at first i was glad to see Obama in as president (although it had no real effect in me at the time so my opinion is void, has not my president, ha-ha), but then it struck me, the total disregard for our nation was appalling, our men and women were out in Afghanistan fighting and dying for what is effectively American policy, and we were proud to fight alongside our cousins from over the pond, but he seemed to forget that.

From my point of view it was as if he was treating us like little children, patronising us with politics, and taking full advantage of the US' political pushing power. the real stab in the back however came not from Obama, but from Hilary Clinton (god how i hate her), in the form of the Falklands dispute, how dare she try and get involved and the presume to tell us what to do with our sovereign territory, and then to make things worse she takes sides, so much for mediation. i mean who does she think she is, she acts as if she is the president herself, bossing the world around like it?s her play thing.

i am also particularly disappointed with Obama?s handling of the recent BP oil crisis, and the anti-British rhetoric he has taken, it is as if he is taking every opportunity that he can to make his disdain for us as clear as possible, and to make us look like the foolish guilty partner of the world stage, as he emphasises the companies British links at every given moment, although the oil crisis is regrettable, and the damage that has been done is terrible, there has been little consideration to the point that it may not entirely be BPs fault and the over aggressive claims are certainly not aiding the situation, it is his feeble attempt at trying to regain some popular standing with the American people, i only hope that in this phone call between David Cameron and Obama that we for once stand up for ourselves and defend our position instead of backing down to congresses political standing.

there is no need to apologise however, the people of America cannot be held accountable for Obama?s faults and his apparent political immaturity, British have respect for the American people i certainly do, i very much like America, maybe Mr Obama should listen to his people once in a while, as from what i can tell many of you are not happy. All this needs is a suitable apology, and for Obama to swallow some pride and start showing some respect to his allies and everything will be back to normal, sooner rather than later,or he could leave America with very few friends.

 

(if this sounds really anti-American is was not my intention, its meant to be anti Obama administration, haha , and im glad to see that Americans still appreciate our nations friendship, we can sometimes lose sight of that in this political storm )
