UK Press: Obama Tried to Bore America into Submission

Europe fell out of love with president pantywaist some time ago.  The Timesonline.uk ultimately comes to the wrong conclusion, i.e. that Obama got the better of Lamar Alexander.  But, it’s clear our soon-to-be former allies in the UK are on to the incompetent that is our current president:

“His frustration was understandable. After all, for a while, it seemed as though Senator Alexander might be getting the upper hand, and the viewer began to wonder if Obama’s gambit — to bore America into submission while getting another opportunity to look handsome on television — was about to blow up in his face.”

But our friends in the UK seem to have a pretty good grip on the process:

“For the rest of us, however, it was mainly an opportunity to see how many conciliatory-looking poses Obama could strike while listening to his Republican opponents explain why the entire first year of his administration has been a gigantic waste of time, and why the telephone directory-sized health Bills produced by both the Democrat-controlled House and Senate should be fed into a shredder the size of Connecticut, before they . . . well, no one seems to know exactly what these vast pieces of legislation would do.”

“Except that it won’t be good, because the US Congress generally only does expensive and complicated.”

That sounds about right.  Perhaps the Brits are more than a little irked at the former messiah now that he’s turfed them yet again.  This time he has refused to back the UK in a dispute over Falkland sovereignty:

“Washington refused to endorse British claims to sovereignty over the Falkland Islands yesterday as the diplomatic row over oil drilling in the South Atlantic intensified in London, Buenos Aires and at the UN.”

“Despite Britain’s close alliance with the US, the Obama Administration is determined not to be drawn into the issue. It has also declined to back Britain’s claim that oil exploration near the islands is sanctioned by international law, saying that the dispute is strictly a bilateral issue.”

You will recall, Obama wasted no time damaging our long alliance with the UK as soon as he took office.  

Obama has a grudge against the Brits for their abuse of his grandfather, a subversive who supported a bunch of ferocious guerillas.   And as always with Obama, rather than deal with his own inner demons, he uses his position of power to act out.  Another campaign promise kept:  Obama is most assuredly changing the world’s view of America.
