Windows & doors are tough to differentiate but can't he hire someone to answer the damn phones? The Brits are getting mad!

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.

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?

Don't sell me short -- I can complain about most everything in this joke of an Administration.

But the Secretary of State should know the dignitaries' names with whom she is meeting.
She has an entire entourage at her disposal to make sure those little gaffes don't happen.

As Secretary of State, former US Senator and former First Lady, I would expect her to have a grasp of basic world history. Instead, she embarrassed herself (and the Administration) by stating that US democracy was older than European democracy.

This woman is a hack - pure and simple.

"I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

She's pretty and smart, was that the point of the photo? I cannot seriously pin any minor gaffes on her. Everybody misspeaks from time to time. The sniper thing wasn't very pretty, but she lost no points from me. She has credibility.

Wow, there's a blast from the past. I had completely forgotten about that gem.
We used to listen to Steppenwolf a lot in the late 60's. My favorite song was Monster (the live version).

America where have you gone,
Don't forget about your sons and daughters.
Don't you know, we need you now,
We can't fight alone against the monster

(from memory, might have errors)

Kind of cracks me up, the look they went for, all the while writing very pop songs with a metal edge.

See now this is the kind of stuff that I find so amusing. Camille Paglia, who is by no means a conservative, writes a piece on Salone.com,a very liberal website, and she has the gall to actually be critical of Obama's staff and then the unhinged liberals sharpen their knives and go after her without mercy! It's funny to watch really, but what is it that can be said critical about The Socialist One that the radical loony left freakish cult-like fucks will let slide? Answer-Nothing! If anyone dare speak out against anything that Barry says, his policies, his staff, his gaffs, his outrageous spending, anything at all then the loony unhinged bastards and bitches come after you. Pity poor Camille. She will not long last at Salone.com I fear. The nuts are running the nuthouse these days.

From those unhappy right wingers at the AP:

On another potentially controversial matter, the president also issued a "signing statement" with the bill, saying several of its provisions raised constitutional concerns and would be taken merely as suggestions. He has criticized President George W. Bush for often using such statements to claim the right to ignore portions of new laws, and on Monday he said his administration wouldn't follow those issued by Bush unless authorized by the new attorney general.

White House officials have accused Bush of using the statements to get around Congress in pursuing anti-terror tactics.

Yeah! Right on funman! Rush should know damned good and well that the only solution to this economic problem is to tax the ever loving shit out of the rich job creators, and spend trillion upon trillion of dollars that we don't have! Everyone knows that the only way to deal with this problem is to grow the size of the federal government, and shrink individual liberties! Who gives a rat's ass if we are spending future generations money! As the line in Summertime Blues goes,"I'd love to help ya son but you're too young to vote!" These snot nosed little brats have no legal say in how their money is spent anyway! Fuck 'em! If we can screw their future up to save our own asses right now then they'll just have to figure out a way to pass that bad debt off to the next generation! Hey, that's the socialist way after all!

Whats your plan to pay down the debt that doubled in the last 8 years? Spending went up and we all got tax cuts and bought big screen TV's while the troops went without adequate armor. That's always a good plan!

A good point, although I personally didn't get a tax cut. I paid more taxes than W in 2007, but made far less.

The troops were also ordered to serve multiple tours in sequence, and their pay raise was voted down by guess who my friends . . .

Most (if not all) of the wealthy people that I know are glad for their new tax burden. They still have more money than they can spend and are glad the government will help out those in need.

Nobody is saying "f them". You're the first that I have read.
