I'm sorry, quite frankly, as a proud British person, I find this quite revolting, I actually thing Mr Obama has actually got something against the British, thats quite revolting, this is unacceptable
If i was british prime minister, i would pull out great army out of afghanistan (the 2nd largest force after the u.s) and tell obama to sort his own mess out!!
Obama's treatment of the visiting Prime Minister was inexcusable, childish, and very regrettable. There is no possible excuse for it, not EVEN for past treatment by Britain of Obama's distant relatives, which is a subjective, anecdotal and surely exaggerated account. Sad... Very sad. November 2010 is coming!
What if he did not do this out of ignorance but intentionally? I mean, you might be able to say that about the dvds but how can you 'accidentally' not realize the bust of Winston Churchill given to us on 9/11 is important and then go out of your way to box it up and return it? What is he trying to say/do by this? Seriously, any theories?
we were one of the first nations to abolish slavery before the US and it was Spain that mainly dealt with the slave trade. and the African chieftains who sold there own people off.
such disrespect i dont care much for obama now , i mean what brown gave to the prisdent , it wasent just a pen it was 2 other things as well , and all he got wasDVDS i mean god , and also the churchil talk about snubbing , seeing as we bloody went to war with the uas in irag sending 47,000 troops fleet of ships etc, and no other nation provided more than 1,800 troops for irag!
fairman, what did you expect the Americans to give in return??
Because I suspect that either way, Obama would of been the target of criticism. Give something rare and expensive, and he will be criticized at home for spending so much money on gifts..etc.
I also don't think he expected anything as priceless as that pen.
As for Churchill, he was controversial even within the British Empire.
I think what annoyed us the most was sending back the bust of Churchill and the message conveyed. We sent that over as a sign of solidarity after 9/11. To send it back is, quite frankly, offensive.
And the administration worker who said we were no more special than any other country...should remember who lent the US credibility with the europe when they decided to invade Iraq. Perhaps the UK should pull all our troops out of Afghan and Iraq and refuse your intelligence agents place in the UK?
Obama is perhaps getting at Brown. Not the British people. No one likes Brown. Not even any Brit with half a mind. Though if he does this with the next Prime Minister (even if the next one is a total dick which 90% he will be). If Obama does not treat him/her in a similar way. There will be a lot of problems. Thing is when he went to see the Queen, and meet the British public he was fantastic.
He didn't get elected. Blair stepped down a little after winning his third election. So Gordon Brown being the #2 of the majority party automatically became the PM.
When do you intend to take your freedom jahid to do battle in Bejing? Are you signing your kids up for frontline duty? How about the dictatorship in Saudi Arabia? Or is it ok to be a tyrant when a nation is our "ally"? We sold bombs and guns and chemical weapons to Iraq while they were fighting Iran. There are pictures of Rummie shaking hands and smiling with Saddam Hussain.
The war in Iraq was never about Iraqi freedom.
And almost 8 years later Bin Laden is still at large.
But the die was set by that time. Overspending from 2001 through 2006, blown surplus, reckless deregulation and indifferent enforcement of remaining regulations. One pointless, useless war with the tragic loss of American lives and needless squandering of US treasury.
As the Dems had only a slight majority in the House IN 2007 (not 2006) and a noneffective majority in the Senate, can you name any Dem bill passed over W's veto.
This America/Britain relationship is making me want to chew bricks. Listen, that relationship only started during the w w II but like many other things, this contributed to the current collaps of the world economy. Prior to w w II, America has always been deplomatic with Britain and we are back to it and why? Times have change. America is pionearing an objective to unite the world in relationship not to develop a relationship with Britain.

