Obama? Unfortunately I have personal experience and that experience has led me to believe that we hold on to the “special relationship” nonsense while the British tossed it aside long ago.
We are not the same people who marched off to war with our European cousins and I assure you, neither are they.
By voting to leave the EU, the people of the UK showed that they are still mostly the same kind that forged that special relationship.
Unless you’re going to be candid about your personal experience, I can’t make a judgment one way or the other on it, not that I want to; but don’t make it too personal as to be a grudge, is all I can advise one way or the other. Abandoning our ally to our traditional enemy will bode ill for the USA, and Trump in spite of May’s rhetoric is not doing that, FWICS.
I have personal experiences in the UK as well, mostly positive, and I used to live in Ireland, a country that teaches prejudice against the English in its schools.
