[Ryan Williams]Romney spokesman blasts British paper's ‘false quote' about ‘Anglo-Saxon heritage'

29. History major here.

The "special relationship" started with the amazingly close military and diplomatic cooperation between the U.S. and U.K. that started before the U.S. entered WWII.

The relationship has had its ups and downs, but some folks think that Obama isn't as keen on the formal (NATO) and informal alliance between us and the Brits as some of his predecessors, both D and R.

For more on the "special relationship" as an historical subject, go to Google. They have an extensive article.

Personally, I wish that the poodle Tony Blair had taken the Shrub by the collar and shaken some sense into him about Iraq, and that Calloway (or was it Brown) should have done the same to Obama about the "surge" in Afghanistan. In the latter instance, I think that Biden would have give the PM some assistance. Biden was against the surge all together, and appears to have been right IMHO.

Rmoney's advisor sounds like a complete clod in this, just like his boss.