Okay, let me get sentimental! Why should Britain remind America of "Slave Trade" by a gift? Why did Tony Blair not give George Bush a gift as such? Because Obama has a root in Africa? The problem with Britain is they are too sentimental and biased. They will not fly successfully in this new age if they don't jump out of that nonsense. The world is changing to a global relationship not a person relationship and that is that. Wake up! Dumb fellows! Thats why you are treated like puppets!
There's more to this than the gifts. Goes to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, and credit crisis. Some England banks was involved in speculation in the collapse of the Lehman Brothers. AIG biggest payouts are to British banks.
hey look at this hand pay no attention to the hand thats going to smack you in the back of the head .ha ha on april fools day yet . lets forget for now the 12.8 trillion gone to the black hole that wont release any of it to so called critical industry .forget that the govt want to run those industries with more tax dollars i bet theyll be good at too huh? but who cares neway lets just tune into the royal presidential goon show and suck our thumbs while we watch the comedy unfold
PM Brown: Mr. President, here is a priceless historical artifact which represents our country's role in abolishing the transatlantic slave trade.
Pres. Obama: Gee, uh, thanks. Gordy. You like movies, right? My daughters have some DVDs they don't want anymore. Lessee what we got here...Star Wars, the Wizard of Oz...You Britishers have electricity, right? Yeah? Well than make some popcorn and have a movie night, gordo, courtesy of the U.S. of A.
What makes it even worse is that with disregard for Americans he makes a very personal decision to send back a gift that we recieved because of 9/11. Something that has meaning behind it and that was meant for WE the People and not Obama and he makes a choice based on his own personal feelings towards it. Wow! now that says it all about what he really thinks about while he is in the presents of some very important friend of America
This is embarrassing and that is most likely why the press hasn't reported on this. It is so stupid to mention. I can picture Obama getting his nice historic items and then going, CRAP! I don't have anything for him and reaching back shaking his hand for someone to put something in it and he is saything quick give me something... anything and someone pulls a dvd set out of a gift bag meant for a relative. :o(
He's trippled our national debt in a couple months, has more scandals in 2 months than Bush had in 8 years, and THIS is why you "kind of don't" like Obama?
wow
you need to either listen to Talk Radio or watch Fox news network, because YOUR news boys (who were in the tank for Obama since the primaries) are very successfully keeping you in the dark.
To England: We apologize for having the most STUPID president in history. But look, in our defense, he's not a U.S. citizen, he's african, so it's just the fault of the brain-washed American Idol viewers and Marxist mainstream media in our country. We will vote him out just as soon as possible, promise.
I hate to break the news to you, and I SO hate to say this but....
1) even after ALL of his scandals, Bill Clinton was reelected
2) the press realized THIS election that they no longer have to feign nonpartisanship. They can go pedal to the metal for their guy and get their socialist elected. No election will ever be nonpartisan again.
3) with all of these things in mind, there'd have to be a photo of Obama standing over a dead body with a bloody knife, and even THEN, the press would go to the mat for him ( as well the rest of his "OJ was innocent" minions) to get him reelected for another 4 years.
You can plan on 8 years of Constitution Destruction, under an Obama Administration
I agree completely, they could have Obama robbing a bank on tape and they'd say it's phony, then apologize if they couldn't disprove it.
Listen to Alex Jones and fight the New World Order! Ron Paul 2012!! I think we're arguing the same thing here, by the way, we're in agreement except for the "ALL of his scandals" which isn't accurate.
So sorry England, we the people support all you have done, Sending my appology for the ignorance that our president has displayed. Please forgive us, you all are in our hearts.
Talk radio, ? All hate and anger all the time. Spoon fed to the simple so they don't have to think?
When President Obama trims his toe nails Talk radio does permutations ov inverted cranial insertions to manufacture a reason to criticize. And Faux Spews is a great deal worse.
The Bush Gang chopped up the constitution in ways unimaginable by our own parents, yet the Conservs turned a blind eye and manufacture claims or Constitutional crimes by the Dems
