Outrageous insult to the British and reflects badly on all Americans. Maybe Obama should actually read the books on Churchill that Brown left, but I doubt that will happen.

Lack of class by Obama administration is evident, and it must have been an embarrassment to Brown.

I do recall, however, my first visit to the UK. President Reagan was in office, and it was hard to miss huge, end-to-end posters of him plastered on the buses in London – - they pictured him with the chimpanzee ( from a film called Bedtime for Bonzo). I remember how disappointed I felt that the US president would be treated with such disrepect by a country I had always believed were our allies…a country of my ancestors. I couldn’t imagine the US allowing that to happen with – - say the Queen.

I have since learned that a favorite sport of the Europeans is America bashing …. funny you’d think it would be Germany they targeted wouldn’t you?

Prime Minister Brown hasn’t exactly been kind to President Bush….so maybe what goes around comes around.

Is this what spin looks like?

Perhaps there was an assumption by the Brits that their Prime Minister would receive the customary treatment (the same which they give to the President of the United States when he visits).

Yes, there might have been a miscommunication, but if the White House was going to deviate from the normal protocols, you might think they would ensure that 10 Downing Street knew about it. Miscommunication or not, shouldn’t we expect more from the administration that campaigned on “improving” our international relations?

Liberals are fond of reminding us how important European opinion is of us. Well, it looks as though the British are viewing this as a snub.

who were trying to ‘push’ an agenda

That agenda was the “Global New Deal”… which would fit right into Pres. Obama’s agenda, wouldn’t it?
