The Obama snub.

Our leader is at it again. While I have never been a fan of Barack Obama, his recent snub of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is really appalling and is not only a staggering slap in the face to a staunch ally, but is a complete embarrassment to any American who has the slightest degree of intellect and feelings of national pride.

Now, while Obama may have some book smarts, he came from an extremely dysfunctional family. It has been rumored that he is actually the son of Frank Marshall Davis, a left wing activist. (Do not know if the rumor is true, but Obama looks more like Davis than he does Obama Sr.) I'm sure a psych profile of Obama would produce some interesting results. At any rate, my point is that while Obama may have some book smarts, he is basically an emotionally retarded, infantile minded narcissist who should not be leading the United States.

While Gordon Brown decided to offer our President a pen holder made from the wood of the sister ship of HMS Resolute (Link: http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/blog/2009/mar/02/gordon-brown-barack-obama-desk-plague ) Barack decided to return the gesture by giving the British PM a set of 25 DVD's which were not compatible with the European standard. The juvenile choice of Obama's gift speaks volumes about Obama himself. In another act of supreme insult to our British friends, Obama returned the British gift to the U.S. of the most famous bust of Winston Churchill, which was given to "W" after the 9/11 attack.

Barack has also forgotten his history. It was British MP William Wilberforce, an evangelical man of strong conviction, who spearheaded the move to end slavery in Britain. Accordingly, the slave trade was abolished in the Empire in 1807 and slavery was abolished in 1833. Considering the supposed reverence Obama has for Lincoln, he should have been even more enthusiastic over the British anti-slavery efforts.

Hopefully the rift with our long time ally can be repaired by the next administration, provided Obama does not run us into the ground before then.
