“President Obama has created his own reputation as anti-British through serial snubs of its leaders and gifts.

Whether there’s a connection between his obvious feelings and Britain’s colonial rule of Kenya, the homeland of Obama’s absentee father, is really irrelevant. It’s shown Obama as a petty, parochial pol, hardly presidential.

The Democrat is often photographed with his feet atop the presidential desk, a gift from Britain decades ago made from the timbers of a British man-of-war.

But Obama trumped himself this week by declining to send any representative of his administration to the funeral of free-market advocate Thatcher.”

Very well written and sums up the rogue perfectly. His feelings about colonial Britain are irrelevant, and he IS a “...petty, parochial pol, hardly presidential.” Seeing him with his feet on that heirloom desk makes me so angry. I just hope there is an expert at the Smithsonian who can refinish it successfully.

Considering it took Obama time to refer to the bombing attack(s) up in in Boston as “terrorism” the day after shows his slow response as a leader, leads from behind.
