Not a very complimentary article written in the British press.

Subject:
Interesting: The Obamas won't be at William and Kate's wedding.

The American people can now more readily 'understand' why the Obama's were omitted from the guest list to the Royal wedding in April!

THIS FROM THE " LONDON DAILY TELEGRAPH" EDITOR 

This is a very sobering article.
  Our handling of relationships with the Britons over the oil spill won't help either. 

From The London Daily Telegraph Editor On Foreign Relations 

Quote: 

"Let me be clear: I'm not normally in favor of boycotts, and I love the American people.  I holiday in their country regularly, and hate the tedious snobby sneers against the United States .  But the American people chose to elect an idiot who seems hell bent on insulting their allies, and something must be done to stop Obama's reckless foreign policy, before he does the dirty on his allies on every issue." 

One of the most poorly kept secrets in Washington is President Obama's animosity toward Great Britain , presumably because of what he regards as its sins while ruling Kenya (1895-1963). 

One of Barack Hussein Obama's first acts as president was to return to Britain a bust of Winston Churchill that had graced the Oval Office since 9/11.  He followed this up by denying Prime Minister Gordon Brown, on his first state visit, the usual joint press conference with flags.

The president was "too tired" to grant the leader of America 's closest ally a proper welcome, his aides told British journalists.

Mr. Obama followed this up with cheesy gifts for Mr. Brown and the Queen. Columnist Ian Martin described his behavior as "rudeness personified." There was more rudeness in store for Mr. Brown at the opening session of the United Nations in September.  "The prime minister was forced to dash through the kitchens of the UN in New York to secure five minutes of face time with President Obama after five requests for a sit down meeting were rejected by the White House," said London Telegraph columnist David Hughes.  Mr. Obama's "churlishness is unforgivable," Mr. Hughes said.

The administration went beyond snubs and slights last week when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton endorsed the demand of Argentine President Cristina Kirchner, a Hugo Chavez ally, for mediation of Argentina 's specious claim to the  Falkland Islands , a British dependency since 1833. The people who live in the Falklands, who speak English, want nothing to do with Argentina .  When, in 1982, an earlier Argentine dictatorship tried to seize the Falklands by force, the British -- with strong support from President Ronald Reagan -- expelled them.

"It is truly shocking that Barack Obama has decided to disregard our shared history," wrote Telegraph columnist Toby Young. "Does Britain 's friendship really mean so little to him?"  One could ask, does the friendship of anyone in the entire world mean anything to him?

"I recently asked several senior administration officials, separately, to name a foreign leader with whom Barack Obama has forged a strong personal relationship during his first year in office," wrote Jackson Diehl, deputy editorial page editor of the Washington Post, on Monday. " A lot of hemming and hawing ensued."  One official named French President Nicolas Sarkozy, but his contempt for Mr. Obama is an open secret.  Another named German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But, said Mr. Diehl, "Merkel too has been conspicuously cool toward Obama."

Mr. Obama certainly doesn't care about the Poles and Czechs, whom he has betrayed on missile defense.  Honduras and Israel also can attest that he's been an unreliable ally and an unfaithful friend.  Ironically, our relations with both Israel and the Palestinian Authority have never been worse.  Russia has offered nothing in exchange for Mr. Obama's abandonment of missile defense.  Russia and China won't support serious sanctions on Iran .  Syria 's support for terrorism has not diminished despite efforts to normalize diplomatic relations.  The reclusive military dictatorship that runs Burma has responded to our efforts at "engagement" by deepening its ties to North Korea .

And the Chinese make little effort to disguise their contempt for him.

For the first time in a long time, the President of the United States is actually distrusted by its allies and not in the least feared by its adversaries
.  Nor is Mr. Obama now respected by the majority of Americans.  Understandably focused on the dismal economy and Mr. Obama's relentless efforts to nationalize and socialize health care, Americans apparently have yet to notice his dismal performance and lack of respect in the world community.
They soon will.

