The UK Is Now Freaking Out About The U.S. Reaction To BP

The UK is freaking out right now about the U.S. reaction to the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Major Conservative political leader and Mayor of London Boris Johnson has called President Barack Obama's language "anti-British" after the President called BP 'British Petroleum' rather than its modern name.
Conservative Lord Tebbit's quote is just too vitriolic to paraphrase.
From The Daily Mail:
"The whole might of American wealth and technology is displayed as utterly unable to deal with the disastrous spill - so what more natural than a crude, bigoted, xenophobic display of partisan political Presidential petulance against a multinational company," said Lord Tebbit.
Much of the furor over the fallout from the BP spill in the UK stems from the potential damage to the company's dividends, which are linked to many pensions in the country.
Now UK Prime Minister David Cameron is going to speak personally to U.S. President Barack Obama over the issue, in an effort to calm the tensions between the two countries.
But the UK's Spectator blog doesn't think Cameron has a chance of stopping Obama on his warpath, as the U.S. president has no choice but to attack with his poll numbers sagging.

And yet he is half White. Talk about self-hate!
England is no friend to us
ARE YOU FRIGGING SERIOUS.
They have been losing men for us for years, just about every week and even this week, they are the first country to help us in our wars, saying England is no friend to us is about one of the most stupid posts I have read.
they see us as the muscle to execute their plan.
what on earth are you on about?
what plan do they have then ?
If you want to fight the war of 1812 or 1776 then go a head but the Brits have been our best ally and it is a shame that other countries like france, Ireland etc could have helped us in half of what the Brits have.
No friend of ours
ASTOUNDING, Have you been to war with them and fought along side them , seen them give their lives and seen them die for our war?
I have
How much of BP do the Royals own? I hope Charles loses his ass.
what are you on?
UK have been our best friend and are giving their lives for our wars every week and have done for years.
shame countries like Spain, France, Ireland etc could not have helped us like the UK or given half of what the UK has done for us
I suspect the British Government would have done less finger pointing and more action on the ground. It is the weak spineless community organizer leftist Ozerobumbo that sends lawyers to oil spills. One does not lead by intimidation and demonizing -such tactics may work for a community organizer strong arming the man BUT they do not work for the man. We do not have a man in the White House we have a wimp -a dangerous wimp!
holy crap what are you on?
they have dragged us into their wars,
first world war two is when we came into it when we got attacked and two years into their war
Have you forgot about Afghanistan and Iraq, those wars are ours and it is they who came to us to help us and have lost their lives helping us.
I suggest you look elsewhere for countries who do nothing for us but pretend to be our friend but have gone against us in wars.
slight change to OP

Obama’s daddy was a British “subject”.
That makes him a Brit/Kenyan in my book.
Sounds like a rare occurance of British self-hate to me.
if the spill was off cape cod then obama would have got a grip about this much quicker I bet
Why? They promoted Obama and people like him for the last 40 years. They hate capitalism as much as Obama. They are reaping what they have sown.
good post
maybe if some had seen the Brits giving their lives and see dead Brit soldiers who helped us in Iraq then they might stop having their hatred for the Uk
astounding posts by desert rhino
good posts
I can believe the stupid posts I have read on here about them not being our friend.
I have seen Brit soldiers dead who given their lives for us in OUR WARS over the years.
if some fool has their bigotry of the Brits then I suggest they go to see their dead soldiers who helped us and then tell their families they are not friends to us
OK at least you admit you were drunk when writing that post.
I did ask you what you were on and it seems beer which I will be starting.
I will add that the Brits have been with us for years, giving their lives and there is no country I will ever go to war other than the Brits
obama hates the Brits have they have always been there for us and stood there when ever we needed them, shame some fools will fall for his propaganda crap
he has done nothing but slap them in the face , Israel too.
just spat my drink out.
LOL
here to a game tomorrow
no the Brit media did, I have family there and go there many times a year and know of only a couple who wanted him.
please do not fall for the media’s lies, we have so many idiots here and the media who will anything to make obama’s hatred for our best ally go to crap
I’ve met people here who did nor know what KFC stood for and one who did did not knwo where it origianted
yes he was a rat
not all Brits, please do not stereotype all of a country, it is the media and their lies
actually many scots killed scots, that is why they lost
He would be wise to stay out of south Louisiana because some of those pizzed off cajuns wouldn’t mind chumming the waters and tossing him in the oilspill he caused.
