USA Foreign Relationships

THIS FROM THE LONDON DAILY TELEGRAPH EDITOR

Ya gotta love the Brits (at least some of the time). This writer really nailed our unesteemed president. Long may he write.
This is a very sobering article. Our handling of relationships with the Britons over the oil spill won't help either.
From The London Daily Telegraph Editor On Foreign Relations

Quote:

"Let me be clear: I'm not normally in favour of boycotts, and I love the American people. I holiday in their country regularly, and hate the tedious snobby sneers
against the United States. But the American people chose to elect an idiot who seems hell bent on insulting their allies, and something must be done to stop Obama's
reckless foreign policy, before he does the dirty on his allies on every issue."

One of the most poorly kept secrets in Washington is President Obama's animosity toward Great Britain, presumably because of what he regards as its sins while ruling
Kenya (1895-1963).

One of Barack Hussein Obama's first acts as president was to return to Britain a bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office since 9/11. He
followed this up by denying Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on his first state visit, the usual joint press conference with flags.

The president was "too tired" to grant the leader of America's closest ally a proper welcome, his aides told British journalists.

Mr. Obama followed this up with cheesy gifts for Mr. Brown and the Queen. Columnist Ian Martin described his behavior as "rudeness personified." There was more rudeness
in store for Mr. Brown at the opening session of the United Nations in September. "The prime minister was forced to dash through the kitchens of the UN in New York
to secure five minutes of face time with President Obama after five requests for a sit down meeting were rejected by the White House," said London Telegraph columnist
David Hughes. Mr. Obama's "churlishness is unforgivable," Mr. Hughes said.

The administration went beyond snubs and slights last week when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton endorsed the demand of Argentine President Cristina Kirchner,
a Hugo Chavez ally, for mediation of Argentina's specious claim to the Falkland Islands, a British dependency since 1833. The people who live in the Falklands,
who speak English, want nothing to do with Argentina. When, in 1982, an earlier Argentine dictatorship tried to seize the Falklands by force, the British -- with
strong support from President Ronald Reagan -- expelled them.

"It is truly shocking that Barack Obama has decided to disregard our shared history," wrote Telegraph columnist Toby Young. "Does Britain's friendship really
mean so little to him?" One could ask, does the friendship of anyone in the entire world mean anything to him?

"I recently asked several senior administration officials, separately, to name a foreign leader with whom Barack Obama has forged a strong personal relationship
during his first year in office," wrote Jackson Diehl, deputy editorial page editor of the Washington Post, on Monday. "A lot of hemming and hawing ensued." One official
named French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but his contempt for Mr. Obama is an open secret. Another named German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But, said Mr. Diehl, "Merkel
too has been conspicuously cool toward Obama."

Mr. Obama certainly doesn't care about the Poles and Czechs, whom he has betrayed on missile defense. Honduras and Israel also can attest that he's been an unreliable
ally and an unfaithful friend. Ironically, our relations with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority have never been worse. Russia has offered nothing in exchange for Mr. Obama's abandonment of missile defense. Russia and China won't support serious sanctions on Iran. Syria's support for terrorism has not diminished despite efforts to normalize diplomatic relations. The reclusive military dictatorship that runs Burma has responded to our efforts at "engagement" by deepening its ties to North Korea.

And the Chinese make little effort to disguise their contempt for him.


For the first time in a long time, the President of the United States is actually distrusted by its allies and not in the least feared by its adversaries. Nor is
Mr. Obama now respected by the majority of Americans. Understandably focused on the dismal economy and Mr. Obama's relentless efforts to nationalize and socialize
health care, Americans apparently have yet to notice his dismal performance and lack of respect in the world community. They soon will.

Liberals invade Canada

The Manitoba Herald, Canada, as Reported by Clive Runnels, August 6, 2010



The flood of American liberals sneaking across the border into Canada has

intensified in the past week, sparking calls for increased patrols to stop the

illegal immigration. The recent actions of the Tea Party are prompting an exodus

among left-leaning citizens who fear they'll soon be required to hunt, pray,

and to agree with Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck.



Canadian border farmers say it's not uncommon to see dozens of sociology

professors, animal-rights activists and Unitarians crossing their fields at

night. "I went out to milk the cows the other day, and there was a Hollywood

producer huddled in the barn," said Manitoba farmer Red Greenfield, whose

acreage borders North Dakota. The producer was cold, exhausted and hungry. He

asked me if I could spare a latte and some free-range chicken. When I said I

didn't have any, he left before I even got a chance to show him my screenplay,

eh?"



In an effort to stop the illegal aliens, Greenfield erected higher fences,

but the liberals scaled them. He then installed loudspeakers that blared Rush

Limbaugh across the fields. "Not real effective," he said. "The liberals still

got through and Rush annoyed the cows so much that they wouldn't give any

milk."



Officials are particularly concerned about smugglers who meet liberals near

the Canadian border, pack them into Volvo station wagons and drive them across

the border where they are simply left to fend for themselves." A lot of

these people are not prepared for our rugged conditions," an Ontario border

patrolman said. "I found one carload without a single bottle of imported

drinking water. They did have a nice little Napa Valley Cabernet, though."

When liberals are caught, they're sent back across the border, often wailing

loudly that they fear retribution from conservatives. Rumors have been

circulating about plans being made to build re-education camps where liberals

will be forced to drink domestic beer and watch NASCAR races.



In recent days, liberals have turned to ingenious ways of crossing the

border. Some have been disguised as senior citizens taking a bus trip to buy

cheap Canadian prescription drugs. After catching a half-dozen young vegans in

powdered wig disguises, Canadian immigration authorities began stopping buses

and quizzing the supposed senior - citizens about Perry Como and Rosemary

Clooney to prove that they were alive in the '50s. "If they can't identify the

accordion player on The Lawrence Welk Show, we become very suspicious about

their age." an official said. Canadian citizens have complained that

the illegal immigrants are creating an organic-broccoli shortage and are

renting all the Michael Moore movies. "I really feel sorry for American

liberals, but the Canadian economy just can't support them." an Ottawa resident

said. "How many art-history majors does one country need?"



In an effort to ease tensions between the United States and Canada, Vice

President Biden met with the Canadian ambassador and pledged that the

administration would take steps to reassure liberals. A source close to

President Obama said, "We're going to have some Paul McCartney and Peter, Paul

& Mary concerts. And we might even put some endangered species on postage

stamps. The President is determined to reach out." he said. The Herald will be

interested to see if Obama can actually raise Mary from the dead in time for

the concert.