RecessionsAndJobs

Here’s part of the commentary, from a Wall Street Journal Saturday editorial (bolds are mine):

The nearby chart compares the recovery rate in jobs after each of the last four recessions, and so far this one has been by far the weakest. It would have been stronger without the costs and other burdens that Congress and the Obama Administration piled on the last two years.

… wages are flat, even as prices for food and energy are rising rapidly. The average wage of $22.87 didn’t budge in March and was up only one penny in February. That in itself is not unusual in the early stages of recovery when there are lots of idle workers.

The problem is that consumer prices rose 0.4% in January, 0.5% in February, and March may see a big jump as well. In recent weeks, gasoline prices have risen by 33 cents to more than $4 a gallon in states like California. Wal-Mart, the biggest retailer in the nation, has announced that it will have to raise prices due to higher energy costs. And this week, in time for Easter, Hershey announced it is raising its wholesale candy prices by a whopping 9.7%. All of this is putting a squeeze on middle class paychecks and contributing to consumer unease and a rise in inflation expectations.

The particularly germane comparison is to the 1981 line on the chart, which represents the country’s last really serious recession (in fact, the other two recessions don’t qualify as official recessions under the normal-person definition of two consecutive quarters of economic contraction). The reason job hemorrhaging stopped is that Reagan cut taxes. When he did, not only did the bleeding stop, but job losses disappeared sooner than during any other recession charted, even the far weaker ones of 1990 and 2001. But in the POR Economy, job losses were like the Energizer Bunny; they just kept going and going, because, as the Journal noted, of “the costs and other burdens that Congress and the Obama Administration piled on.”

If they really expected to get a legitmate recovery, they wouldn’t have done what they did. I question whether they really wanted to have one, and if they even want a robust recovery now.

    Sounds terrific to me.  Maybe if they look some more they can find more to cut.

    What this tells me is that we have to make sure we keep the Congress in Republican hands and do all we can to take over the Senate as well.  Then there is a chance that we can get the cuts we need to maybe bring down the deficit and force the government to live within its means.

GOP Budget = $5.8 Trillion in Cuts over 10 years

Scotty Starnes | April 4, 2011 at 9:11 PM | Tags: budget, President Obama, Republicans, spedning cuts | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-4XV

Obama will whimper and cry when he sees this budget. In three years, he has never seen a budget with cuts. He's use to causing deficits.

(Reuters) - A Republican budget plan due to be unveiled on Tuesday would cut $5.8 trillion from U.S. spending over the next 10 years, a congressional aide familiar with the proposal said on Monday.

The plan, which would take effect when the next fiscal year starts on Oct. 1, is expected to propose sweeping changes to the Medicare and Medicaid health programs, as well as hard caps on government spending and tax cuts.

DON'T ASK! The Pentagon is spending $600,000 on a statue of a fairy riding a frog with a big turd in its mouth

barenakedislam | April 4, 2011 at 7:32 PM | Categories: Military stories | URL: http://wp.me/peHnV-s1j

But is it a politically correct gay fairy? $600,000 in taxpayer money on a frog sculpture that lights up, gurgles "sounds of nature" and carries a 10-foot fairy on its back could soon be greeting Defense Department employees at the new $700 million Mark Center in Alexandria, VA this fall. The Blaze - (H/T Barbara P) - Decried as wasteful [...]

Which Muslim bigot sent a bloody pig's foot and anti-semitic message to Rep. Peter King?

barenakedislam | April 4, 2011 at 8:37 PM | Categories: Islam in America | URL: http://wp.me/peHnV-s1v

A Capitol Hill source reports the Washington D.C. office of Rep. Peter King (R-NY) was sent a bloody pig's foot with a note attached that contained anti-Semitic ramblings. The note referenced King's controversial hearing last month about the growing radicalization of Muslim men within the United States. CBS NEWS --Authorities intercepted a parcel this morning addressed [...]
