Obama – the April fool – Disses the United Kingdom! – Gives the Queen an IPOD!

TELE3.pngLacking his telepromter, Obama disses the United Kingdom yet again. Not with DVDs though. Quick Daily Hits has the highlights, err lowlights:

The goods news out of London is that Barack Obama has reaffirmed America’s “special relationship” with the U.K.  The bad news is that the “affinity and kinship” that the U.S. president spoke of apparently only extends to England.

Mr. Obama’s first major foreign trip has been seen as a test not just of his leadership skills, but of his ability to navigate the protocols of diplomacy.  In the U.K., that means mentioning the famous special relationship between the countries, which has been important here ever since Winston Churchill first referenced it after World War II.

On Wednesday at a joint conference with Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Mr. Obama made a pass at acknowledging the special relationship.  Unfortunately, he inadvertently broke a cardinal protocol by at one stage using England to denote U.K.

We owe so much to England; that when you come here there’s that sense of familiarity, as well as difference, that makes it just a special place,” he said, leaving Wales, Northern Ireland and Mr. Brown’s home country of Scotland out in the cold.
But in a statement to make the mainly republican-minded Scots wince, Mr. Obama conceded one thing he loved about the U.K. — the Queen. [emphasis added]

And lets add another brilliant Obama move: He gave the Queen an IPOD!
