That’s a freakishly optimistic headline from the Express. Though if we’re going to re-write it correctly Obama-style, it should read “BRITAIN WE DO LOVE”.
Strange how usually in the top corner, where they usually advertise the chance to win a caravan or a washing machine, Jade’s won an extra day of life.
The fact Labour have had hundreds of junior minsters, researchers and PPC’s working and learning from the democrat campaign team in the last year to be honest it’s hardly surprising.
I’ve heard several suggestions that Barry might not be as pro British as most of his predecessors. Instead of an ancestral village in the UK or Ireland, his first ‘British experience’ was his dad’s stories of being tortured by the British army during the Mau Mau uprising.
Come on, the “special relationship” is a fiction anyway. The US only cares about us insofar as they can use us. It’s the “special relationship” of a prison bubba and his bitch.
Nick – That’s true, and speculated why he returned Bush’s treasured Churchill bust as he was the PM who ordered it.
Apparently though he is still pro-British as his mother’s side of the family is of English origin and he’s spoken at length at his admiration for the steps we took to abolish the slave trade years before anyone else (and even though Britain profited from slavery it was never actually legal here)

It wasn’t his dad. And besides, this man was born in a country that didn’t have african american civil rights at the time of his birth so, given that he’s now the President of the USA, it should be clear this is not a man to dwell on the past and bear grudges.
Some of the stuff in those articles were so tenuous. He described a British doctor he meant in Kenya as having pasty blonde hair and a couple of English people on a plane as having ill fitting suits. This was the result of a desperate search through his autobiography to find this sentiment.
Lol what did the Express expect Obama to say?” Screw that mother fucking country!”
Should I have some clue who that is in dead blonde’s corner?
I dunno either but she has a tremendous rack.

Subtle picture usage there! Chrimity.
“He ends doubts”. Doubts created specifically by whom? hmm, gee, let me think…
Is Obama using the Royal “we” now, then?

anyhow I love Obama too.

Exactly. Straight from the make the news then sell the news school of journalism.
Knockers like spaniels ears.

I wouldn’t like to think Obama’s views on my country are based upon the actions of a few imperialists many decades ago.
Well, that’s how a lot of British people judge it (plus the actions of a few footballers 43 years ago).
I’m not sure Chris Broad is a hero, all he did was lay on the floor of the bus whilst the soldiers regained control…
