Obama doesn't 'get' the UK because he's not white - Romney adviser

[WhyteRain]

The topic title is false. The article -- the first paragraph so I don't really see how it could be missed -- specifically assigns Obama's anti-British attitudes to his "Left-wing" perspective.

In the meanwhile, another Obama surrogate says Romney and his supporters are racist.

(Don't expect to find that in the MSM.)

I googled for it, just to make sure the MSM was keeping the news suppressed.  http://www.google.com/#q=virginia+state+senator+calls+romney+supporters+racist

I'd like to see the context of the remark, but here it is as quoted:

“We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special,” the adviser said of Mr Romney, adding: “The White House didn’t fully appreciate the shared history we have”.

Obviously the U.S. is "part of the Anglo-Saxon heritage".  What could possibly be even mildly[/b] controversial about that part of the statement?

And the guy didn't say "Obama doesn't appreciate" it; he said "The White House" doesn't.  It's clearly a hit at the whole Obama administration -- which is nearly lily-white -- not just Obama.

This is reminding me of that poor Greek girl who was just kicked out of the Olympics for "racism" because she re-tweeted a joke about how, with all the Africans in town -- remember, Africans are of all races! -- that the mosquitoes in Athens carrying "West Nile virus" (the Nile is a river in Africa) would have some "home-tasting meals".

I just went to go find it because I know the haters here will try to distort it:

The lily-white Obama Administration that doesn't appreciate Great Britain.  They gave him a jacket to cover up his golf shirt and then gave him the back seat -- in the corner, away from the table.



Maybe if he loses, we'll be spared the national embarrassment of a U.S. president not being invited to a royal wedding.

At least he won't give the Queen a DVD player that won't work with British electricity or I-pods that are pre-loaded with his "greatest speeches".

And if Romney visits Britain this year, maybe he won't get the year wrong by ... three years!

Or if Romney delivers a toast, maybe he won't try to talk over the British national anthem.



The easy way to understand Obama -- he really does do all the really stupid things that the MSM zombies only think that Sarah Palin does.

The newest sign that America is doomed:

I could think it being controversial to a good many Normans and Celts who aren't of Anglo-Saxon background.

Try as I might, I really do not understand the import of this post at all, unless it's not meant to be treated as an organic whole.

Most of it makes sense--it's WhyteRain cherry-picking things that Obama has done wrong in situations involving the British royal family and whining about the 'MSM'--but the first two sentences and first image make the post start off on a somewhat baffling note that just discolors the whole thing.

I can understand that.

The first part was a follow-up to my description on the previous page of the Obama Administration (like his campaign) as being "almost lily-white".  I thought this picture, being fairly unstaged and showing the most important event involving the Obama White House of his administration would be illustrative of my point.

Then I just thought we needed to compare what a Romney visit to Britain would look like compared to the diplomatic fiascoes of Obama's visits.  Maybe that should have been a separate post.

Obama obviously thinks he's a French socialist instead of a British citizen!

It sounds like a hit piece by some liberal reporter.  Many brits are very anti-religion and hate mormons and conservative christians.  Frankly, I'm surprised that Romney is visiting Europe at all.  He doesn't work for the Olympic comittee anymore, and he should spend time traveling the real united states and not our past overlords. 

In the GOP primaries, no one was closer to Obama than Romney -- the unapologetic architect of the prototype for ObamaCare.  Almost nothing will change if Romney wins.

GHW Bush:  Yale
Clinton:  Yale
GW Bush:  Yale and Harvard
Obama:  Harvard
Romney:  Harvard

Did you get rejected when you applied to Harvard and Yale?  You seem to have a beef against those two institutions in particular. It seems a tad odd as a fixation, as if attendance there affixes a scarlet letter to one's chest.

LOL -- god no, I could never afford one of those schools.  No one but I paid a dime for any of my college or college-years expenses.  I used to the G.I. Bill to attend Big (and Cheap) State University and Law School.

But I'm experienced with the "clubbish" nature inherent in elite institutions, and that's what I'm getting at by pointing out that these five guys are all from the same "club".

Btw, one of my best friends in college went to Yale Law and my nephew just graduated from Harvard Law.  It seems like I heard recently that one of my other nephews or nieces may also be Harvard-bound, but I can't recall for sure.  Oh, and my middle daughter says she's going to apply to Princeton when she finishes high school.

I hope President Romney restores the bust of Churchill to the Oval Office, a toast to our respective nations strong historical and diplomatic ties.

At this point in history, I would think a bust of Margaret Thatcher would be more appropriate.  She was the last PM with real balls.

[WhyteRain]

This looks interesting ...

[WhyteRain]

The advisers spoke on the condition of anonymity because Mr Romney’s campaign requested that they not criticise the President to foreign media.

That's because President Obama's insanely popular abroad and the GOP name is villianous.

Popular and villainous with whom?

I'm not getting the warm and fuzzy feeling that Obama's "insane popularity overseas" should bring.

A GOP candidate makes some remarks which are as factual as they are innocuous and the press misrepresents them?  Maybe the British don't have the experience with this common tactic that Americans do.

Romney seems like he'd have a hard time making a strong personal connection with anyone else. Not that he's naturally offensive, but he has this dorky superhero persona.

Unlike the real cool superhero... (I wish I could say for the dignity of the office that all of these pictures are artistic renditions, but one isn't.) 



You can put this one on your i-phone or t-shirt


You can readily see the studly resemblance of Superman to an Illinois state senator who had issues that voting "present" didn't solve:

Well, the British media is awash with Romney's comments, Cameron's cutting response and Romney's numerous apologies, so 'diplomatic fiasco'? Pretty much.

As I pointed out, Romney said things that were neither untrue nor idiotic but Leftists are pretending that he did -- even forcing "conservatives" to react.  It reminds one of how John McCain was recently called a "numb nuts" for going berzerk on the Senate floor about Michelle Bachmann without having read the letters that she (and other GOP congresspersons) actually wrote.

You see, the Leftists that control most of the news media -- well, most of all media actually -- have a meme:

1.  Everything a conservative says is stupid.
2.  Therefore, if a conservative says anything, it's stupid.

I see there's even a new thread dedicated to proving me right on this one.

No, you're not right. For starters the more powerful media over there is right, not left, but that's irrelevant in this case.

Unreality has a liberal bias.

What, exactly -- word for word, did he say that hurts national pride?

[WhyteRain]

It's hard to understand other races and cultures though. Each of us speaks and uses slang of our own ethnicity. For example, I get my hair cut by the black panthers and every time I go, I leave having learned a new set of ibonics. At first I didn't know what kind of place it was but it was by my apartment and I realized it when I walked in. Once they got used to the texture of my hair, I was getting the best haircuts I've ever gotten. It doesn't make sense to me and seems kind of funny but I'm sure they'd feel that way too if they came to my town and got their hair cut by a barber on Main St. It is natural for humans to feel safer and more secure if they do things within their own race, town, country, family, friends, economic class. This is a very big discussion that shouldn't really be taken lightly.

What? What? Ibonics? They taught you Ibo? Can you be our forum's black person?

What? Lol they just speak it and I pick it up. They say things like "dat bitch be chirpin like a pigeon on da roof." Another one of my favorites is " Weez just rappin for a halla minute." I'm not black though and don't think I can keep up wieht their ways.

The "black panthers" have a barber shop?
