption that left wing statists are intrinsically tolerant and un-biased. This is hardly true; just consider the true Yankee attitudes towards blacks – both before and after the subjugation of the (supposedly racist) South. No this entire ridiculous affair is just a little out of the reach of our prodigal leader- pc dogma is more an artifact of the american state. Too bad the utter irony won’t be noticed by leftist on either shore.

Cheap presents are hardly the worst insult this nation has handed to the British. In spite of the supposed special relationship we share, the greater portion of that ‘specialness’ is held by the British.

The US conspired with the British government to force British citizens to part with their American interests at bargain prices to facilitate American support in World War 2. After the war the United States played as big a role as the USSR in dismantling the remnants of the British Empire (read Otto Scott The Other End of the Lifeboat).

We also never released the British from their war debts. That and a few wars probably should top the giving of a substandard gift when the British evaluate their special relationship with the US.

Whether we admire the Brits or not they have basicaly been our allies over the long haul. Since Obama has been in office he has treated them like the no class Chicago thug he is.

@Nebojsa: Look up king Kamehameha of Hawaii’s full name.

@Sueann: Visiting heads of state do not bow to the queen if they are not under her rule. However, that being said, Obama DID bow to that Saudi…

I actually knew about Tonga for a while. Can’t do better than “Crown Prince Siaosi T?ufa??hau Manumataongo Tuku?aho Tupou” (now King George Tupou V) for sheer awesomeness.

The Marxist Obamas hate the West. The Judeo-Christian values that helped shape these nations are despised by these people, I believe. They are tacky, classless people. I wouldn’t have invited them either. By the way, I would’ve thought Mrs. Obama would have given Prime Minister Brown a copy of the Wiz instead of the Wizard of Oz.

Did not Obama dis the Queen when he visited by refusing to follow protocol? He did not bow, and I believe he turned his back to her. I’m sure his bad manners have a lot to do with it.
