[AD from SpringBay]

Maybe Downing Street is just a bit too white for our enlightened Great Leader.

[jws3sticks]

How stupid was that move to send the thing back to England. It did not need to be on his desk in the Oval Office nor on his night stand but surely there was some counter top somewhere in the White House to display the bust on Churchill. Stupid, stupid, stupid...

Here's a photograph of GWB's acceptance "moment".

Wonder if the One is more like bubba than we know.

Getting hummers more important than waiting dignitaries.

[syriacus]

I remember that from the A&E series on Hornblower.

Great series. Maybe that was bouncing around in my memory.

The British delegation should have afterward gone to Dallas.. (or Crawford) for a top notch (but not official) welcome & friendship.

O continues to reveal what a JERK truly is

I daresay Barry hates Churchill.

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.

Raising the respect of the United States throughout the world.

I think the PM is just too white.

I am really anxious to see obambi snubbed.

BTW, the Canadians are in hot negotiations with the ChiComs for oil contracts from the tar sands. I don’t think either one cares much what obambi thinks about their carbon footprint.

I sincerely hope all you obambibots enjoy walking because you’re going to be doing a lot of it if your boy gets his way.

[nuconvert]

Not to sound as if I’m defending Chairman O, but I do wonder if these details - lunch, flags, etc - of the visit are made by him or someone around him? Being an inexperienced newbie, i wonder if his people aren’t orchestrating everything without his input, and then just telling him when to show up.

[FlameThrower]

deep down he is a smartass grifter

The best encapsulation of the man I've seen!

[NoExpectations]

No way. This guy orchestrates everything so he certainly knows what is expected.

My guess is he didn’t want the side by side open press conference because he can’t handle the unscripted questions. He is falling apart at the seams and he has to work hard to keep it under wraps.

[reagan_fanatic]

The morning papers and TV last night featured plenty of comment focused on the White House's very odd and, frankly, exceptionally rude treatment of a British PM.

What did you Brits expect? Your PM's white, and he's not down wit the struggle.

[bray]

This guy is an idiot commie. He only cares about our enemies since he is one.

Pray for America, Our Troops and obama’s Continued Failure

[chainsaw]

What did the Brits expect from a low-brow arrogant mutt.

[Jath]

Obama just forgot to tell the Brits
“ I won”
apparently that is enough to end the debate right?

[IrishPennant]

Forgive us, Britain...we have taken a temporary leave of sanity. We shall be back.

Chicago street thugs have no need of manners or understanding or protocol, it's just not a required element of their daily interactions with their brethren.

Yo dawg, someone dissin’ you and da crew, you bust a cap in dey azz. Dem glockz ain't just fo show.

bammy just keeping it real.

[oldironsides]

Obama is an imperious individual.

[Albion Wilde]

I remember the adjective "balmy" was popular when I was young.

"Barmy" is the Brit version of "balmy."

Indeed...and never send Russell Brand over here to tell us how to do anything.
