Seriously, Let’s Apologize for our President to Great Britain!

British PM Gordon Brown & US President Obama

WE THE PEOPLE, of the United States of America, value and hold dear our friendship and cooperation with The United Kingdom, our CLOSEST ALLY in the world.

We recognize that the British people are rightly upset with the behavior of our President Obama during the recent official state visit of Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

This is NOT about policy likes and dislikes, it is not about whether we like our President or not, it is about acting AS the People of the United States–to make it very clear that we value our Friendship with the United Kingdom. It is about trying to make amends for this massive misstep of our President.

Here is what happened (in summary):

In an official state visit by the British Prime Minister, President Obama held NO press conference, had NO British flags, gave the Prime Minister a basket of DVDs (which he can’t play on a European DVD player), President Obama’s wife gave Mrs. Brown a Marine One helicopter model kit, and then…

President Obama–as an ultimate slap in the British face–told Gordon Brown that he is RETURNING the bust of Winston Churchill presented to us by Her Majesty’s government as a show of solidarity after 9/11 (it has been decorating the Oval Office ever since).

I call upon the American people to write to Her Majesty’s government and apologize for the behavior of President Obama. We Americans are not a rude people by nature and it is up to us to make our friendship with the people of Great Britain clear.

Here’s the address to the British Embassy:

The Right Honorable Gordon Brown
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
