King Of America


I know this may be getting a bit redundant, but the boorish way in which the Obamas received, and treated, a visiting foreign dignitary, and his wife, is more proof of the mounting evidence that the President is beginning to think of himself, not as a public servant to the citizens of this country, but as a reigning Monarch over his lowly subjects.

Now, he's just itching for a visit with Her Majesty, the Queen of England, but I'm wondering how well that's going to turn out, considering this statement by a State Department official concerning the shabby, disinterested, reception of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, when questioned about it by The Sunday Telegraph:

"There's nothing special about Britain. You're just the same as the other 190 countries in the world. You shouldn't expect special treatment."

Uh-oh.

After hearing that, the Queen may not be all that interested in sharing a cup of tea with the leader of one of the 'other 190 countries in the world,' who just happens to be coming across as an ill-bred boor, interested in no one but himself.

Oh God, but I do love being king!
King Henry ll (The Lion in Winter)
