Obama has not proven himself to be a "good friend to Britain." He removed the decades old bust of Winston Churchill from his office, his administration has implicitly taken the side of the Argentinians in the Falklands debate by telling us to talk with them over matters of sovereignty, and increasingly sidelines its most important military ally. Some friend.

@hullbeaty Obongo is a fucking disaster and I can't wait 'till November when he loses both houses of Congress.

I have seen this before, even at the time it was posted and I was shocked. It is bizarre to see a Conservative Party leader, seemingly fawn over a left-wing Democrat. The Conservative Party (UK) is the sister party of the Republican Party (USA). Strange. Politically opportunistic.

@Lodatzor Not that I'm sure my opinion will be heard, as you do not care. But since you asked I'll try again. On the matter of the shift you speak of, I've noticed it's shifted in only one direction: towards authority. This particular style of shit is unique because it brings the worst of both the radical elements, all at the cost of our liberty. The right has no monopoly on this shift. If you've not noticed that; I will not bother you with stuff like reason and basic observation skills anymore.

@Lodatzor I've never stated that he was a capitalist. I said that he was a crony capitalist. Perhaps not a revelation, but should be stated more before we cast our votes again in my opinion. You don't need to be dick about it. Considering that you responded to my comment, I thought my opinion would be heard on the matter, and that is why I said I don't respond to rhetoric from either side. Perhaps not, but I'll let you dictate the conversation. I'm quite passive on such matters.

""pandering to the extreme right."- Please tell me you're joking, and that fucking stupid."

Please tell me YOU'RE joking, and have not noticed just how far our entire political spectrum has shifted, to the point where the extreme right is considered acceptable? Pointing out that Obama is a capitalist is not a revelation. Pointing out that he has swung to the right and thusly received dips in approval is indeed an insight.

Prove me wrong, if you can?

"I don't respond to regurgitated rhetoric from any side of the political spectrum."

I don't care what you do or do not respond to. It's the truth. Or did you think that YOU can commandeer the conversation and not be challenged? ;) Tough luck.

"In reality, He's another crony capitalist with progressive rhetoric."

Why should I try and prove you wrong? That's true. Why are you arguing with me? ;) Just because I corrected a couple of things in your posts?

@Lodatzor "Yes, absolutely. Had he been white, he would have won by an even greater margin." I don't respond to regurgitated rhetoric from any side of the political spectrum. What you need to understand that many white people didn't want to vote for him because they bought into Fox and actually believe he is a socialist. In reality, He's another crony capitalist with progressive rhetoric. (Prove me wrong.)

"pandering to the extreme right."- Please tell me you're joking, and that fucking stupid.
