“Trump’s White House is “uniquely dysfunctional” and “inept”, “

[church mouse guy]

I hear you. The US made a fatal mistake with Iran by openly supporting the Shah for years while keeping the Islamists murmerers at bay. They never saw the revolution coming until it was too late.

That's the error of partisanship in foreign policy. You can't afford blind bias. This man must rise above his Left leaning and paint a true picture. It's possible his spin is largely influencing Britain and Trump is reading this. A conservative on one side of the pond reaching to conservatives is a threat to the political establishment. Spewing toxic hate 24/7 is a disservice to his handlers.

Jimmy Carter is responsible for the overthrow of the Shah. Democrats have not been good at foreign policy ever. Carter now gets donations from Islamic fundamentalists and Jew haters. Carter hates Israel and may have contacts in Iran.

Iran helped us during WW II. Carter threw that away.

The White House is fully functional. The plumbing works, no faults in the electrical systems, the cooling and heating systems function, the walls, floors and ceilings are well maintained, the roof and exterior show no signs of deterioration, the building and grounds are well manicured.

Now the occupiers of the people's house may in some manner be dysfunctional, even in some cases delusional, but respect is given - never earned. The president, no matter who, is and remains called, Mr. President.

But in Britain, are former occupiers of Downing Street still called Prime Minister?

Britain has never really comprehended the US system.

Excellent post! Sir Kim seems to be looking down his nose at the former colonials and their uncouth manners.

Well, Obama gave the queen the priceless gift of a recording of all of his speeches and Trump could never match that.

Did he really do that?

He really did. And on an ipod that doesn’t plug in to their plugs.

No, Obama hates the British because his Kenyan grandfather was caught by them and implicated in the Mau Mau revolt. The Brits worship Obama but very few Americans thought of him as an interesting speaker. He was trying to insult the Queen. He did.

Obama also gave British PM Gordon Brown a set of 25 DVDs containing American made movies. Never mind that the British have a different video format for their DVDs (PAL vs. NTSC), that Mr. Brown is blind in one eye, and I'm pretty sure they have access to DVD's in England.

Like so many current US citizens under the influence of those determined to make sure they never do.

Masterful rebutting job there. Not. But at least there's the alliteration.

Mr Onyango, a Muslim convert who worked for the British Army in Burma during the Second World War, was accused of sympathising with the burgeoning pro-independence movement that eventually turned into the Mau Mau rebellion in 1952.

Mr Obama wrote in his memoir, Dreams From My Father, that his grandfather "was placed in a detention camp" after being reported as a subversive "to the white man" by a rival land-owner.

After his release, "he was very thin and dirty", he "had difficulty walking, and his head was full of lice," wrote Mr Obama, who was told the story by relatives during his first visit to Kenya in 1988.

Mr Onyango's third wife, Sarah, has claimed that her late husband had his testicles crushed and his nails and buttocks pierced as jailers at Kamiti Prison outside Nairobi sought information on the rebels.

Mrs Onyango, who is now 90, said Mr Onyango still bore scars from his treatment when he died in 1979, and that the story tarnished her step-grandson's view of the British.

The President "has never believed the British do anything for a common good, rather than their selfish interests," she told an interviewer in 2010. "He said the whole act sounded barbaric. He wondered why the British never respected African culture."

Tale of British brutality toward Barack Obama's grandfather probably untrue, book claims​

So an ambassador makes a comment even though he is not in the WH every day. All I know is this. Things are getting done at the Administration Level. Life is better for most Americans these days. Fewer on food stamps, more at work. How is that not looking out for ME?
