Brits Officials Can't Get Obama Folks on Phone, U.S. Media Not Picking Up Either

  • Bookmark and Share

If the snub of British PM Gordon Brown at the hands of President Obama and his wife weren't enough, now British Cabinet Secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell is saying that Downing Street is finding it "unbelievably difficult" to get hold of officials from Obama's administration. British officials can't seem to ever get past the administration's answer machines as they call here to try and coordinate plans for the coming G20 summit.

In frustration O'Donnell said that that when he tries to get in touch with key members of Obama's Treasury Department "there is nobody there." The phones ring and nobody answers or they get messages and that is all. "You cannot believe how difficult it is," O'Donnell told participants at a civil service conference.

While the Obama Administration ducks the Brit's phone calls, the U.S. media also seems to be ignoring this story as they've widely ignored several of the stories that detail the new administration's offhanded treatment of our closest ally.

Story Continues Below Ad ↓

Attempting to re-spin O'Donnell's pique, Downing Street replied by reiterating that the relationship between Britain and the Obama administration is perfectly fine. Officials also claimed that O'Donnell was critiquing the American system of replacing key officials with each new administration.

The Old Media in this country, though, seems uninterested in this story. This isn't surprising because they've been systematically ignoring many of the stories coming from England detailing the deteriorating relations between the Obama administration and British representatives.

First Obama dissed the Brits by summarily returning her generous loan of a bust of Churchill to adorn the Oval Office. Along with the gift gaffes that Michelle and Barack perpetrated when the Brown's visited and the Obama official that told British authorities that they weren't "special" to the U.S., this story is all over the European media but is not making much of a splash on this side of the Atlantic.

One has to wonder why the Old Media in the U.S. is not too interested in these stories of how Obama is dissing the Brits? Could it be that President Obama is not living up to the campaign promise that he'd "fix" our international relations and that truth does not appeal to the delicate sensibilities of the U.S. media?

Here's the folks that helped bring freedom to millions and what they think of Hussein:

Oh, my. LOL

Oh, my.  LOL

I am sending that to all my email buddies!

There's only one explanation:  they are all racists (Yes, even the black Marines!)

Regarding the Brits, they are  going to have to understand that our fledgling President is just exhausted from trying to deal with the economy!  And they'd better learn the lesson that the State Department official said: they shouldn't expect special treatment... they are just ignoring everybody.

BTW isn't it amazing that he's too busy with the economy to respect our best ally, at the same time that he's whining to American media that he has "other things to worry about" besides the economy!!

Obama's salute.

I actually think Obama's salute looks pretty snappy.  Much better than Clinton's limpy effort.

Jer

I have to agree with you

I have to agree with you there. He also made eye contact with the Marine several of the times I saw. That was good, too.

Warner. My guess

Warner.

My guess is--after Clinton appeared so incredibly feckless--that Obama probably practiced saluting the mirror [or maybe Michelle] for hours to make sure he didn't repeat BC's lame-ass salutes.

Jer

Now, I am SURE he salutes

Now, I am SURE he salutes General Michelle! But, I'll bet he has two salutes for Iron Mich... one he obediently gives to her face and that other one when her back is turned.
;)

LOL, Warner...

No doubt he's had a lot of practice with that one-finger version, too.

Jer

I love the way President

I love the way President Bush takes the time to greet individual Marines. I wonder why Obama thinks that is beneath him?

Because Hussein thinks that it is beneath him.  With that attitude the Marines will never have his back.  Trust me.

You, too, have noticed his arrogance toward the troops!

Good morning Cape

Liberals consider Military personel to be the dregs of society. Present Obama and Pelosi are the worst.

We conservatives view them as the cream of the crop.

Jesus Loves You

None of the liberals I know

None of the liberals I know feel that way.  We have enormous respect for the military.

Jer

Can you really count all

Can you really count all the libs you know that really feel that way on one hand?

Why they wouldn't be they type 'we hate the war but support our troops' kind of pals would they?

If I exclude my thumb.

On one hand?  Well, if I exclude my thumb.

Jer

edit: BTW, some of you guys have already started carping about the expanded operation in Afghanistan. Does that mean you "hate the military", or does that just apply to Democrats who criticize policy.

I am all for the expansion

I am all for the expansion in Afghanistan (my son is about to head there, though). But, I have a feeling that he'll try to appease both his anti-war nuts and his need to seem strong and under-do the expansion. Not enough to succeed but enough to look like he was doing something. THAT was the complaint I had with Bush for too many years, until the surge.

WTH - and THAT (under-estimating) is the CRUX of the

matter.  I agree, GO FOR IT!  If our military is willing to serve, then support them 1000% for heaven's sake!

