The real views of many in Obama administration were laid bare by a State Department official involved in planning the Brown visit, who reacted with fury when questioned by The Sunday Telegraph about why the event was so low-key. The official dismissed any notion of the special relationship, saying: "There's nothing special about Britain. You're just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn't expect special treatment." The apparent lack of attention to detail by the Obama administration is indicative of what many believe to be Mr Obama's determination to do too much too quickly. What a bunch of clowns! Let's see, aside from the fact that they're our allies, perhaps the fact that they have boomers sets them apart from the other 190 countries...

From the article:
“The real views of many in Obama administration were laid bare by a State Department official involved in planning the Brown visit, who reacted with fury when questioned by The Sunday Telegraph about why the event was so low-key.
The official dismissed any notion of the special relationship, saying: ‘There’s nothing special about Britain. You’re just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn’t expect special treatment.’”

Gosh, who needs executive experience to be President?
Seems to me that the “0 is our hero” crowd didn’t think it was necessary.
Who needs experience to be President? Not our messiah.
Now it turns out that 0 is “overwhelmed” by the amount of work required by a President.
Really?
You mean being the President is a tough, demanding, thankless job?
Knock me over with a feather.

I guess “community organizing” isn’t good preparation for being POTUS.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
After all that experience at community organization and that half-term as a senator, who knew we were electing a lightweight, unprepared, puppet?

We need to see a new iconic photo of Prez Obama slumped over his desk just like the classic one of LBJ.
They also need to keep the lights in the Oval Office on 24/7 just like the unoccupied office high up in the Kremlin that was always lit late. So that Muscovites could look up and see that Stalin was always toiling late into the night on their behalf.

Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been "overwhelmed" by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest. It took a foreign news source to voice that Obama and his staff are "overwhelmed" by their jobs?! Maybe Obama should stay in the White House and do his job instead of flying all over the nation like he's still campaigning...but on the other hand, the less he does the less damage he can do to the nation, so if they need a hang fueling up Airforce 1 I hope they give me a call.

He’s “overwhelmed” all right. This SOB is in way over his head.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Give Obama a break. He is up late and working very hard...to destroy my country.

I know. Me too. It is unbelievable.

But Washington figures with access to Mr Obama's inner circle explained the slight by saying that those high up in the administration have had little time to deal with international matters,...

Hell, ive never been in government, and i know how the joint press conference goes *just from watching TV*.
Im gonna go out on a limb and say i would have even thought the DVDs might have seemed tacky as an official state gift.
Inexperience doesnt excuse rude or tacky.

Biden’s next in line, and poor bambi will be too tired to function. He’ll have to take the summer off to recuperate.
