I can’t think of another US President in recent memory that treated our allies so poorly. Obama really does hate the British. Just like he hates Israel. A sitting US President hates America’s two strongest allies. What a disgrace.

President Obama was effusive in his praise for the Special Relationship when he visited London recently, but his administration continues to slap Britain in the face over the highly sensitive Falklands issue. Washington signed on to a “draft declaration on the question of the Malvinas Islands”passed by unanimous consent by the General Assembly of the Organisation of American States (OAS) at its meeting in San Salvador yesterday, an issue which had been heavily pushed by Argentina. In doing so, the United States sided not only with Buenos Aires, but also with a number of anti-American regimes including Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela and Daniel Ortega’s Nicaragua.

The declaration calls for Argentina and Great Britain to enter into negotiations over the sovereignty of the Falklands, a position which London has long viewed as completely unacceptable. It also comes in the wake of increasing aggression by the Kirchner regime in the past 18 months, including threats to blockade British shipping in the South Atlantic.

It’s impossible to imagine what Barack Obama hopes to gain by this. Marxist regimes are threatening Britain and Obama sides with the Marxist regimes. It’s almost enough to make you cry. The British continue to fight and die in our war in Afghanistan and this is the thanks they get. No matter where America goes to war the first people who show up with rifles in hand is Great Britain. To side with Marxist thugs like Hugo Chavez against our British friends is beyond disgraceful. It’s unforgivable. With friends like us who needs enemies. I’m embarrassed to be American today.

We should be telling the Kirchner regime in Argentina that a blockade of British ships will be considered a blockade of US ships. And we will act accordingly. Instead, Obama does the opposite. It’s like we’re living in The Twilight Zone.

Barack Obama’s historic state visit to the UK has led to media discussion about whether there is a ‘special’ or ‘essential’ relationship between the US and UK.

President Obama gave this toast to Queen Elizabeth II and guests at a state banquet at Buckingham Palace Tuesday. After the president took a long pause, the orchestra starting playing presumably too soon, causing an awkward moment at the elegant dinner.

Despite the fact that British soldiers continue to fight and die alongside US forces in Afghanistan, President Obama never misses an opportunity to poke Britain in the eye. During a visit this week from French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Obama said America has no better ally than France.

‘We don’t have a stronger friend and stronger ally than Nicolas Sarkozy, and the French people.’

This was a surprise to many in the UK considering the more than 10,000 Brits fighting in Afghanistan as compared with the 3,000 French who don’t actually fight. Obama’s latest comments follow a pattern of insults towards the UK which begun the moment he became president. Obama’s first act as was to send back the bust of Winston Churchill that President Bush prominently displayed in the Oval Office throughout his presidency.

Suffice it to say the Brits are getting a little tired of being kicked in the teeth by the American president.

Tory MP Patrick Mercer, a former commander of the Sherwood Foresters regiment, said: ‘I’m getting a bit fed up with the American President using terms like “best ally” so loosely.

‘It’s Britain that has had more than 300 servicemen killed in Afghanistan, not France.

‘That to my mind is a lot more powerful than any political gesture making.’

It’s a wonderful thing that America now has good relations with France. Sarkozy is indeed a great friend of America and a breath of fresh air after that skunk Chirac was in power. But Britain is without question America’s greatest ally. It is Britain who has been steadfastly by our side through war after war. The war in Afghanistan has become hugely unpopular in Britain and throughout Europe. It’s a political liability for PM David Cameron to remain so deeply engaged there. Yet Britain remains. After 9/11, it was Britain who was by our side. Tony Blair was at Ground Zero with Bush only days after the attack. He promised unconditional support from the UK and he delivered on that promise.

In an increasingly dangerous world where friends are hard to come by we would do well to remember who our real friends are.

A British High Court today rejected an appeal by authorities in the UK to keep Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in jail pending his possible extradition to Sweden. Assange walked out of jail today looking triumphant. He thanked his supporters and said he hoped to continue his work.

The whistleblower walked free after the decision at the Royal Courts of Justice to allow his release on conditional bail pending moves to extradite him to Sweden.

Outside court he said: ‘I hope to continue my work and to continue to protest my innocence and to reveal the evidence of these allegations.’

It is believed his supporters raised the £240,000 to meet bail.

What are they doing in those UK jails? Assange looks better now than when he went in.