Your son will be added to my prayer list - oops, no need to, he already is on it since I pray for the safety of ALL our brave young (and some not so young) warriors.  Did you read about the 70-year-old doctor heading over to the ME?

Thanks

Thanks to both of you. He's already done one tour in Iraq, too. I still joke that he's a punk kid to his old man, but truth is, with his war experience, he's seen far more than I.

JER

just watch, in the next two years the federal budget will grow everywhere except the military which will be cut.

Bank on it, it's the same Clinton admin why would you expect different results?

 

Who are you to tell a successful and consistently interesting satirist what he should or shouldn't do in order to get across the point he's trying to make?

There will be some scaling

There will be some scaling back of the  request which projected a substantial increase.  As it stands now, I think it still will be larger than last year's budget under Bush--or at least very close to it.

Jer

watch Jer that's all,

that's all,  just watch time will indeed tell

Gates and Mullen were clapping in the Obama clip to drown out the crickets.

They'll sure have to do something!!

Obama is going to have our

Obama is going to have our closest allies resenting us and our enemies laughing at us.

I can only think one of the reasons for this dissing of the UK is because they were such a close ally in the Iraq War.

I expect the same cool treatment towards Australia when they make overtures to this White House.

Allies?

We don't need no stinkin' allies! Well, we need to make nice with Cuba and Iran. THOSE are the ones. Yep. No wait. We need to give MILLIONS in money to Palastinians. Yeah. Allies. Turn your back and they'll slit your throat. What do we need with those stupid Brits and Germans anyway?

Wonder why Hussein hates

Wonder why Hussein hates England?  Did he try to get into Oxford and they said no?  I really would like to know because the Brit's are our best allies.  If I couldn't live in America for some reason, England would be my second choice.  

 BTW, can you even fathom what the MSM would be saying had Bush acted this way? 

A poisonous Kenyan angle?

Among the 326 comments that Ace of Spades garnered concerning its post about Obama being “overwhelmed” as a particularly dopey excuse for his remarkably shoddy treatment of the Brits

 

http://minx.cc/?post=283957

 

there were the following:

“My theory: Being the son of a Kenyan, a former British colony, there is some Anglophobia lurking inside him.”

There was also another comment about how Obama’s Kenyan grandfather may have been tortured, perhaps during the colonial era.  I hope this is pure baloney.  To suggest that the whole “Godd*mn” country is going to have to suffer in unison the Obamas’ satchel full of personal slights and resentments could imply that this Presidency will not only be super catastrophic, but could also set race relations back hundreds of years.

This could be one of the biggest non-reported stories of the decade.

Impunitas semper ad deteriora invitat.

This is just another example of his statement in his bio

that he would have nothing more to do with his mother 'or her people' - I think he really meant it, don't you?

Simple, he does not cherish our rich history with them

See! This is what you get when you elect someone who does not cherish the rich history we have with the U.K.

The Pres only sees our constituition as a living document and not how it is rooted in such foundational documents as the Magna Carta. He does not see how our system of checks and balances has its roots in the parlimentary system of the U.K. He does not comprehend the unprecedented freedom we have is because it was taught to us by the country that spawned us.

Obama has forgotten that some things should not change. He cuts himself off from reality when he says we are the people we have been waiting for.

Instead of we the people, the children of Great Britain, do ordain and establish a great country based upon the lessons we learned from those who helped create us, we get change and the audacity of hope.

Change should never trump a worthy legacy's influence, rather, it should celebrate it and enhance it for future generations to enjoy tis rich legacy.

See! This is what you get

See! This is what you get when you elect someone who does not cherish the rich history we have with the U.K.

Legacy I'd bet a dollar to a donut it's because of that rich history is the reason he nay be snubbing them.  In his mind, England may be the main culprit involved in the slave trade that brought slaves to American shores. However, who may be behind the official dis of Great Britain? Remember we were all told that MICHELLE has slave blood in her genetics. Remember she's never been proud of her country before 2008. Michelle was also the one that dissed Gordon Brown's wife.

midnight cowboy...

Intersting point.  I had heard this elsewhere.  

However, England is hardly the only sea-faring country that was involved in slave trading.  What about Spain, Portugal, and the Dutch traders?  I reckon he'll snub them as well, yes?

And also, what about the African tribes who fought, defeated, and sold other African tribes to these traders to begin with?  Does this mean our nation will now snub certain parts of Africa?

Oh, and who here, raise your hand please, was actually ALIVE during the "slave days" and the Civil War?  How long ago was this historical event, with white folks owning slaves?

Just an observation...

F**K Socialism.

 

female klingons are vicious

female klingons are vicious creatures!

