You may not find any of the latest slights here but there are 10 pretty bad ones to slam your best ally with. I think the Brits just don't really appreciate the man any more than we who oppose him do.

President Obama

Were these slights against the British or against this particular Brit? The article makes clear where this guy stands, but doesn't really show that the British care at all about these 10 issues?

Slap your friends and appease your enemies.
Diplomacy, community organizer style.

Oh my goose necks! Obama slighted the brits!

Anybody notice how many of these threads have popped up after Obama had OBL killed and he is polling well again?

I hear the UK is going to declare war on the US.

Oh, no, wait ... that's not going to happen ... but we hurt their feelings and for that they are going to close down every Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips restaurant in the US.

(Actually I hope BP stops drilling for oil in OUR waters)

Interesting.

How many posts/threads do we have here espousing the ills of these countries? Yet today their tune has changed, I wonder why?

Better yet they side with a leader of a foreign country and attack our president at the same time. Has there ever been a time in our country when a political party did such a thing?

Oddly, the British aren't upset at all...they seem to like President Obama and the First Lady.
