He wants to reach out to Syria, Iran and the Taliban, but look at how he treated our greatest ally Great Britain. Looks like he's going to be as good at ruining alliances as he is at ruining everything else. This is all from 1 week:
First, the British didn"™t take kindly to Barack Hussein Obama sending back the Winston Churchill bust that was a gift from former British prime minister Tony Blair following the September 11 attacks. Obama replaced the bust with one of Abraham Lincoln. When the Brit's reiterated that we could keep it as a gift to the American people, Obama rejected the idea without comment, leaving the Brits at a loss for words.
Then Obama snubbed Prime Minister Gordon Brown this week when he canceled a scheduled meeting with him in the White House rose garden. Oh, his excuse was the light blanket of snow that fell on D.C. "” as if the meeting couldn"™t be held indoors. He instead went and talked to the Boy Scouts of America.
The Prime Minister was denied a State Dinner on his visit, which is customary. When asked why, the White House responded that they were no more special than the other 190+ members of the U.N.
The Prime Ministers wife brought gifts for the "First daughters" "” Top Shop dresses (with matching necklaces) and a selection of books by British authors worth hundreds of British pounds.
In return, Michelle gave the Brown"™s two sons cheap, tacky, plastic replicas of Obama"™s controversial Marine One helicopter. The trinkets can be purchased for $15 in the White House gift shop.
PM Brown gave two symbolic gifts and one that expressed national pride. Brown came bearing a pen holder carved from the timbers of the sister ship of that which gave the wood to create the famous "Resolute Desk," the desk that has been in America's charge since 1880. He also gave Obama the framed commission for that famous ship, the HMS Resolute. His third gift was a seven-volume biography of one of England's greatest leaders, Winston Churchill.
So, what did President Obama give the British PM?
25 movies on DVD.
Yeah, that's it. Brown gives a symbolic gift like the pen holder fashioned from a famous British warship and Obama responds by sending a staffer to WalMart to pick up a few quick movies.
Worse, no one is 100% sure that Obama was smart enough to know that DVDs made in America don't play on European DVD players. American DVDs are created in the "Region One" format while those in Europe play in "Region Two" format. A U.S. DVD just won't play on a machine made for the English market.
This idiot is completely out of his league.
