I'm sure that when she returns from her trip, a few heads will roll. To make matters worse, Hillary announced just prior to the translation mistake being made known that they had spent a great deal of time researching the correct Russian word to use on it. <BR/><BR/>Oops... kerplunk, as another ball is dropped with our foreign relations.classic_filmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187752499562769994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916809362071329011.post-52005414896319960762009-03-07T11:37:00.000-05:002009-03-07T11:37:00.000-05:00Hah! that is awful. I wonder what prompted all of ...Hah! that is awful. I wonder what prompted all of it? Something behind the scenes we didn't see? Did someone just drop the ball? Obama certainly doesn't seem like he would have anything against the British, although Mike's theory is interesting.<BR/><BR/>There was an even worse gift gaffe by Hillary in Russia. She brought them a computer reset button, which they had translated to Russian, saying it represented how Obama wanted to change relations between the two countries. From Reuters: "They joked about the Russian misspelling of "reset" on the button before sitting down at an oval table with aides. "We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?" Clinton asked. "You got it wrong," said Lavrov, telling her "Peregruzka" meant "overcharge."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916809362071329011.post-17096955343618753772009-03-07T11:11:00.000-05:002009-03-07T11:11:00.000-05:00Intriguing historical info there, Mike's America. ...Intriguing historical info there, Mike's America.

Some say Obama...Yeah, that last sentence was great. <BR/><BR/>Some say Obama's dislike of the British goes back to the time when Britain put down the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya and had Obama's grandfather imprisoned.<BR/><BR/>Of course Obama still has relatives in Kenya, some of which are also liked to atrocities similar to those committed during the Mau Mau uprising.Mike's Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262938295909490454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916809362071329011.post-56908623355013651702009-03-07T09:23:00.000-05:002009-03-07T09:23:00.000-05:00Plastic lawn flamingoes... too funny! And frankly,...Plastic lawn flamingoes... too funny! And frankly, too sad. Former Pres. Bush is starting to look pretty dang good about now. He lavished attention and good ol' American hospitality on PM Blair and his wife during their first meeting here. As it should be expected of the leader of the greatest nation in the world. Obama is a self-absorbed frat-boy who just flipped off our greatest ally with his arrogant snubbing. And First Lady Michelle is not much better.<BR/><BR/>For another perspective on Obama's gaffe with England: <A HREF="http://www.frugal-cafe.com/public_html/frugal-blog/frugal-cafe-blogzone/2009/03/06/snub-the-brits-embarrassing-change-we-can-count-on-in-obamas-white-house/" REL="nofollow">Snub the Brits - Embarrassing “Change” We Can Count on in Obama’s White House</A>classic_filmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187752499562769994noreply@blogger.com
