#2 But all the people who screeched about Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld now can't be bothered.

#3 Why does Bambi love France these days?He calls them his closes ally!

In UK we feel Obama loves France more than the Brits.It must be the anti colonial Kenyan background!

The 'Special relationship' is doomed with Obama in charge!
