What do you expect with a President whose foreign affairs experience consists solely of being born in Kenya and Muslim primary schooled in Indonesia and a Secretary of State whose diplomatic credentials are having made travel junkets overseas on the taxpayer’s dime.
Good thing that button didn’t say “launch” in Russian.
Regardless, a really stupid “gift”.
There is a total lack of class, everywhere you look. Incredibly embarrassing...
Obama's DVD gift did not contain "Gone with the Wind" but did have "ET" and "Graduate." IIRC, there was not one single pre WW2 film on American history. Whatever, this was extremely tacky as was the cheap children's toy. These are the kinds of gifts I would have expected somebody from trailer park to give.
Please don’t worry. We know very well that it’s Obama who did this, not the courteous and hospitable people of the USA.
“The US is region 1, the UK is region 2, they do not mix.”
Can others mix? The reason I ask is because the Republic of Panama (region 4 according to your map) has no problems playing DVDs, etc, from the U.S.
“Maybe Gordon Brown needs to do what I did...”
One problem from what I have read is that Gordon Brown is not a movie watcher anyway.
That cheeky Kenyan is an idiot...His wife too.
The Arrogant and the Classless are in charge now. I hope we have SOME friends left when they depart the national stage.
Why aren’t Repubs legislators all over TV and radio blasting the Obamanoids for their incompetence? They cant simply depend on Rush and talk radio to do it.
Glad to hear it...many of us are mortified.
Perhaps if Hillary simply engaged in diplomacy instead of trying to be cute. I’m so tired of these people.
It’s the Laugh-In/ SNL generation come to fruition. Everything’s a joke. I am afraid the joke is on us.
I’m just shocked that the UK’s fag media has turned on the cool black dude.
Not very hip, progressive and sophisticated of them.
Thanks for that. I’m so sorry to have to be associated with these boobs.
Besides being cringe-inducing because of the insult to our former president and because of using the wrong word, is it a good idea to joke about a big red button between the two nations who have the majority of the world’s nuclear warheads, and who had them aimed at each other for more than 40 years?
Trashing President Bush became part of the Obama campaign - that he was needed to ‘regain’ the world’s love for the USA. This idea was sold to the world, until it became “accepted wisdom” that everyone disliked the USA because of President Bush. A totally irrational perspective, but repeated every day in every way on every mass media outlet.
Liberals do not deal in truth and facts. They lie to themselves, and believe their own lies, and are then surprised when truth can no longer be avoided. Lies like Hillary is a qualified foreign policy expert! Or that Obama is going to govern from the center, etc etc.
British colonial forces accused of terror tactics in Kenya
February 7 2005-Kenyans who fought in the Mau Mau rebellion have taken the British government to court for alleged humans rights abuses. Their application reflects the fluidity of the concept of terrorism. While the colonial government referred to the Mau Mau as terrorists in the 1950s, the Kenyan Mau Mau Trust has now delivered a dossier to the British High Commission in Nairobi, entitled Kenya: White Terror. More than 200 000 Kenyan freedom fighters were detained in camps in a bid to force them to abandon their nationalist goals in the 1950s. The dossier catalogues instances of torture and murder by British soldiers and locals under their command. Other documented atrocities in the report include castration and blinding of defiant captives, as well as fatal whippings and r ape by British soldiers. The report is based on more than 6000 depositions alleging numerous cases of human rights abuse. This is the third time Kenya is seeking reparations from the British government for atrocities committed during British colonial rule.
