Mikecg Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Do you think Obama disrespected one of Americas staunchest allies when Gordon Brown visited Washington and Obama made it a low key visit, and not a proper state reception, which the Prime Minister of England deserved even though hes a bit of a wet blanket. Also Obama returned the statue of Winston Churchill to Britain, which was given as a gift. Even if you don't like the gift, why return it? That's just rude. And Russia is continuing to prod at Obama with the latest matter of the missile shield in Poland and Iran. Clinton gave Russia a Reset button to me it looked like an Illuminate catalyst's clandestine message of Yo Ruskis Lets Nuke Iran and split the Oil profits.

LegalEagle-ish Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Maybe Obama's Kenyan side is still unhappy about the British massacre of the Mau Mau and the British gulags in Kenya in the 1950's.

Mick Mac Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Mike - the point is - your original post says "Prime Minister of England" - you are beginning to sound like a redneck American, he is the UK Prime Minister, there is no English Prime Minsiter - its a UK government.

candj Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I think the low key visit, as you put it, was sort of like they were 'chums' and Gordy can visit anytime he wants to. Obama's style appears to be more casual than most politicians, part of the 'I'm just an ordinary man like you' charm, I guess.And did he actually return the bust to Britain or just give it back to Bush? It was a gift to Bush and perhaps he wanted it back in Texas where he can sit with a big book of famous people and properly identify the figure that's baffled him for the last 8 years.We'll have to wait and see with Russia, but the fact that the US is even talking to Iran, discussing nuclear nonproliferation with Russia, sending $900m to help rebuild Gaza and closing Gitmo, can't be a bad start to his presidency.I remain hopeful.Best,-C Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5562-is-obama-a-bit-of-an-a_hole/#findComment-178756 Share on other sites More sharing options...

red devil Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Obama is all about 'hope', (apparently you need this in abundance to be a West Ham fan Quids...;-)) something we could do with over here...with Cameron all I get is 'here we go again'...

pk Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 what really made me chuckle were the gifts exchanged, the browns buying dresses, necklaces and a collection of books for the obama girls and receiving two plastic helicopters available from the white house gift shop; and then gordon giving barack a first edition series of books and a pen holder made from the wood of a historic ship (which was a sister ship to the ship from which the oval office desk was made) and recieved a dvd seti don't think that it's important for world leaders to give each other good presents so unlike the telegraph readers i'm not outraged by this, but it does amuse me Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5562-is-obama-a-bit-of-an-a_hole/#findComment-178766 Share on other sites More sharing options...
