Does Barack Obama give a damn about us?
The Sunday Times ^ | March 14, 2010 | Christina Lamb

WHEN President Barack Obama declared himself “the first Pacific president”, some thought he was merely waxing lyrical about his birth in Hawaii and school days in Indonesia.

A year into office it is clear that this is a president focused not so much on old alliances across the Atlantic as on the emerging Pacific powers. Next week he will return to Indonesia, where he spent four years as a child...

A journey to his old primary school in Jakarta will no doubt come as a welcome break...

When the Washington Post columnist Jackson Diehl asked White House officials to name a foreign leader with whom Obama had forged a personal relationship, there was “a lot of hemming and hawing”, he said. To his astonishment, no one mentioned Gordon Brown.

The British feel particularly miffed. Within days of becoming president, Obama removed the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office. This, followed by Obama’s odd choice of gift to Brown — a box of DVDs including Psycho and Toy Story — prompted speculation of something deeper. In his memoir, Obama writes of how his grandfather was beaten by British troops in colonial Kenya.

A senior official from No 10, who was in Washington in December for Obama’s big speech on Afghanistan, was horrified that the president did not once mention Britain in the 45-minute address despite the presence there of 10,000 British troops.

British diplomats recently complained to the State Department over the handling of the Falklands dispute with Argentina.

At the Copenhagen summit on climate change, European leaders expected to have a big say, having led the way on environmental legislation. Instead they were left out of the room while Obama cut a deal with China, India, Brazil and South Africa.

Even the slow among us are starting to figure out that Obamao hates America, and he will destroy all of us to get even for everyone else who hates America. It wasn’t exactly hidden before he became the worst president in our history.

To paraphrase Kryten: "Who would think for a moment that Mr. Obama is capable of caring about others, even our brothers across the great ocean, who have been our allies in years past? Who? Only a yogurt, that's who!"

And a chance to make sure they don't have any old incriminating documents, like birth certificates, laying around in some old file cabinet.

No, and I don’t give a damn about him. May his presidency be cursed and may he rot in hell.

No, he and the Democrats are doing what they feel we all need because they think we are too stupid to know what is good for us.

They consider themselves god IMO.
