President Barack Obama!

What evidence is there that 'the world' ever had this faith? The reason so many people around the world hate American governments is because they are, every day, suffering the effects of American policy and have been for as long as American governments have existed;

Sir, i am well aware of the many failings and atrocities of the USA. however, i wish to point out that
a) the British have been equally culpable, and for much longer
b) i merely wished to illustrate my happiness that enough Americans have finally demonstrated the brain power to vote out those hateful Republicans.

Nothing wrong with that, a good culling never hurt anyone

i take you comment with the humour it was obviously intended to carry. there's a lesson in that.

Bollocks. Take the Queen's shilling, take the consequences. Unfortunately that seems to include US 'friendly fire'.

Your point eludes me. Yanks kill Brits by dragging them into pointless Imperialist wars and accidentally shooting them? Why is this any worse than Brits dragging Aussies into pointless Imperialist wars and accidentally shooting them or ordering them into a bayonet charge against a wall of machine guns? That this is the price of servility to the richer nation? It does seem to be. I don't see what you're getting at. What goes around comes around, it seems, and the Brits didn't get off to a great start treating the Americans well.

"Restore"? They started killing British soldiers in the 1770s and have seldom stopped since.

By "restore" I meant "at least we know they're not all morons".

It's easy to hate the USA, but they did give us Coca Cola, McDonalds, Ford Motor Corp and Starbucks, so it's not ALL bad...
