Well said on all points...

And from what I heard, the people who live there wish to remain under the U.K.

But was not there people inanother area of Europe in the 1930’s that wished to remain under another Nation that were sold out to Hitler by Britian and France?

The Europeans, including the Brits, fawned over 0bamao during the campaign and couldn't wait for his regime to take power. The proves the old adage:

"Be careful what you wish for, it might come true".

Hmm ~ you mean they don't want to give up their NIS benefit for Obamacare?

How crass of them.

Based on our treatment of Britain in the last year and a half, we know why the Poseur wants our new embassy in London to have a moat around it.

Obama is scum.

"Don't sugar coat it."

I'll keep an eye on this in the future. :-)

Obama shows U.S. allies that they can’t count on us

[hondact200]

hey the Brits can get Obama’s backing with a little Quid Pro Quo. The Brits call up Obama = Hey we have your certificate of Live Birth here in our grubby little hands. Support the Sovereignity of the place of your birth. When he agrees to support them. They send the original birth cerificate to the washinton Examiner, the utilize hey Britian has decided since your father supported overthrowing the government in the 1960’s we have decide to flush your ass down the drain. American and Great Britian have always had an exceptional record of getting along since WWII. The pantywaist president is in it for himself, hates great britain because hs daddy

Obama is acting out a grudge for his Mau-Mau grandfather. There is no coincidence that Chicago thuggery and Mau-Mau genes found a common residence in this man.

I think you may well be right about that.

[manc]

you need to remember most people love him over here than over there.
it was us what elected him not the Brits
they have been helping us since the beginning and we would not have got this far without them.
the have been losing their men and women helping us in our wars for two decades now

so here’s a thought, remember who got him elected hey

[manc]

yea that country which has given their lives to help us ion over twenty years and this is how we say thanks

[manc]

it amazes me how some dopes actually blame our best ally for him being elected. It;s like reading a KOS site when I read that crap. They seem to forget how it was this country who voted him in and let him to what he is doing, their crime is that they had the media show a bunch of scruffy smelly students marching in support of him. one fool even said that they deserve it because they had signs saying war for oil. Yea we never had those signs here then did we

[manc]

ah your wrong there swamp, most brits did not want him elected and you know how I know that While they have been giving their lives to helps the this is a slap in their face and if I was leader over there I would say screw you bozo, we're pulling our troops out. in the last few days they have lost more men for us and why? so this idiot can slap them in the face

[manc]

only if you believe the media, most did not want him

I know because I go over there a lot and have family and friends over there

[manc]

they don’t , he must have seen the BBC and saw a clip of a couple of hundred muslims marching for obama and then thought it must be nearly 60 million people who wanted him .

I despair sometimes I really do at stupidity

[houeto]

Even by the relentlessly poor standards of the Obama administration, whose doctrine unfailingly appears to be “kiss your enemies and kick your allies”, this is a new low.

[gogogodzilla]

You know, the Economist... a highly-respected British weekly news magazine did a poll of Europeans on the US presidential elections.

To a country, every single nation in Europe overwhelming favored Obama rather than McCain. Though, the Russians just had a simply majority in favor.

So, sure America elected Obama. And the Europeans where ecstatic!
