Who the heck is running his protocal department? Early in his tenure, he gave the British Prime Minister a gift of twenty-five movies on DVD (in the wrong format for Great Britian). A snub in comparison to the gifts The Prime Minister gave Obama. Just lately, he's returned a bust of Winston Churchill, a gift given to Bush. Clearly a snub. Of course, Obama has the right to decorate the White House in any style he likes (within reason) but I would imagine there's enough room in storage for the bust. It did not need to be sent back. In March, our "esteemed" President walked out on Isreali Prime Minnister Binyamin Netanyahu who was at the time a guest at the White House. What is it about this man that he snubs our allies but bows to our potential enemies?
It is bad enough that alliances that have been fostered for years are under threat of being torn asunder by these callous snubs, but when the President snubs the Armed Forces, it becomes personal. I served in the ARMY straight out of high school. I felt honored to have been a part of our nation's defense. I was in the ARMY when Carter was in office and morale was low. Then Reagan became President and I saw the military transformed almost overnight. It was Reagan who gave us the effective fighting force that we have today. As bad as Carter was for our military, it must be ten times worse for those serving under Obama. I am ashamed and embarrassed by our President, as well as concerned for our country. Thankfully, people are starting to wake up (even democrats) and ask where this President is taking us. Let us pray it is not too late to right the ship.

What ticks me off about Obama is this grudge he's got against Great Britain and he's using the BP disaster as a way to really express his displeasure with the U.K. He's forgetting that we're natural allies. I don't know if I believe all this "special relationship" stuff, but the British and U.S. have always tended to work side-by-side on important matters and Obama is imperling that relationship and turning it sour. He was at best neutral and at worst pro-Argentinian during the lastest Falkland Island spat a few months ago, which digusted me. I can't believe how much he's dissing the U.K. when they've backed America so much over the years. Reagan, Clinton and both Bushes understood how to treat Great Britain; Obama has no clue. All he can do is bitch about some family grievance related to Britain from 100 years ago. Gives you some idea of the measure of the man that he just cannot let it go. Also gives you an idea of how he felt about America before he became President; and how he probably still continues to feel about it!
Yep, Great Britain and Israel our greatest ally's. Just look at the condemnation of Isreal for rightly defending their people from rocket attacks from the Gaza, It makes me sad and sick to my stomack that our state department joined in the cacophony of condemnation.
I seem to be having trouble spelling today, sorry.
I'm thinking the Churchill bust simply didn't blend well with the Mao, Stalin, and Che busts. It's simply a home decor no-no.
LoL, GD. you got it in one.
