Two words for Obama...Manchurian Candidate. Maybe not for China, but he's suspect.

Was talking with hubby last night, he found some interesting info...did you know that a bust of Winston Churchill was given to us after WWII by Great Britain as a gift, and has been on display in the White house since then, but it was recently boxed up and sent back to GB on orders of the Prez? And both his parents and his grandfather were fighters in Kenya trying to liberate it from GREAT BRITAIN? So we just elected someone who's family has been enemies of our greatest ally for generations! Scary huh...

I hope this isn't true.

I didn't vote for Obama but he won so he is the prez...I try to give him the benefit of the doubt...sometimes at least...but as time goes on...the more I read and hear...the more it makes me sad.

Holy crap dumbass....
I can't believe you actually posted that.


I'll address the first part, the second part is so batshit stupid that I don't even know how to phrase the response.

A British Embassy spokesman said: "The bust of Sir Winston Churchill by Sir Jacob Epstein was uniquely lent to a foreign head of state, President George W Bush, from the Government Art Collection in the wake of 9/11 as a signal of the strong transatlantic relationship.

"It was lent for the first term of office of President Bush. When the President was elected for his second and final term, the loan was extended until January 2009.

"The new President has decided not to continue this loan and the bust has now been returned. It is on display at the Ambassador's Residence."

He told them to take it back in like the first month or so. Never heard the second part but IMO his refusal to support the uk in the latest falklands dispute is far more horrifying

You talking about our neutrality stance?
UK wants to set up some oil rigs. Argentina says hey thats ours!!
All eggheads and bloggers look at the US.
We say "Thats between the British and the Argentinians."
As the months go on...we eventutally say
"Hey assholes....why don't you guys sit down and work something out"
Meanwhile in the background our diplomats are working boths sides of the table trying to get the two parties to work it out...despite our official (and appropriate) position that we will not choose sides in this particular property dispute.

Meanwhile the internetz and Murdoch papers scream
OBAMA ABANDONS GREAT BRITIAN!!!!!!

I'm with you. I try to take everything with a grain of salt, but it just doesnt look like its getting any better. The association with this nut case, that above story, the previous nom and the current for Supreme Court...its frightening when you start looking at all the little disjointed pieces as part of a bigger whole.

Did you hear his speech after the summits? OMfreakingGawd.
