Reaction in Britain to Barack Obama’s victory has been predictable, given that the country leads Europe and much of the world in knee-jerk anti-Americanism — which, more often than not, is actually anti-Republicanism — and is also consumed with its own version of white guilt (post-colonial in our case), and entranced by notions of multiculturalism. Commentators have obsessed over the racial aspects of the election, and have expended so much energy gloating over the demise of George Bush that you’d think that it was he, and not McCain, whom Obama had defeated. But a few pundits have managed to control their excitement long enough to look at the challenges the new president will face, and one or two even sound a cautionary note.
Amid the endless references to Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech, and much talk of transformational presidencies and Republican wipeouts, most commentators at least acknowledge that America is still fundamentally a center-right nation. An exception is Anatole Kaletsky, of the generally conservative Times, who, in one of the more far-fetched analyses, claims Obama’s victory signals a dramatic shift to the left...

O-Bama-Di, O-Bama-Da?
Life goes on!
So where is the UK’s black Prime Minister?
Bunch of racist white supremacist bigots!
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog’s eye.
I wish they could have him. Would make us and them happy.
We’ll see how long the UK celebrates the demise of Republicanism after Russian bombs start falling.
Mind you it probably will only take one or two for the “newIslamic UK” to capitulate to the new Persian empire Russia is cementing together with Iran and all the Stans.
I’ve traveled to England a few times and never once met any type of Anti-Americanism. In fact, most people I met were very gracious and kind. Just my two cents.
The world loves him....and he’s come to “change the world.” In a few years, some in this deluded world will see him for what he really is....
For the queers infesting the British media,
“They Want to Hold His Hand”
Oh heck no, not black, Indian. And he has to talk like Hapoo.
Funny. Most Obama voters seemed to have the same misconception.
Yeah, I respect the judgment of a nation which deified Diana and knighted Elton John.

Aye and dont forget it! For all the crap about Britain being over run by muslims there is no way in hell Britain will have a non white Prime Minister any time soon. Not sure if we have even had a black General in the army yet a couple of token blacks have been in the Cabinet but only for the lowly jobs we do let them sit at the front of buses though.
Nonsense. There are more east Indians and Muslims in Parliament than you can shake a stick at. It’s only a matter of time now.
Every new generation of airheads wants a charismatic Hitler type. This one has Obama sending tingles up their legs. Were the Brits equally excited when Adolph first came onto the scene? I bet a lot of them were, especially the pimple-brained, socialist creeps. ...But, look on the bright side of this. Europe gets to deal with Putin without any help from the US and its spineless administration. Imagine all the missiles. The US thugocracy will be preoccupied with destroying the Republicanism Europe hates.
It’s predominantly their media, probably not so much the blue-collar Brits.
Ask Boris Becker what the Germans thought of his black wife!