You know nothing of what my sources of information are, but be assured, my reading is much wider that Sarah Palin's and covers a wide spectrum of political ideology. Faux Spews and the Limbaugh ilk are good for a laugh and are the contemporary version of Orwell's daily 3 minute hate broadcasts. All spin, no news.
So what is your liberal source of information, ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT. None of which would I consider left. None as far to the left as Faux Spews is to the right.
That being said, I think, Linda, that the modern right and the contemporary left in this country both suffer from the same problem. Both extremes are pig headed and nether will lsiten to the other side. The Right and the Left are both off to make each other look like a strawman before laying into each other with more talkingpoints and party lines....
Obama and his administration (including his Sec of State Hillary Clinton) is ignorant of foreign policy and proper diplomatic etiquette. His style of diplomacy is to start a dialogue with the Taliban in Afghanistan. This administration is an embarrassment. The statue of Winston Churchill needs to be handed to me as I would see that it's displayed properly.
i am an american soldier, let me convey to you that this is not the consensis of how america feels towards you, but just the ignorance of a pompous fool who is in power only because of lies, deception and the sheep like behavior of a large section of voters.
My apologies to the Brits! I have always respected and liked the Brits and am grateful for their friendship. The Obama administration is filled with fools! How can they possibly think that it of no consequence to disrespect a faithful ally? Do they think that Russia or China would stand with us if we needed them? OH HELL NO!
Let's face it, guys - this new American President Barack Obama has personal issues directed against us - the British - he just hates our guts for something which happened to his grandfather MANY years ago in Kenya, a country which we, the Brits, built up from a tribal wilderness. We spent billions on bringing civilisation to Kenya but were repaid by tribal terrorism Mau Mau which we had to deal with and apparently Obama's grand-dad was seen as one of those terrorists so now Obama hates Britain!
Obama really is stupid if he insults Gordaon Brown.
Brown is LABOUR (meaning the "hired" labour - the people).
The workers are pretty anti monarchy, since the monarchs used to murder and enslave our ancestors (yes, white peopel were slaves before, during and after the blacks).
So he's insulting one bunch of slaves for being owned by the British Monarchy !Now THATS stupid !
He is an idiot! This was done on purpose and he is slamming it down their throats. He does not want Britain to be our allies. He has no class,and the title of (gulp) president sure doesn't lend it to him.
Please forgive us for what these idiots do, and understand that all American's don't feel this way toward you!
he didn't snub Brits,...it's just that he doesn't have class! don't worry he will be much different when the wonderful African leaders arrive for their handouts,...bet on it!
If it was deliberate, it's a slap in the face to an American ally, our major ally in Europe. If it was a "slip" or mistake, then it's stupidity and incompetence.
Which one is it?
Also Pres. Obama looks forward to talking diplomatically with Iran and North Korea. Obama wants to send a positive message to them, but he treats our allies with a snub.
Is this the "change" Obama supporters voted for? It's like I said in November, Obama voters don't even know why they voted for him
I'm upset about it! When I heard Obama gave the picture of Winston Churchill back, it sickened me. This man is a conniving, wicked, conceited eltist. When will the people of America rise up and make a difference?!
A totally thoughtless and classless act by a gross failure of a president. An intentional act of rudeness and lack of regard for international protocol. A slap to the face of our greatest ally.
Brits, please accept the apology of this American? Hopefully, we can make it up to you in 2012. God bless you Britain! God speed and God save the Queen!
@NAGGERNUTZ Thanks buddy. As a liberal-minded and pro-US Brit I was really upset to see this happen. I had high hopes for Obama. But I was incandescent at this gesture. He is openly anti-British. We ARE your most loyal allies and friends, but Obama seems to think we are dogs.
Ps: sorry about the arrogant way BP handled the oil-spill crisis initially. I hope they get a grip and rectify it ASAP. British people were pissed off with the way that it was handled, it just fuelled the bad feeling.
As an American all i have to say is shame on Obama.

