Ooh - Politician in buttering up someone he needs something from shocker!

I find the most disturbing aspect of this article is the pathetically needy attitude of some Brits towards the Yanks - they don't love us, they're our allies because they need something from us, and vice versa.

We'll all be China's bh in 30 years' time anyway.

I couldn't quite describe what I was thinking about this, but that is the perfect way of saying it. We sound like a desperate little school boy whose getting upset because the bigger, better looking boy we idolized and followed around has started paying attention to someone else, leaving us crying in the corner saying "how could he hurt us like that".
fk me, some people need to get a grip and stop getting so worked up that America wants to make the most out of (and hence try to flatter) other countries too.

Seriously though, cannot see either man surviving after 2012, given the economic problems facing both countries.

Judging from experience from my visits to Texas and California a few months ago. President Obama is exactly Mr Popular.

Notwithstanding a Democrat governor was elected in California in November, 2010.

Mexifornia isnt realy America and as for Obama I guess Most americans who voted for him did so like we did when we voted consevative, It was for any thing but the incumbant party.. Talking to friends on both sides of the mason dixon line... the view seems to be the sooner the SOB is out of the woodhouse sorry white house the better...

And they most definitely have an army; their Foreign Legion was practically in Baghdad before being recalled in the first Gulf War.

The Legion is very effective, though that is probably thanks to the "Foreign" bit.

This is absolute crap IMO. I personally apologize for this tt. The fact that France better reflects BHO's socialist manifesto should have zero bearing on what Great Britain has meant and continues to mean to us in terms of history, culture, like-mindedness, and relationship. I am so very sorry. I will do my bit in 2 years.

Christ, they really are in trouble.
Still, the French got them into Vietnam IIRC, the source of all those amazing 'the US is better really' films.

He doesn't seem to like us very much does he! I'm guessing it's linked to the fact we banged up, and (allegedly), tortured his grandad in the 40's?

California and liberal Democrats go very much hand in hand. Arnold was an oddity to the norm.

Im all for this, withdraw all our troops and let the French take up the slack, they have an army right?

I am mad at this too; however, remember, you have no troops in Iraq and the Stan is a NATO mission, not just a U.S. one.

So in one sentence he's insulted the British, confused the French and possibly annoyed his own people (who still hold a grudge over the whole Iraq thing).

Why do so many people outside of America like him?

Because he is the antithesis of what America is and stands for; therefore, those who dislike us for whatever reason, adore the tt.

"upset because the bigger, better looking boy we idolized"

I knew it.

True; OK, "standard troops".

I find it all quite comical to be honest, only someone as moronic as Obama could suggest France was a friend.

The French like only the French, screw the rest of the world. Something in a way I've always admired about France.

I'm glad he doesn't represent the people even though he does speak on their behalf.

He's the only person who could have made Gordon Brown look succesful in power.

UK troops in AFgan 8,300 in 09
France 2,780

I don't know in what capasity they are there are the French at the front of the fighting or in a suport role?

One of the first acts Obama did was remove a Winston Churchil bust from the white House. I get the impression he hates Britain