Although England wasn't the

Although England wasn't the only country in the slave trade, In Obama's mind, Britain is the biggest bulls eye and they are the most guilty. Since many of American laws and customs come more from the English and since we declared independence from the British crown, England officailly gets the royal snub from the A.D.D. empty suit in chief and his wife Michelle Antoinette. 

BUT BUT

History has SHOWN that it was the rich Africans who sold their criminals and conquered neighbors, not the British!

You know that and I know

You know that and I know that, it was the Africans themselves that sold their people to Western European countries. However try to find that in  any present day history book in any grade school, middle school, or high school in America. It's not there.

Out of curiosity......

I would like to know the titles of the 20 "gift" videos given by Duh1. Has anyone seen a list?

old cro...

Not sure, but I heard somewhere it was the top 25 all-time movies as voted by the American Film Institute.

Jer

I think it...

I think it was Porkys 1,2,and 3, Caligula, and all the Halloween movies. Barack's favorites. (LOL)

Caligula.  ROFL :)

Caligula.  ROFL :)

I Want Obama To Fail

Obama treats friends like enemies.

Obama treats enemies like friends.

Obama gives $1B to Hamas and doesn't think they are terrorists.

Obama/Biden tell the world we are losing in Afghanistan when we are not.

Obama wants/gets $2T in new spending and blames Bush.

Obama says to RussComms that we will stop SDI and the next week they start on their own and the Iranians and NKoreans both go whole-hog on launching missles.

You voted for this lightweight. I hope we all don't have to pay the ultimate price.

You support the troops by supporting the mission! If you don't support the mission, have the guts to say you don't support the troops.

Obama: Not my President. Ever.

I would normally...

I would normally chuck it up to incompetence but seeing as most his administration are Clinton throw backs, Obama can't really use that excuse. I would say it's part of the narcissistic syndrome that seems to envelope team Obama. The statement referring to the Brits as just another country like the other 190 countries tells me this administration sees itself as world ruler.

 

Alexander Hamilton: "We are a Republican government. Real liberty is
never found in the despotism or in the extremes of a Democracy."

OK, Is anybody here surprised?

OK, Is anybody here surprised? I think not except to say most of us did not really believe he could be either this stupid or this aggressive in his agenda. The manis so full of himself that anything that does not fit his world view simply does not register.

Letter

"I would rather be historically accurate than politically correct" ~ My husband's T-Shirt

My letter to the Brits

Was sent out yesterday, with apologies to the British citizens for our novice, narcissistic Nero in the White House.

I also concluded that if they'd like to join in our historical reenactment of rebellious events, such as 'tea parties' and the like, an 1814 march on Washington DC would not be met with any resistance on our part. In fact, we would help.

I sent a message, too...

I sent mine in the form of an email. 

"...peace is the highest aspiration of the American People. We will negotiate for it, sacrifice for it, we will never surrender for it, now or ever." President Ronald Reagan~ January 20, 1981

Who's he dissing?

Watch carefully to see if Obama disses Iran, Cuba or Venezuela.

The Obama's are pissed at Brittain

They gave Mr. Brown 25 of the COOLEST movies EVER! They also gave his two sons toy helicopters modeled on MARINE ONE, for crying out loud! All they got in return was a lame pen holder set made out of wood, not even metal, a framed commision for an old English warship that doesn't even exist anymore and a set of books on Winston Churchill that look like an encyclopedia set. Oh, and their daughters got two lame outfits that they don't even like.

He was hoping to get the complete Monty Python series along with all their movies. Now that would have been COOL!

Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

I'm just sitting back and

I'm just sitting back and watching this administration f up this country.  But, hey, the masses (duh-masses) voted for him and thought, "We're all gonna be rich!" 

This is a perfect example of the uninformed voting for the "Anti-Christ".  Geez..

And Rahm Emmanuel is SATAN...

Hanlon v Grey

It's stories like this that cause me to dither on the incompetence v malice question. But let's not discount the possibility that it is both. In the case of socialism, you have to think that anyone that believes in it is mentally deficient from the git-go.

PS: I wonder if he will insult the muslim arabs that be meets, because after all, most of the slave traders that shipped slaves from Africa to the Americas were arabs. If government-condoned slavery still exists today, it's in the arab world.

Ohbama Thought Police

That's right, nobody's home...

"In frustration O'Donnell said that that when he tries to get in touch with key members of Obama's Treasury Department "there is nobody there." The phones ring and nobody answers or they get messages and that is all."

Haven't we been reading that Geithner is overworked because he hasn't been able to hire any deputies, undersecretaries, whatever?

There is nobody home at Treasury!

So now, we know who's going to answer theWhite House phone when it rings at 3:00 AM - a freakin' answering machine!

