I'm not understanding a couple things here. Why is Obama slapping allies in the face?
First he insults the Brits and Gordon Brown by not having the traditional joint press conference, and then refuses the offer of British diplomats to hang on to the bust of Winston Churchill in the oval office for another four years. Some might say those things aren't a big deal, and that's certainly up for debate.
However, the offer offer 50K in emergency aid to Italy after the quake....50K? It would have been better to give NOTHING. That was insulting. Beyond insulting.
