A special relationship

One unanticipated (to me, at least) benefit of the election of the new President is watching the first of many nations delirious with support for Barack Obama thrown under the bus as it suits the man's purposes. Take the UK, for example. After Obama rolled out the less than welcome mat for the Queen's first minister of oh-God-don't-sit-me-next-to-him, at least one Telegraph columnist has had enough.

We get the point, sunshine: we're just one of many allies and you want fancy new friends. Well, the next time you need something doing, something which impinges on your national security, then try calling the French, or the Japanese, or best of all the Germans. The French will be able to offer you first rate support from their catering corps but beyond that you'll be on your own.

That was some short honeymoon. My heart pumps purple piss at the thought of the Obama administration; so little time in office, so quick to squander the goodwill of the French. I mean the English. As-Salam Alaikum.

Their complaints are varied but expressed with equal amounts of remorse and bitterness. They all have been done wrong by Barack.