British white men

From what little I’ve read on the subject a large part of the British problem rests with Michelle Obama. She has a problem with white western Europeans and in particular the British. In her view the British (white men) are the originators of the slave trade and since her family has slaves in their past (according to her) she struggles with the proverbial chip on her shoulder. That plus Barack and his wife’s affection for any political movement that subscribes to the Marx/Lenin/Stalin/Muslim form of government. I suspect if you were to look below Barack’s dress shirt you will find a Che tee shirt.

They need to be terrorists to get their call through . . .

Note to the Brits:

Your calls will be put right through to the Obama administration if you: 1) Attack America using our own airlines; 2) speak hateful things about America in a black church; 3) kill freedom-loving citizens around the world in the name of a religion; and 4) murder, rape and pillage the Jews in Israel, denying them the right to even exist.

Then, and only then, will the Obama administration take your call and speak with you.  Heck, they'll give you money and scholarships so you can raise more terrorists.  

"Amateur hour" at the White House...

Par for the course with Obama and his Obamamaniacs...This is as bad, if not worse, than when Clinton and Co. took over the White House in '93...that was a cross between Animal House and Romper Room.

This time around, it appears to be blatant, arrogant incompetence, and it all flows down from the top with "O" himself. He is such an embarrassment, but I have to wonder...The Euro press and people (particularly the Brits) were all such atwitter about Obamessiah during the campaign and immediately after the inauguration...I wonder what they're all thinking about their golden boy now???

Exactly.  Hussein didn't so much "hit the ground running" as he "hit the ground".

Doktor..."hit the ground..." is right...

You can almost hear the "THUD" everytime he breaks another campaign promise, lies, or commits yet another gaffe...

"What we have here is a failure to communicate"

I have found out belatedly in my life, that to communicate one needs to have a purpose.  I see no purpose or master plan associated with the Obama Administration's interaction with the public or the private world.

For example, Biden blathering on in the Middle East; Hillary bathering on in Turkey and Moscow; Geitner simply blathering.

Make sense of that and I'll vote Democrat for the rest of my life.

As it turns out, the great politician we elected hasn't a clue as to how to be a President or how to 'run' anything.  This should have been obvious by his resume; resume which we had not time to read.

The fault lies in many areas of course; the media being one of the heavy hitters in the misinformation campaign.  Misinformation in this case includes errors of omission.  That used to be a sin under the old rules that brought this country to its current state of affairs.

Yes, the old rules just don't work anymore.  History is a factual fallacy with no relevance to the crisis we face.  I have a hard time believing Obama is a Marxist since even Marxists were grounded in a rather shallow concept of the role of history in their creed.

Ah well, is he failing?  That is the question.  One might also ask for how long this silliness will continue before someone stands up and says; get a grip.

Obama snubbing the UK

I think the Obama's have no appreciation for our history in any aspect.  I can even imagine them trashing the White House.  I think he is arrogant, egotistical, selfish, and rude; no class whatsoever.  I am truely embarassed by what he did, in fact pretty much everything he does is embarassing.

Hawaii School

Barrky moved (back?) to Hawaii when he was 10, so before age 10 his education was probably severely deficient, especially in Western history. At age 10 his granny enrolled him in an exclusive private school in Hawaii. I've not seen any research on this school; is it one of those typical liberal show-up-if-you-feel-like-it schools where you learn about women's studies and diversity and finger painting and not much else? Anyone know?

Much about Barrky points to a severe education gap. Research needed.

Up Next The Irish for Annual Bowl Of Shamrocks Gifting March 17

Annual Kiss Me I’m Imus, coming up March 17th St Patrick’s Day. Also the annual gift giving of the Bowl of Shamrocks from the Irish Representative to the President of the USA, let’s hope this goes over better then the visit from Gordon Brown and the 25 DVDs, and O’Bama’s Irish Roots.

Poco, I was just busting, couldn't resist! I just started using Safari 4 Beta for Mac yesterday, and that is doing some really strange things, too.

We have all known for a

We have all known for a long time that the MSM is just one big echo chamber.  (It is hardly any wonder that we have a super narcissistic President; he is the made-to-order reflection of the narcissistic elitists of the MSM that put him in the White House.)

For anyone who likes to imagine that the European press did its own investigation/reporting/thinking with respect to the last year’s election, I hope this is a wake-up.  It would be nice to think that the Europeans will be a little smarter when our next election cycle comes around, but considering how thoroughly they have abandoned their heritage, culture, and identity, what difference will it make?

Don’t worry, Brits.  Once you become officially a Muslim nation – and how much longer will that take, anyway? – you’ll be just fine at the White House.
