I puzzled why a man who must be used to percieved slights as a minority- who perform an action that might even remotely tick off one of our only true allies. Can anyone give me a legitimate reason for this type of thing?

And before the board commies jump on me for picking on the Prez, I do think he has done a few positive things such as the stem cell issue but WHY would you strain one of the countries best foreign relationships?

Churchill has less happy connotations for Mr Obama than those American politicians who celebrate his wartime leadership. It was during Churchill's second premiership that Britain suppressed Kenya's Mau Mau rebellion. Among Kenyans allegedly tortured by the colonial regime included one Hussein Onyango Obama, the President's grandfather.
