We told you so (updated)
And you wouldn’t listen to us. Conservatives told you he wasn’t ready. He has never RUN anything besides a campaign until he was elected POTUS. And now, he’s surprised at “at the sheer volume of business that crosses his desk.” This article, coming of course from real journalists over in England, details the reasons why Obama snubbed PM Brown — he was just too overwhelmed with domestic policy to care about foreign policy protocol. And if you think I called them “real journalists” just because of this story, I would point out that they were the ones who also found Auntie Zeituni before election day.
If you click through to the actual Telegraph article, you’ll see that it’s not just Obama who doesn’t care — it’s his whole administration. Some peon at State told the Telegraph that PM Brown was no more important than the head of any other of 190 countries. I would say unbelievable, but it’s not.
I linked to the Hot Air article mainly for the comments. There are some very interesting ones if you have time to scroll through. Someone lists the people in line for the presidency, and it’s scary. Others also suggest that the “prominent African American [backer], whose endorsement he spent two years cultivating” quoted in the article is none other than Gen. Colin Powell.
Update: Heh, Mark Steyn writes a funny article that begins with the DVD gaffe. He points out that the UK has a different movie format than America, wondering if Obama took that into consideration. He ends the article with this line:
The prime minister flew 8,000 miles for dinner and a movie. But the president says he’ll call. Next week. Next month. Whatever.
Update II: On his FNC program today, Glenn Beck gave out the address to the British Embassy so we could apologize for Obama’s snub of PM Brown.
