France is our biggest ally, declares Obama: President's blow to Special Relationship w/ Britain
The Mail (UK) ^ | 1/11/11 | Tim Shipman

Barack Obama has declared that France is America’s greatest ally, undermining Britain’s Special Relationship with the U.S.

The President risked offending British troops in Afghanistan by saying that French president Nicolas Sarkozy is a ‘stronger friend’ than David Cameron.

The remarks, during a White House appearance with Mr Sarkozy, will reinforce the widely-held view in British diplomatic circles that Mr Obama has less interest in the Special Relationship than any other recent American leader.

Mr Obama said: 'We don’t have a stronger friend and stronger ally than Nicolas Sarkozy, and the French people.'

The comments follow a pattern of coldness towards the UK. When Gordon Brown was prime minister, Mr Obama snubbed his requests for meetings in the U.S.

He also denounced Britain during his inauguration speech.

One day, out of a clear sky, like a bolt from the blue, this man will say something that isn’t either categorically untrue or misleading or abusive.

I’m not holding my breath or anything, but I do hope for the best.

Is this a parody? Honestly, I’d expect Obama to say something like our best friend is China or Venezula.

technically Obama is British, so he’s just demonstrating true liberal self loathing.

Sarkozy did say that Obama might be insane.

Or at least that's what the Russians said when they revealed a supposed secret French report.

It may just be a Russian fabrication, but this is beginning to sound like that puzzle about the tribe in Africa where everyone is a liar.

Apparently the word hasn't gotten out yet to the French people.
