a very strong interest of mine, so, I actually know quite a bit about the "special relationship".

I agree with you COMPLETELY on Blair and Bush and I'd say everyone, to a person,

on this board felt the same...Like many here, I didn't like the "surge" in Afghanistan

either, nor the drone strikes which Biden was ALSO against.

Romney is a complete idiot when it comes to "people skills".

and his gaffes are a staple of humor here, so most of us aren't terribly surprised

that his "utterly charmless and mildly offensive" personality is now a matter of

international record. One can only laugh or role one's eyes.

TV pundits this morning were in hysterics regarding his "diplomacy" and since

he's going to Poland, were wondering if he planned to tell Polish Jokes.

He's a very odd man, and I honestly think it stems from something

beyond what might be explained by his wealth, religion, or politics.