That being said, I think, Linda, that the modern right and the contemporary left in this country both suffer from the same problem. Both extremes are pig headed and nether will lsiten to the other side. The Right and the Left are both off to make each other look like a strawman before laying into each other with more talkingpoints and party lines....

Obama and his administration (including his Sec of State Hillary Clinton) is ignorant of foreign policy and proper diplomatic etiquette. His style of diplomacy is to start a dialogue with the Taliban in Afghanistan. This administration is an embarrassment. The statue of Winston Churchill needs to be handed to me as I would see that it's displayed properly.

i am an american soldier, let me convey to you that this is not the consensis of how america feels towards you, but just the ignorance of a pompous fool who is in power only because of lies, deception and the sheep like behavior of a large section of voters.

My apologies to the Brits! I have always respected and liked the Brits and am grateful for their friendship. The Obama administration is filled with fools! How can they possibly think that it of no consequence to disrespect a faithful ally? Do they think that Russia or China would stand with us if we needed them? OH HELL NO!

Let's face it, guys - this new American President Barack Obama has personal issues directed against us - the British - he just hates our guts for something which happened to his grandfather MANY years ago in Kenya, a country which we, the Brits, built up from a tribal wilderness. We spent billions on bringing civilisation to Kenya but were repaid by tribal terrorism Mau Mau which we had to deal with and apparently Obama's grand-dad was seen as one of those terrorists so now Obama hates Britain!

Where did all the british black slaves go ?
We had never seem blacks here in england, before the 1960's, except with royalty (as servants).
So what happend ot lal the farm workers etc., when we made slavery illegal ?
Did they pay for them all to be sent somewhere ? If so, where ?
Where did they go ?
They VANISHED and were never mentioned again.

Gordon Brown got him back by saying our friendship was "UNBREAKABLE".
So, when Obama is ogne, the friendship will still be there, and cannot be broken by obama.
And yes, tour vids are region 1, ours are region 2 !!!
but, the resolute was a SLAVE ship, as well, so obama knows where he stands !!!

Obama really is stupid if he insults Gordaon Brown.
Brown is LABOUR (meaning the "hired" labour - the people).
The workers are pretty anti monarchy, since the monarchs used to murder and enslave our ancestors (yes, white peopel were slaves before, during and after the blacks).
So he's insulting one bunch of slaves for being owned by the British Monarchy !Now THATS stupid !
The Queen must be laughing her jolly head orf !

He is an idiot! This was done on purpose and he is slamming it down their throats. He does not want Britain to be our allies. He has no class,and the title of (gulp) president sure doesn't lend it to him.
Please forgive us for what these idiots do, and understand that all American's don't feel this way toward you!

If it was deliberate, it's a slap in the face to an American ally, our major ally in Europe. If it was a "slip" or mistake, then it's stupidity and incompetence.
Which one is it?
Also Pres. Obama looks forward to talking diplomatically with Iran and North Korea. Obama wants to send a positive message to them, but he treats our allies with a snub.
Is this the "change" Obama supporters voted for? It's like I said in November, Obama voters don't even know why they voted for him
dmak500 3 years ago
that's because they don't "know" anything
all they "know"is what their rap thugs and preachers told them
and that will never change as long as they keep voting democrats who work ONLY to keep them down, dumb, and dense, into office.
NBRA(.)org could educate millions, but they won't go there because they want to remain in the dark.

A totally thoughtless and classless act by a gross failure of a president. An intentional act of rudeness and lack of regard for international protocol. A slap to the face of our greatest ally.
Brits, please accept the apology of this American? Hopefully, we can make it up to you in 2012. God bless you Britain! God speed and God save the Queen!

@NAGGERNUTZ Thanks buddy. As a liberal-minded and pro-US Brit I was really upset to see this happen. I had high hopes for Obama. But I was incandescent at this gesture. He is openly anti-British. We ARE your most loyal allies and friends, but Obama seems to think we are dogs.
Ps: sorry about the arrogant way BP handled the oil-spill crisis initially. I hope they get a grip and rectify it ASAP. British people were pissed off with the way that it was handled, it just fuelled the bad feeling.
