Bob Ainsworth, Britain’s defense secretary, “has blamed Barack Obama and the United States for the decline in British public support for the war in Afghanistan.”
And then he used phrases such as “dithering” and “period of hiatus in Washington” – and “lack of clear direction.”
I guess I’m not the only one who doesn’t understand why Bo has not made the strategies in Afghanistan a priority over things like, well, trying to get the Olympics to come to Chicago and helping Michelle pick out her State Dinner dress. It’s kind of crappy day when you manage to piss off the Brits.
But you know what’s even worse? When the dude who gets tingly legs over you starts using the word “dithering” as well.
The honeymoon is over, folks.

This isn’t the first time he’s managed to snub the Brits – between his choice of “gifts” to the Queen and the British PM, and the FLOTUS’ “laying on of hands” on the Queen’s person, let’s just say that they wonder if the inmates are in charge of the asylum on this side of the pond. Certainly, Anglo-US relations are not as strong as they were a few years ago.
I love how Chris Matthews suggested that all of this might be because Obama is “too intellectual.”
Yeah. I’m sure that’s it.
More evidence that Obama doesn’t like Western Civilization, and yet the hypocrite and chief is what he is due to Western Civilization.
The next president is going to have to really scramble to fix his mess.
Mock: Is Matthews trying to say “he is so smart that he is stupid”?
That does fit!
